NAD+: The Molecule Behind Cellular Energy, Repair & Ageing

NAD+: The Molecule Behind Cellular Energy, Repair & Ageing

Every second of every day, trillions of cells throughout your body are performing an extraordinary amount of work. They convert food into usable energy; They repair damaged DNA; They respond to stress; They communicate; They maintain tissues. And behind many of these processes sits a molecule that has become one of the most talked-about subjects in longevity science: NAD+

The Power of Natural Signalling: Ipamorelin & the Growth Hormone Pathway

The Power of Natural Signalling: Ipamorelin & the Growth Hormone Pathway

Rather than circulating at a constant level throughout the day, growth hormone (GH) is normally secreted by the pituitary gland in bursts — with one of the largest pulses typically associated with slow-wave sleep. As we age, the amplitude and frequency of these pulses tend to decline.

Tirzepatide vs Retatrutide: What the Evidence Actually Shows

Tirzepatide vs Retatrutide: What the Evidence Actually Shows

The easiest way to understand the difference is to look at both the biology and the maturity of the evidence. Tirzepatide is a dual receptor agonist, targeting GIP and GLP-1 receptors. It is already an approved prescription medicine and has been studied extensively in large Phase 3 clinical trials. Retatrutide is a triple receptor agonist, targeting GIP and GLP-1 receptors while adding activity at the glucagon receptor.
