What is all the buzz about NAD⁺ and NMN?

NAD⁺ and NMN are now available in many forms—powders, drinks, tablets, IV infusions and skin boosters.

The easiest way to understand them is this: NAD⁺ is the taxi, and electrons are the passengers. NAD⁺ picks up electrons and carries them to the electron transport chain inside the mitochondria, where ATP—our cellular energy currency—is produced.

NMN is one of the raw materials the body uses to make NAD⁺. Normally, NAD⁺ is continuously recycled and produced within the body. However, inflammaging, infection, smoking, sun exposure and oxidative stress may increase its consumption and reduce the available cellular NAD⁺ pool.

The same concept may apply to the skin. When a formulation specifically designed for intradermal use is placed within the dermis, it is delivered close to fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen. Emerging evidence suggests that supporting NAD⁺ metabolism may help cellular stress responses, sirtuin pathways, inflammation control and collagen maintenance.

An NAD⁺–NMN skin booster may be considered for:

• Dull, tired or stressed skin
• Early ageing and superficial crinkling
• Dryness and reduced elasticity
• Photodamaged or uneven-looking skin
• Smokers and people with frequent outdoor exposure
• Those seeking a skin-quality booster without adding facial volume

This is not a filler and does not overfill the face. Depending on the skin assessment and formulation, a dermatologist may recommend around 2–3 sessions, approximately 15–20 days apart. Results vary, but may include improved hydration, smoother texture, better elasticity, reduced superficial wrinkling and a fresher overall appearance.

Only sterile, certified products specifically intended for intradermal injection should be used. IV NAD formulations must not be injected into the skin, as their concentration, pH and excipients may be different.

To know whether an NAD⁺–NMN skin booster is suitable for your skin, consult our chief dermatologist at BUVIIS DERMAGICALZ today. #ｎｍｎ

Check till the last slide! Will post actual pics of these exciting pimple patches! There are so pretty - that pimple ain’t gonna stress you anymore ! There are cute pink hearts, different characters and cool smilies ! You will just love it. It’s mainly to avoid picking the pimple and hence it reduces chances of pigmentation and secondary infection. It’s not a treatment for acne but definitely helps with the ‘stress- picking’ part!!

Somewhere in the modern protein conversation, vegetarian food started getting unfairly judged.

Yes, meat and non-vegetarian foods can be good sources of protein — no doubt. But saying vegetarian food “lacks protein” or that vegetarians are somehow weaker or less capable is just too much. I completely disagree.

A well-planned vegetarian diet can absolutely provide good, clean, balanced protein through options like paneer, tofu, Greek yogurt, chickpeas, rajma, moong, dals, pulses, sprouts and more.

The key is not just what you eat, but how you combine it, how consistently you include protein, and whether your total diet supports your energy balance.

Vegetarian protein is not boring.
Vegetarian protein is not weak.
Vegetarian protein just needs smart planning. 🌱💪🐰
