There’s a new wave of ‘biohacking’ rooting in the modern science world. Some now want to improve their genes, DNA, chip their brains and opt for personalised medicines to make them healthier, more productive and happier. While this may sound a tad terrifying, it is becoming a trend, and expert biohackers are leveraging science and technology to come up with unconventional anti-aging products for longevity and younger looking people.
Nuchido: science for reverse aging
UK-based biotech startup Nuchido is led by co-founder Dr. Nichola Conlon, who calls herself a ‘futurist.’ Their team of eight people has developed supplements that target one of the key molecules regulating ageing. Conlon says, “Nuchido was founded back in 2017 with a mission to translate complex science into products that can offer maximum healthspan and optimal life experience. Over here, healthspan means the number of years that you’ll live in good health, as opposed to lifespan, which is just the ultimate number of years you live, regardless of whether you’re spending the last 10-20 years in poor health.”
Industry worth over £1.8 trillion
Based out of Newcastle, the company currently offers Nuchido TIME+ supplements, which helps maximise Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) production in our bodies. NAD+ is stated to play a key role in carrying out many critical biological processes, from converting nutrients into energy to helping keep our cells in good working order. However, its levels decrease as we age since the enzymes that create NAD+ wear out, so our cells lose the ability to make the levels they need. ...
