New Studies Show ReDox Secret To Rejuvenation One of the observable truths found in cells is that they are constantly at battle with free radicals to maintain the homeostasis of the cell. When cells need energy, they break down glucose we get from our food to get protons to replenish ATP in cells for energy to provide for normal cell functions, such as contracting muscles or building DNA for new cells. The protons released from the breakdown of glucose increase the acidity level of the cell unless it is wrapped up by either Pyruvate or NAD+. NAD+ does a ton of work buffering the cell to keep it neutral and not break down from the "free-radical" protons created from the breakdown of glucose from energy. Blue NADH buffers the cell to protect it NAD+ Levels Decline With Age Normal cell levels of buffers are not made by our bodies, but are produced from B vitamins in our diet. The levels in our bodies tend to decline with age due to inefficiencies in the breakdown of v
