Section 1: The Cellular Energy Crisis: Why We Feel Old, and Why NAD+ is the Key
As the years go by, many people begin to feel a subtle yet persistent change after the age of thirty: the abundant energy they once had seems to diminish, their minds are not as sharp as they used to be, and it takes longer to recover their physical strength. This common experience is not purely psychological; it stems from a profound "energy crisis" within the most fundamental units of our body—our cells. To understand the nature of this crisis, we must delve into a molecule crucial for life: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, or .
Imagine the trillions of cells in our body as countless micro-engines, collectively driving life's activities. is the "spark plug" and key fuel necessary for these engines to run efficiently. It plays two core roles within the cell. First, as a key coenzyme in redox reactions, and its reduced form, , are central to cellular respiration, responsible for transferring high-energy electrons in the process of converting food (like glucose and fats) into the cell's universal energy currency—Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)(1)(2) Without sufficient
, the cell's energy production line becomes inefficient, directly leading to feelings of fatigue and decreased vitality.
Second, is not just a participant in energy metabolism; it is a consumed "strategic resource." Some of our body's most important protein machines consume molecules to perform their functions. These include the Sirtuin family of proteins, hailed as "longevity genes," which are responsible for regulating metabolism, cell survival, and inflammatory responses; and the PARP enzymes, known as the "DNA repair squad," which are responsible for repairing our genome when cells are damaged.(1) (2)When
levels decline, these critical maintenance and repair systems cannot work effectively, thus accelerating the aging process.
Scientific research has confirmed that the feeling of aging is closely related to the decline of levels in the body. Multiple studies have shown that with age, the content in various human tissues (including skin, liver, and brain) decreases significantly, by as much as 50% or more.1 This biochemical decline is directly linked to the various hallmarks of aging and an increased risk of many age-related diseases.1 Therefore, the "feeling of aging" we experience has a quantifiable biological event behind it: the systemic depletion of (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)
. This makes supplementing no longer just a luxury choice to combat aging, but a logical scientific intervention to address the fundamental cellular energy deficit and restore the body's youthful functions.
Section 2: The Precursor Predicament: A Critical Look at First-Generation NAD+ Supplements
After recognizing the central role of in the aging process, the scientific community and the health industry quickly turned their attention to how to effectively increase its levels in the body. Thus, the first wave of supplements was born, primarily represented by its precursors—Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) and Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). These compounds played a pioneering role in popularizing the science of and have been the most common candidates in clinical trials to date.6 However, as research has deepened, the inherent limitations of these first-generation supplements have gradually been exposed, creating a "precursor predicament."(1) (2)
First, there is an ongoing debate in the scientific community regarding the absorption and conversion efficiency of NMN and NR, which has caused confusion for consumers. A key point of contention is whether the larger NMN molecule can directly pass through the cell membrane or if it must first be converted into the smaller NR molecule outside the cell to be absorbed, and then converted back to NMN inside the cell to finally synthesize .8 If the latter is true, this extra conversion step would undoubtedly lead to a loss of efficiency, meaning that a portion of orally ingested NMN may not be effectively utilized.
Second, stability is another severe challenge, especially for NR. Scientific literature indicates that the NR molecule itself is relatively unstable, and its glycosidic bond connecting nicotinamide and ribose is prone to breaking, making it difficult to maintain its activity during production, transportation, and storage.11 For consumers, this means that the effective ingredient content of the product they receive may already be compromised, failing to guarantee the expected effect with each dose.
Finally, although numerous human clinical studies have confirmed that NMN and NR can indeed increase levels in the blood 12, these biochemical improvements have sometimes failed to translate into clinically significant health improvements or enhanced quality of life that consumers can tangibly feel. Some studies have shown insignificant or inconsistent clinical results, leaving many consumers seeking real effects disappointed.8
This "precursor predicament"—the uncertainty of efficiency, stability, and actual effectiveness—clearly indicates that the market needs a more advanced, more reliable second-generation solution. It must not only increase levels but do so in a more efficient, stable, and comprehensive way that brings tangible health benefits. This is the core problem that the Podeey NAD+ formula aims to solve.(1) (2)
Section 3: The RiaGev® Revolution: A Clinically Validated Breakthrough in NAD+ Synthesis
To overcome the "precursor predicament," Podeey NAD+ chose RiaGev® as its core technology—a patented ingredient that represents a revolutionary advancement in the field of synthesis. It does not simply provide a precursor; instead, through sophisticated scientific design, it fundamentally optimizes the biological synthesis pathway of , and its superior effects have been confirmed in rigorous human clinical trials. (1)
3.1 The Science of Synergy: How D-Ribose Unlocks the Full Potential of Nicotinamide
RiaGev® is a unique patented composition consisting of Nicotinamide (NAM) and D-Ribose.16 The ingenuity of this combination lies in its deep understanding and resolution of a key bottleneck in the
synthesis process.
In the human body, nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3) is one of the main raw materials for synthesizing . However, to convert nicotinamide into , the cell needs a crucial "activating" molecule called 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). D-ribose is the direct and efficient raw material for synthesizing PRPP.
We can use a simple analogy to understand this process: "If nicotinamide is the 'brick' for building the wall, then the PRPP provided by D-ribose is the 'cement' that binds the bricks together. Without enough high-quality cement, you can't efficiently build a sturdy wall, no matter how many bricks you have."
Traditional nicotinamide supplements only provide the "bricks," ignoring the fact that the supply of "cement" may be insufficient. RiaGev®, by cleverly combining the two, ensures that while supplementing with nicotinamide, the cells also have ample PRPP, thereby greatly amplifying the efficiency of synthesis. This design allows RiaGev® to achieve effects far superior to supplementing with nicotinamide alone, within a safe and reasonable dosage range, which is the core reason for its patent protection.(1)
3.2 Decoding the Data: The True Revelations of the RiaGev® Human Clinical Trial
The superior effects of RiaGev® are not just theoretical; they have been rigorously tested by the "gold standard" of scientific research—a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover pilot clinical trial.16 This study, published in the authoritative journal
Nutrients, reveals the profound impact of RiaGev® on the human body.
The study found that RiaGev® brings about not just an increase in , but a comprehensive systemic upgrade of the cellular energy and defense systems:
-
Unprecedented Increase: One of the most striking findings of the study was a significant 27% increase in levels compared to the placebo group. is the phosphorylated form of , and it is crucial for anabolic metabolism (such as the synthesis of fatty acids and steroids) and for maintaining a strong antioxidant defense system through its reduced form, .14 This indicates that the effects of RiaGev® go far beyond energy production, delving deeper into cellular repair, construction, and protection.
-
Robust Increase: The trial also confirmed that RiaGev® can significantly increase blood levels, showing an approximate 10-11% increase over baseline and the placebo group by day 5.14 This directly provides ample "fuel" for the Sirtuin longevity proteins and PARP DNA repair enzymes.
-
Achieving the "Cellular Trifecta": Even more excitingly, RiaGev® achieved a simultaneous increase in three core cellular molecules—, ATP (the cell's energy currency), and Glutathione (GSH, the body's "master antioxidant").16 This "three-in-one" synergistic effect is difficult for single-precursor supplements to achieve, meaning that cells are not only more energetic but also have stronger defense capabilities.
-
Tangible Health Benefits: In addition to biochemical markers, the study also observed actual improvements in human health status. After taking RiaGev®, subjects' morning salivary cortisol (the primary stress hormone) levels significantly decreased, while post-meal glucose tolerance significantly improved without an increase in insulin secretion, suggesting improved insulin sensitivity.16 Furthermore, participants reported reduced fatigue and improved mental concentration and motivation through questionnaires.16
To more intuitively display these breakthrough results, the following table summarizes the key data from the clinical trial:

3.3 The Absorption Advantage: Why Podeey Works Faster and Lasts Longer
The excellence of Podeey NAD+ lies not only in the science of its core ingredients but also in its extraordinary bioavailability and absorption stability. This is clearly demonstrated by the absorption rate chart (Figure 1, Figure 3).
The orange line in the chart represents the absorption performance of Podeey NAD+, which remains stable at a high level of nearly 90% for up to 28 days. In stark contrast, the white line representing "Traditional NAD" shows a sharp decline in absorption rate after the first week, with its effectiveness dropping to less than 30% by day 28.
This data directly answers a question consumers might have: "Why are there only 30 capsules in a bottle?" The answer lies in efficiency. When each capsule can provide such efficient and lasting absorption, its effect is far beyond that of products whose absorption rates decrease over time. Podeey pursues the maximum impact of each dose, not just the quantity. This sustained high bioavailability is the scientific basis for why Podeey can take effect faster and last longer than its peers, ensuring that every investment you make yields the maximum return.
Section 4: The Cellular Optimization Quartet: More Than Just NAD+
If RiaGev® is like replacing your cells with a high-performance new engine, then the complete Podeey NAD+ formula is a fully integrated, synergistic high-performance system built around that engine. To achieve true peak performance, you need not only high-octane fuel but also to build new energy factories, hire professional cleaning crews, and deploy elite security forces. Podeey NAD+ achieves this goal through its unique "Cellular Optimization Quartet"—RiaGev®, PQQ, Spermidine, and Ergothioneine—elevating cellular health to an unprecedented level.
This formula is not a random collection of popular ingredients but a multi-dimensional solution designed based on profound principles of cell biology, targeting multiple aging pathways. It perfectly illustrates the synergistic effect of "1+1+1+1 > 4."
4.1 PQQ: Rebuilding Your Cellular Power Plants
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ) plays the role of the "cellular energy architect" in the Podeey formula. Its core function is to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis—that is, to promote the generation of brand-new mitochondria within the cells.22
You can think of it this way: RiaGev® provides higher quality fuel for existing mitochondria (the cell's "power plants"), while PQQ is "building brand-new power plants" inside your cells. This not only increases the output of existing plants but also fundamentally increases your body's total energy production capacity. As we age, the number and function of mitochondria decline, and this unique role of PQQ is crucial for reversing age-related energy decline. Additionally, PQQ itself is a powerful antioxidant that can precisely protect mitochondria from oxidative damage, ensuring these power plants can operate efficiently and safely.26
4.2 Spermidine: Activating Your Body's Natural Cleanup System
Spermidine is the "cellular environmental manager" in the formula. Its key role is to induce autophagy—a Nobel Prize-winning life mechanism.28
Autophagy can be likened to the cell's internal "waste recycling and reuse system." Over time, a large amount of damaged proteins, aging organelles, and other metabolic waste accumulates in the cells. This "garbage" slows down the cell's operating efficiency, triggers inflammation, and accelerates aging. Spermidine acts like the master switch that starts this system, activating the autophagy process to efficiently clear out this cellular debris and recycle usable parts, thereby maintaining the cell's cleanliness, efficiency, and youthfulness. Studies show that the body's spermidine levels decline with age, so supplementing to maintain the activity of this key cleaning system is crucial for extending a healthy lifespan.32 Multiple studies have linked spermidine to longevity, cardiovascular health, and improved cognitive function.32
4.3 Ergothioneine: The Elite Bodyguard for Your Most Vulnerable Cells
Ergothioneine is the "cellular elite bodyguard" in the formula, a unique and intelligent "master antioxidant".34
Its biggest difference from other antioxidants is its "targeting" ability. The human body has evolved a specific transporter for ergothioneine (SLC22A4), which actively captures ergothioneine from the blood and precisely transports it to the cells and tissues that need the most protection and are under the highest oxidative stress, such as the brain, eyes, bone marrow, and mitochondria.35
This mechanism is like this: "If ordinary antioxidants are the patrol officers in the city, then ergothioneine is the 'Secret Service agent' responsible for protecting the core leadership. Its mission is clear: to protect your body's most valuable assets—cellular DNA and mitochondria—from free radical attacks." Scientific research has found that lower levels of ergothioneine in the blood are associated with cognitive decline and other age-related problems.36
These four ingredients together form a self-reinforcing closed-loop system: RiaGev® boosts energy, PQQ builds energy facilities, Spermidine cleans up metabolic waste, and Ergothioneine protects the entire system. This well-thought-out synergistic formula makes Podeey NAD+ far superior to any single-ingredient supplement, making it a truly comprehensive cellular optimization solution.
Section 5: Visible Proof: When Inner Health Blossoms into Outer Radiance
We have delved deep into how Podeey NAD+ initiates a profound internal revolution at the cellular level. But the question most consumers care about is: "What tangible, visible effects can these internal scientific changes bring me?" The answer is a resounding yes. When you truly optimize the function of trillions of cells from the inside, the effects will inevitably be reflected in your outward appearance.
To verify this, the effects of Podeey NAD+ were objectively and quantitatively confirmed in a 28-day skin health transformation study. This study was not based on subjective feelings but used precise scientific instruments to measure the real changes in key skin indicators after taking the product. The results were not only remarkable but also provided strong evidence for the product's "inside-out" anti-aging philosophy.
The study data showed astonishing improvements in the participants' skin condition in just 28 days:
Table 2: Quantified Improvements in Skin Health Indicators After 28 Days
Skin Health Indicator |
Clinically Measured Improvement |
What This Means for You |
Facial Firmness |
+85.2% |
Facial contours look tighter and more lifted, presenting a youthful profile. |
Skin Elasticity |
+73.9% |
Skin feels more "bouncy," fuller, more resilient, and younger to the touch. |
Skin Wrinkles |
-77.6% |
The depth and number of fine lines and wrinkles are significantly reduced, making the skin appear smoother. |
These amazing numbers (Figure 4) are not magic but the external manifestation of the cellular science discussed in the previous sections. The increase in facial firmness and elasticity stems from abundant cellular energy (ATP), which provides ample power for the synthesis of collagen and elastin. The significant reduction in wrinkles is the combined result of cellular autophagy (activated by spermidine) clearing out damaged proteins that cause skin aging, and powerful antioxidants like ergothioneine and glutathione protecting the skin from oxidative damage. It is worth mentioning that even the D-ribose component in RiaGev® showed wrinkle-reducing effects in earlier topical application studies, further confirming its powerful potential for skin health.40
This set of data is the most solid bridge connecting complex science with consumer desires. It tells us that true "healthy aging" and "beauty from within" are not empty slogans but measurable, visible results that can be achieved through scientific intervention.
