A liver ""detox"" is not necessary because the liver naturally cleanses itself. The notion that the liver needs special products or diets to function is a marketing myth not supported by scientific evidence. However, you can support the natural detoxification process of the liver.

NADplus+ Complex contains multiple amino acids (alpha lipoic acid, N-acetyl-cysteine, glycine, L-Carnosine and L-proline) involved in the second phase of the liver’s detoxification. This biotransformation phase of liver detoxification is extremely important in ridding the body of numerous endogenous toxins produced in the body.

Environmental toxins are also detoxified by this phase in the liver.

🥚COLLAGENplus+ Complex contains Ovoderm® which is a patented source of collagen derived from eggshell membrane.

It works by providing essential biomolecules, including collagen and elastin, that stimulate the body's own production of these proteins, protect against oxidative stress, and promote cell renewal.

🥚It fights ageing by :

Boosting collagen and elastin:
Ovoderm's rich matrix of collagen types (I, V, X) and elastin stimulates the body's natural production of these proteins, which are crucial for skin firmness and elasticity.

Increasing skin hydration:
The supplement helps the skin retain moisture, strengthening its protective barrier and improving overall skin softness.

Provides antioxidant protection:
Its antioxidant properties help protect skin from free radical damage, which contributes to premature ageing.

Promotes Cell Renewal:
Ovoderm supports the skin's natural cell renewal process, which can improve skin texture and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.

Complimenting the antioxidants in the NADplus+ Complex, is the addition of vitamin C.

🍓How vitamin C works with other antioxidants:

- Regenerates vitamin E: vitamin C can reduce oxidised vitamin E back to its active, radical-scavenging form. This allows vitamin E to continue protecting lipid structures in cell membranes.

- Direct free radical scavenging: As an electron donor, vitamin C directly neutralises harmful free radicals by donating an electron to them.

- Activates intracellular systems: vitamin C stimulates the expression of genes for antioxidant proteins by activating transcription factors, which are proteins that regulate gene expression.

- Supports antioxidant enzyme synthesis: It stimulates the synthesis and activation of key antioxidant enzymes.

With age, the ability to replenish collagen decreases by about 1%-1,5% per year, and at the age of 35 fibroblasts stop producing collagen. Ensuring adequate collagen levels is crucial for promoting healthy ageing and preventing degenerative conditions:

Skin health:

- Increases skin elasticity and hydration.

- Reduces wrinkles and dryness.

Why? Collagen is a key structural component of skin. As we age, collagen production declines, leading to signs of ageing. Supplementation can help slow or reverse this process.

Joint health and pain reduction

- Improves joint mobility.

- Reduces symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Why? Collagen is found in cartilage and connective tissue. Supplementation can help maintain joint integrity and reduce inflammation.

Bone health

- Supports bone density.

Why? Collagen makes up a significant portion of bone matrix. Collagen peptides stimulates bone-forming cells and helps with calcium absorption.

Muscle mass and strength

- Supports muscle repair and growth when combined with resistance training.

Why? Collagen contains amino acids like glycine and proline, which support muscle tissue.

Hydrolysed collagen (also called collagen peptides) is generally considered the best form for supplementation. COLLAGENplus+ Complex uses Peptan® hydrolysed peptides with high absorption rates. Get yours today!

Antioxidants protect your cells from damage by unstable molecules called free radicals, which are linked to chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. They do this by neutralising free radicals, essentially donating electrons to stabilise them.

🥝Your body produces some antioxidants, but you also need to get them from antioxidant-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. Due to the overload of free radicals in modern life and the excessive demand on the body’s natural supply of antioxidants, supplementation with antioxidants has become a necessity.

The various natural antioxidants in Largavita's NADplus+ Complex have the potential to reduce the load of free radicals in the body significantly, which in turn slows down inflammation, cell damage and premature cell ageing and cell death.

Some diseases are damaging to collagen.

Autoimmune diseases (your body’s immune system attacks its own tissue) can damage collagen.

Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, dermatomyositis and scleroderma are autoimmune, connective tissue diseases known to damage collagen.

As we get older, our cognitive function declines. Memory loss, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating are all symptoms of age-related cognitive degeneration.🧠

Insufficient levels of NAD+ can exacerbate these issues, since your body relies on mitochondria and NAD+ to convert glucose into metabolic energy, thus supplying energy to your brain cells.

When you don’t have enough NAD+, your brain is unable to convert sufficient amounts of glucose into energy, which leaves your brain cells’ supply of cellular energy depleted.🤯

Stay sharp with Largavita's NAD+plus Complex.

⚠️ Skin that’s wrinkled, crepey or sagging.

⚠️ Hollowing in and around your eyes and face.

⚠️ Shrinking, weakening muscles and muscle aches.

⚠️ Stiffer, less flexible tendons and ligaments.

Recovery from addiction is a physically and psychologically brutal process, partly because drug and alcohol abuse has been shown to deplete NAD+ levels. Inadequate amounts of NAD+ make it harder to convert energy broken down from food. There has even been speculation that people who naturally produce less NAD+ may be more likely to develop substance abuse disorders.

Although NAD+ supplementation is by no means a cure for addiction, it can assist with a number of the processes involved in addiction recovery. It can help flush remaining drugs from the system, mitigate the painful effects of withdrawals, and reduce cravings for alcohol and drugs. NAD+ supplementation can even help the body produce more energy naturally, but without the negative side effects of substances like caffeine or sugar.

If you’re interested in exploring NAD+ supplementation as part of a holistic addiction recovery program, get Largavita's NAD+plus Complex.
