Three names come up again and again in longevity and recovery conversations: sermorelin, NAD+, and glutathione. Here's a plain-language guide to what each one is. This is education, not medical advice — any treatment is provider-determined.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a peptide that stimulates the body's own release of growth hormone. It's commonly explored within recovery-, sleep-, and vitality-focused routines under provider review. Some people report deeper sleep and easier recovery; experiences vary.
NAD+
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell, involved in energy metabolism and cellular repair. It's studied in the context of energy and healthy aging. Some people report steadier daytime energy and mental clarity.
Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant the body produces naturally, made of three amino acids. It plays a role in neutralizing free radicals and is often discussed for skin appearance and antioxidant support. Some people report a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
How they fit together
People often explore these as part of a broader, provider-reviewed plan rather than in isolation. Lab testing helps a provider personalize what — if anything — is appropriate for you.
Frequently asked questions
Do these replace a healthy lifestyle?
No. They're explored alongside sleep, nutrition, and movement, not instead of them.
How do I know what's right for me?
Start with a health intake and, ideally, labs. A licensed provider determines what's appropriate.
