Research on NAD+ and its synergistic nutrients like resveratrol and quercetin has grown rapidly in recent years. Multiple human clinical trials have shown that NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can safely raise NAD+ levels in the body, supporting healthy energy metabolism and overall cellular vitality (Dellinger 2017, Yi 2023, Wang 2022). Emerging studies also suggest benefits for skin health, where boosting NAD+ may protect against oxidative stress and help maintain youthful appearance (Oyama 2024, Brito 2022).
Resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and berries, has been widely studied for its ability to activate sirtuins, the so-called “longevity proteins.” Reviews and clinical studies highlight its potential to support cardiovascular health, healthy aging, and even skin protection against UV damage and photoaging (Hecker 2021, Leis 2022, Gal 2021, Zahoor 2024).
Quercetin, another natural plant flavonoid, has been investigated for its role as a senolytic compound when paired with dasatinib, meaning it may help clear out old, dysfunctional cells that accumulate with age. Preclinical studies show promising results in reducing age-related tissue degeneration and inflammation, while human-focused reviews point to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as supportive for long-term health (Novais 2021, Islam 2023, Maurer 2024, Mirza 2023).
Altogether, this growing body of science supports the role of NAD+, resveratrol, and quercetin in promoting healthy energy levels, cellular renewal, and graceful aging — the foundation of Vital Glow.
