Compounds in AEON™:
-
Nicotinamide DUO™
Nicotinamide DUO™ is a proprietary NAD+ precursor developed by Perpetua.Life® Biotech based on a an 80/20 blend of Mono/Riboside (LNR) which has been found to boost NAD+ level even higher than Riboside alone.
NAD+ is a compound found in every cell in your body and involved in many critical processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression (22, 23).
NAD+ levels decline with age, and this decline is thought to be associated with accelerated physical decline and the onset of age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s (23).
Studies have shown that supplementing with NAD+ precursors like NR restores NAD+ levels and prevents age-related physical decline (24)
For example, a study in aging subjects demonstrated that supplementing orally with Nicotinamide Mono prevented age-associated genetic changes and improved energy metabolism, physical activity, and insulin sensitivity (24B).
A 2019 study in 12 men with an average age of 75 showed that supplementing with up to 1 gram of Nicotinamide daily for 21 days increased NAD+ levels in skeletal muscle and reduced levels of inflammatory proteins in the body (25). -

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG)
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a well-known polyphenol compound concentrated in green tea. It offers impressive health benefits, with research supporting its use to reduce the risk of certain cancers, as well as other health conditions like heart disease (9, 10, 11).
Among EGCG’s diverse array of potential health-promoting properties is its ability to promote longevity and protect against age-related disease development.
EGCG may slow aging by restoring mitochondrial function in cells and acting on pathways involved in aging, including the AMP-activated protein kinase signaling pathway (AMPK).
It also induces autophagy, the process by which your body removes damaged cellular material (12).
EGCG intake has been associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, diabetes, stroke, and heart-disease-related death. Plus, animal studies have shown that it can protect against skin aging and wrinkles caused by ultraviolet (UV) light (13, 14, 15).

Trimethylglycine
TMG has outstanding effects on controlling homocysteine levels in the blood. Homocysteine significantly increases around the middle stage of life, and it's linked to the development of heart disease and stroke.
In a breast cancer study, having more TMG in patients' diets was linked to fewer deaths from cancer [source].
In another study of more than 2800 lung cancer patients, high betaine intake was found to be protective against lung cancer [source].
A study including 193 senior citizens showed that an increase in TMG was linked to improvements in response time, memory, and brain function. People whose TMG levels went up the most also saw the most improvement in their memories [source].
Additionally, TMG is also being explored as treatment for other neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease [source].

Spermidine has anti-inflammatory and anti-antioxidant properties, and can also enhance respiration and metabolic function. Increased dietary spermidine intake is thought to reduce the risk of diseases like cancer, metabolic disease, heart disease and neurodegeneration [1].
It can also improve memory and slow cognitive decline, as autophagy clears Alzheimer’s-causing amyloid-beta plaques in the brain and can thereby be used to prevent memory loss in older people suffering from mild dementia [2].
