A

Apigenin

Supplements

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)
B

TUDCA

Supplements

Mechanism

Hydrophilic bile acid that stabilizes hepatocyte membranes, supports bile flow, and reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress. Often used in higher-load liver support and lipid-heavy protocols.

Contraindications

  • Caution with active gallbladder obstruction
