As a rising star in anti-aging, 5-deazaflavin has the following advantages:
More direct action: Unlike NMN, which needs to be converted into NAD+ first to exert its effect, 5-deazaflavin can directly participate in the mitochondrial energy generation process as a coenzyme without the need for conversion into NAD+. This allows it to act more rapidly and significantly, providing energy for cells and maintaining their normal activity.
Excellent activation of genes: 5-deazaflavin has a remarkable activation effect on the Sirtuin gene, which is several times or even nearly a hundred times that of NMN. This helps to maintain cell stability and repair, thus delaying the aging process.
At present, there are no clear studies indicating that 5-deazaflavin has serious side effects or safety issues. Moreover, in some studies and publicity, it is claimed to be safer than NMN.
Fewer restrictions and easier access: NMN is subject to strict regulatory restrictions in some regions. For example, in December 2022, the US FDA stopped the sale of NMN as a health supplement and began to review it as a new drug according to the standards for prescription drugs. In contrast, 5-deazaflavin is relatively less restricted by regulations, making it easier to obtain and use. Whether in the application of health products or other related fields, it may face fewer legal obstacles.
Powerful antioxidant effect: It has a strong antioxidant capacity, which is 15 times that of NMN. It can effectively neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress damage to cells, protect cells from oxidative damage, and thus delay the aging process.
Protect nerve cells: It can promote the proliferation and growth of nerve cells, which is helpful for improving cognitive ability and nerve function. It may have a positive effect on preventing and improving neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Enhance hypoxic resistance: It can enhance the body's resistance to hypoxia, protect cells from damage caused by hypoxia, and improve the body's endurance and vitality.
Improve physical function: Continuous intake of 5-deazaflavin can improve blood vessel health, increase peripheral blood flow, lower blood pressure, improve eyesight, and reduce fatigue. It helps to maintain the overall health of the body, enabling people to have a young and healthy physique.
