Why does NAD⁺ matter more after 40?

By midlife, NAD⁺ in several tissues is lower, partly because NAD-consuming enzymes such as CD38 rise with age; this is linked to weaker mitochondrial function and vascular aging. Raising NAD⁺ with nicotinamide riboside (NR) has already been shown to increase NAD⁺ in middle-aged/older people and to improve aortic stiffness and systolic blood pressure — exactly the stuff that starts to drift after 40. [1] [2]

So the logic is:

Problem: 40+ → ↓NAD⁺ → ↓mitochondrial output, ↑inflammation, ↑arterial stiffness.
Strategy: Give an NAD⁺ precursor with human data (NR), then protect/support with flavonoids and absorption helpers so the gain is sustained. [3] [4]

What does the 500 mg nicotinamide riboside actually do?

Human studies that saw the clearest vascular wins often used 1,000 mg/day NR in older adults and still called it safe, but 500 mg/day is in range to raise the NAD metabolome and point blood pressure and pulse-wave velocity in the right direction. Fmlave sits right on that 500 mg mark. Think of it as “most of the effect” rather than “maximal effect.” [1] [2] [11]

Do the add-ons really support the core?

Yes — but evidence depth isn’t uniform. NR is the high-confidence center; the others tighten inflammation, absorption, or energy so that the 40+ user actually feels something.

Ingredient-by-ingredient overview

Ingredient (2 caps)	Main purpose	Evidence snapshot	Relevance for 40+
NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Riboside H. Malate) 500 mg	Raise NAD⁺, support mitochondria, improve vascular function	NR 500–1,000 mg/day ↑NAD⁺ and lowered SBP / carotid–femoral PWV in middle-aged & older adults. [1] [2]	Core driver; dose is conservative but in human range.
Vitamin D₃ 2,000 IU	Fill common insufficiency; immune & bone support	2,000 IU/day is a widely used maintenance/healthy-aging dose band in older adults. [12]	Practical add-on; not the “NAD” piece but good at 40+.
Quercetin Phytosome 250 mg	Anti-inflammatory, immune, senomorphic; better absorption vs plain quercetin	Phytosome quercetin 500 mg/day in adults around 49 yrs improved inflammatory/immune markers; phytosome is 5–20× better absorbed. [3] [5] [6]	Good “inflammaging” brake; daily dose is half of some trials but still meaningful.
Resveratrol 150 mg	SIRT1/AMPK support, endothelial & metabolic protection	Most human vascular/metabolic trials used 250–500 mg/day; lower doses still pair well with piperine. [15] [16]	Supportive, especially since piperine is present.
Shilajit 150 mg (30:1)	Mitochondrial efficiency, anti-fatigue, adaptogenic	200–500 mg/day standardized shilajit improved mitochondrial markers and fatigue in adults. [7]	Pairs neatly with NR to make “more NAD” → “more usable energy.”
Fisetin 150 mg	Senotherapeutic / anti-inflammatory	Fisetin is a top senolytic in preclinical work; human trials are using higher, often intermittent doses (e.g. NCT03675724; NCT06431932). At 150 mg/day this is “senescence-aware,” not full senolysis. [8] [9] [10]	Good daily background; manage expectations.
Grape Seed 100 mg; Rose Hips 100 mg; Turmeric 50 mg; Green Tea 20 mg; Acai 25 mg	Polyphenol cluster for antioxidant & vascular/joint support	Each has human data for inflammation or endothelial support; together they form a “cool the background noise” layer.	Useful for “I’m 45 and sore/busy/inflamed” scenarios.
Black Pepper Extract 5 mg	Increase bioavailability of curcumin, resveratrol, and other polyphenols	Piperine raised curcumin bioavailability by up to 2,000% in humans at 20 mg; even 5–10 mg is used in commercial complexes. [13] [14] [16]	Smart “glue” for an otherwise light polyphenol stack.

So what benefits actually stack up for 40+?

Most solidly supported by human data

Higher NAD⁺ / better vascular tone: NR studies in midlife/older adults showed lower SBP and pulse-wave velocity — helpful for age-related arterial stiffening. [1] [2]
Better polyphenol uptake: piperine keeps the lighter resveratrol/turmeric doses relevant. [13] [14]
Daily inflammation control: quercetin phytosome plus grape seed/turmeric gives a low-grade NF-κB/TNF-α brake, which is exactly what 40+ needs to stop “small” inflammation from multiplying. [3] [5] [17]

Helpful but lighter / supportive

150 mg resveratrol is below many trial doses but made more useful by piperine.
150 mg shilajit is in human range and makes the “I feel it” part more likely.

Experimental / not at clinical senolytic dose

150 mg fisetin daily ≠ the intermittent gram-level senolytic protocols (often paired with dasatinib or high quercetin). Good inclusion, needs honest framing. [10]

Will someone over 40 actually feel it?

Energy / fatigue: NR restores a substrate; shilajit supports mitochondrial efficiency; together they are the most “felt” pair. [7]
Cardiometabolic aging: if someone is sitting at “elevated” or stage-1 BP, the NR data suggest they’re likelier to see a change than someone already optimal. [1] [2]
Inflammaging / recovery: the quercetin–turmeric–grape-seed layer, made absorbable by piperine, is exactly how several 2022–2025 reviews say to approach age-related inflammation. [5] [6] [17]
Cellular aging: we have human proof-of-concept that senolytics can reduce senescent cells (dasatinib + quercetin) [10], and ongoing fisetin trials in older adults [8] [9], but this capsule uses a daily, smaller fisetin dose, so results will be subtler.

How does this compare with what trials actually used?

Component	Typical trial / review dose	Fmlave NAD+ dose	What to expect
NR	1,000 mg/day in older adults for 6–12 weeks [1]	500 mg/day	Likely ↑NAD⁺, vascular benefit still plausible, just smaller.
Quercetin phytosome	500 mg/day, often in 2 doses, sometimes with vit. C/bromelain [3]	250 mg/day	Daily anti-inflammatory/immune support tier.
Resveratrol	250–500 mg/day for vascular / metabolic endpoints [15]	150 mg/day	Supportive, but piperine helps.
Fisetin (senolytic)	High, pulsed dosing or combo (D+Q) in human pilots [10]	150 mg/day	More “longevity-aware polyphenol” than “full senolysis.”

Any obvious gaps?

No dedicated CD38 inhibitor → we’re increasing NAD⁺ supply, not cutting NAD⁺ consumption.
Polyphenol layer is broad but not always at the strongest human dose → serious joint/metabolic use might still want standalone curcumin or higher resveratrol.
All claims assume the user takes the full 2-capsule serving.

Bottom line: For a 40+ user who wants to nudge NAD⁺ upward, get vascular/energy insurance, and keep inflammation from creeping, this is a coherent, daily, low-friction stack. Just don’t market the fisetin part as a therapeutic senolytic cycle.
