Frequently Asked Questions

A new range of supplements and nutritional beverages formulated with targeted cellular nutrients to help fight key sources of age‐associated cellular decline and promote cell health. As we age, so do our cells. Solgar® is designed to go deeper with targeted nutrients to help transform how cells perform with age. Traditional micro and macronutrients meet basic nutritional needs. However, they are generally not enough to combat the declines of cells' natural processes. Solgar® is:

-Backed by Science

-Precisely formulated to address 3 major sources of cell aging

-Made to work in harmony with the body's natural processes

-Contains cellular nutrients that go to work deep inside cells to help renew and restore cells' natural processes

Solgar® works with your body’s natural processes to promote cell health, cell by cell to revitalize and renew your cells’ natural processes. The product range features cellular nutrients that help replenish NAD+ important for natural energy production, renew the power plants in muscle cells and replenish essential building blocks for the protective antioxidant Glutathione.

The cellular nutrients provided by Solgar® become available to your cells shortly after taking the products. In clinical trials, changes in markers of cellular health and function were observed over periods of weeks or several months. As with any nutritional product, your experience will vary depending on factors like your age, diet, exercise habits, and overall health. In clinical studies, the ingredients in Solgar® were taken daily to see a benefit. Based on this, we recommend that you take Solgar® every day.

Currently, there are no studies suggesting that there is a preferential time of day to take the product. It may be helpful to take Solgar® products at the same time every day as part of your daily routine.

Lifestyle habits—such as regular exercise and physical activity—promote better function of your body and your cells, which can help combat the effects of Age‐Associated Cellular Decline. Consuming a balanced diet is also important to help meet the basic nutritional needs of your cells and your body. However, traditional macro and micronutrients may not be enough to address the declines in cellular processes observed with AACD. Cellular nutrients have been shown to influence the pathways that decline with age and go to work deep inside cells to help renew and restore natural cell processes.

Traditional micro and macronutrients naturally found in foods help to meet basic nutritional needs. Cellular Nutrients may be available or derived from food sources yet are likely to be consumed in suboptimal amounts from a usual diet. For example:

‐ NAC is not found in foods. Cellular levels of Glycine and Cysteine have been shown to be reduced with age and increased exposure to oxidative stress.

‐ NR is a unique form of niacin (vitamin B3) naturally found in trace amounts in milk, but is not widely found in other common sources of B vitamins.

‐ UA is a metabolite formed by gut bacteria when we eat foods containing compounds called ellagitannins – a type of polyphenol found in plants like pomegranates, berries, and nuts. However, even if you eat these foods, only 1 in 3 people have the gut bacteria needed to efficiently transform ellagitannins into UA

The cellular nutrients, GlyNAC, UA and NR, in Solgar® products have been studied in clinical trials. In these studies, the nutrients are taken daily over a period of weeks to several months. Based on this, we recommend that you take Solgar® every day.

GlyNAC (Glycine + N‐acetyl cysteine), found in Solgar® Cellular Protect, provides building blocks to help cells make the antioxidant glutathione in response to cellular needs. Clinical studies have shown that these two amino acids are less available in our cells as we age. Supplementation with Glycine and NAC can help replenish these important amino acid precursors for glutathione production.

Urolithin A (UA), found in Solgar® Cellular Strength, was evaluated in a randomized, doubleblind, placebo‐controlled trial in healthy older adults. Daily supplementation with UA for 4 weeks improved markers of mitochondrial function and increased markers of mitophagy in skeletal muscle. A second clinical trial with UA was recently completed, and showed improved hamstring muscle strength in healthy, overweight adults consming UA daily for 4 months.

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), found in Solgar® Cellular Energy, has been studied in numerous clinical trials, resulting in 11 published studies. NR is clinically shown to increase NAD+ levels in as soon as 2 weeks, and these levels are sustained with continued daily intake of NR.
