Gundry MD Launches Elevate NAD+: NMN Supplement with Patent-Pending Beadlet Technology Targets Age-Related NAD+ Decline
核心洞察
Gundry MD (搜索) announced the launch of Elevate NAD+, a new anti-aging supplement featuring stabilized NMN delivered via a novel patent-pending acid-resistant beadlet system.
The formulation addresses two key challenges with NMN supplementation — poor stability during storage and degradation by stomach acid before gut absorption.
NAD+ levels decline sharply with age, dropping approximately 50% by age 50, and NMN has been shown in human clinical trials to raise NAD+ levels by up to 50–100%.
Gundry MD (搜索), the health and wellness brand founded by cardiothoracic surgeon and longevity researcher Dr. Steven Gundry, announced on June 18, 2026 the launch of Gundry MD Elevate NAD+, its most advanced anti-aging supplement to date. The product is formulated with stabilized NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) delivered through a novel patent-pending beadlet system designed to meaningfully raise the body's NAD+ levels.
"After decades of research and countless iterations, the science finally caught up with my vision," said Steven Gundry, MD. "I've been fascinated by NAD-supporting supplements for about 25 years now, and I've watched the evolution of these supplements and how to support NAD — and Gundry MD (搜索) Elevate NAD+ represents everything I've learned along the way."
The Biology of NAD+ Decline
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell that plays a central role in converting food into energy, repairing damaged DNA, and supporting cellular regeneration. Scientists now widely regard declining NAD+ as one of the primary drivers of the aging process itself.
NAD+ levels drop sharply with age. By age 50, most adults have lost roughly 50% of the NAD+ they had in their 20s. By age 70, those levels are a fraction of what they once were, and the consequences manifest across every system of the body — fatigue, cognitive fog, joint stiffness, muscle loss, metabolic slowdown, and accelerated skin aging are all linked to this decline.
Solving the NMN Delivery Problem
NMN is the direct biological precursor to NAD+. When absorbed in the gut, NMN is enzymatically converted into NAD+, replenishing the body's supply. Human clinical trials have shown NMN can raise NAD+ levels by up to 50 to 100 percent. However, most NMN supplements face two critical failures: NMN is fragile and degrades within weeks under normal storage conditions, and even intact NMN can be destroyed by stomach acid before reaching the gut.
Elevate NAD+ addresses both challenges. Each capsule contains NMN sealed inside acid-resistant enteric-coated beadlets that keep the compound stable from production through digestion, ensuring it arrives in the gut intact and converts to NAD+ as intended. The patent-pending beadlet technology also helps keep the formula potent for up to two years from the date of production.
Formulation and Ingredient Profile
Beyond NMN, the formula includes seven additional ingredients organized into two targeted blends. The NAD+ Support Blend pairs NMN with nicotinamide riboside tartrate (搜索) — a second NAD+ precursor — along with liposomal quercetin and wasabi root extract (Wasabia japonica) to further drive NAD+ production and address senescent cells that consume NAD+. The Adaptogenic Longevity Blend adds NooGandha ashwagandha (a liposomal form optimized for cognitive support), NordicCherry (a standardized Scandinavian cherry extract rich in anthocyanins), tart cherry extract, ErgoActive ergothioneine, and holy basil leaf extract (Ocimum tenuiflorum) to support brain health, stress resilience, joint comfort, and healthy aging at the cellular level.
The product is taken as one capsule daily with water, with each bottle providing a 30-day supply.
Internal User Study
In a 12-week internal study of 23 compensated users aged 37–72, 100% of participants reported they wanted to continue using the formula after the study concluded. The company notes this was not a scientific study and individual results will vary.
Safety and Manufacturing
NMN is a naturally occurring compound found in small amounts in foods such as broccoli, edamame, and avocado. Multiple human clinical trials have evaluated NMN supplementation and reported no significant adverse effects. Elevate NAD+ is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility in the United States, and the finished product undergoes independent third-party quality testing before shipping. Every order is backed by a 90-day money-back guarantee.
