Mechanism

Flavonoid (found in chamomile, parsley) that inhibits CD38, the primary NAD+-consuming enzyme. Also a potent aromatase inhibitor and anxiolytic via GABA-A modulation. Supports NAD+ levels, reduces estrogen conversion, and improves sleep quality.

Contraindications

  • Caution in pregnancy (uterotonic potential at high doses)

Mechanism

Fatty acid ester with anti-inflammatory and joint-lubricating properties. Modulates immune response by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and modulating prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces joint inflammation and improves range of motion in arthritic conditions.
