STUDYING NAD⁺ , NMN, & NR WITH A COMPLEX SYSTEM SCIENCE APPROACH

STUDY BACKGROUND

A small pilot study of Qualia Life—originally branded as Eternus—was conducted on 9 individuals in November-December 2019 as part of a larger research project by Longevity Diagnostics Research. The primary objective was to understand whether NAD⁺, and the levels of other molecules in the NAD metabolome, would change from baseline after 5-days and 4-weeks of supplementing with Qualia Life.

Venipuncture—standard blood draw with whole blood and plasma samples—was taken at three time points: (1) Initial visit to obtain samples for baseline; (2) After 5 days of taking Qualia Life; and (3) After 4 weeks of taking Qualia Life.

After completing the initial blood draw, each participant was given a four week supply of Qualia Life and instructed to take eight capsules daily, between about 7-9 am with a glass of water for five days, followed by two days where no capsules would be taken. This five-days on, two-days off schedule continued for four weeks.
