A clinical nutritionist of 30 years was sceptical of NMN. Then he read the rest of the label.
Mike spent more than thirty years as a clinical nutritionist. He knows what NMN is, he knows what NAD+ does, and he didn't expect much. "I was sceptical but open minded as I understand the science," he wrote in his review of Koru Revitacell.
Then: "What surprised me was the boost in afternoon energy! Impressive. The science is right and the results are quantifiable."
The science he means isn't the NMN. Most people have heard that bit by now. It's what happens after the NMN does its job, and what the rest of the label is there to handle.
Fuel is only the first step
NMN is a precursor. Your cells convert it, in one enzyme step, into NAD+, the molecule that lets every cell turn food into energy, repair its DNA and run its defences. NAD+ falls with age, by up to roughly two thirds by 70 in tissue studies. So far, so familiar. Take NMN, top up the tank.
Here's the part most people never hear. Every time a cell uses NAD+, it leaves a by-product behind: nicotinamide. Your body clears nicotinamide by attaching a methyl group to it and passing it out. That methyl group has to come from somewhere. It comes from the same pool your body uses for hundreds of other jobs, a pool fed by folate, B12, B6 and a compound called TMG.
That is why Koru built the support in. Take the NMN, and take the nutrients that keep the methyl pool topped up, in the same capsule. Then add the nutrients the mitochondria need to turn NAD+ into usable energy, and the one that supports the sirtuins NAD+ fuels. Replenish, optimise, recycle. The full pathway, not just the fuel.
What the other eleven lines do
Koru Revitacell was formulated with a Cambridge University neuroscientist around three jobs, not one.
How the formula works
Replenish
A full 500mg of NMN, the dose range used in the human trials, with magnesium for the enzymes that make the conversion to NAD+.
Optimise
CoQ10 as ubiquinol (the form the body absorbs more readily), alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin C, so the mitochondria can turn NAD+ into usable energy and protect it from oxidative damage.
Recycle
TMG 250mg plus B6, folate and B12 in their active forms keep the methylation cycle topped up so the by-products clear. Pterostilbene supports the sirtuins NAD+ fuels.
Twelve actives, named and dosed on the label. Made in Rangiora, New Zealand, tested batch by batch by an independent laboratory.
Pick up an NMN product in a New Zealand pharmacy and read the label. You'll usually find one line: NMN, or its cousin NR, at somewhere between 150mg and 500mg. Now read the Revitacell label. Twelve lines. The first is the fuel. The other eleven are the engine.
Tested in people
In a 60-day placebo-controlled trial of 80 healthy adults aged 40 to 65, blood NAD+ rose significantly at every NMN dose from 300mg a day, and the NMN groups walked further in six minutes than the placebo group at both day 30 and day 60. Across ten placebo-controlled trials and 437 people, average age 58, NMN was well tolerated.
"Having read the science, I felt confident"
Mike isn't the only one who bought on the label. Janice: "Having read the science that is behind this product I felt confident in buying it. I really do feel better since taking Revitacell for some months now. More energy, less brain fog." Chris, a repeat customer: "I enjoy reading Koru study references giving products more credibility."
Two capsules each morning with food. Customers describe the lift arriving between week four and week twelve, which is why the guarantee runs sixty days. The team in Rangiora answers on 0800 99 99 80, and the full label is online here.
