Gundry MD unveils Elevate NAD+ supplement with stabilized NMN for absorption and longevity

Gundry MD has launched Elevate NAD+, a healthy aging supplement harnessing its novel patent-pending beadlet delivery system that stabilizes NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide). Offered in two different blends, the company claims this “first of its kind” formula meaningfully raises the body’s NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels, which it highlights as one of the most significant and overlooked drivers of aging.

Each capsule of Elevate NAD+ contains NMN sealed inside acid-resistant enteric-coated beadlets that keep it stable from production through digestion. This mechanism ensures it reaches the gut intact and converts to NAD+ as intended.

Founded by cardiothoracic surgeon and longevity researcher Dr. Steven Gundry, the brand aims to solve two of the biggest problems with NMN supplementation: stability and absorption.

“After decades of research and countless iterations, the science finally caught up with my vision,” says Gundry. “I’ve been fascinated by NAD-supporting supplements for about 25 years now, and I’ve watched the evolution of these supplements and how to support NAD — and Gundry MD Elevate NAD+ represents everything I’ve learned along the way.”

Next to NMN, the formula includes seven ingredients to further drive NAD+ production. 

Overcoming bioavailability challenges

Being a direct precursor to NAD+, NMN is gaining momentum in the healthy aging scientific field, notes the company. Gundry MD cites human clinical trials to raise NAD+ levels by up to 50–100%, highlighting its performance as the cellular fuel responsible for energy production, DNA repair, and tissue regeneration.

The brand underscores that NMN is fragile and degrades within weeks under normal conditions, a common challenge among supplements with this ingredient. Moreover, it notes that what survives shelf life could be destroyed by stomach acid before it reaches the gut.

TAs consumer focus on health span continues to propel the conversation around NAD+ for longevity, research has gathered pace.he Elevate NAD+ formula is offered in two specialized blends of additional functional ingredients. The NAD+ Support Blend pairs NMN with nicotinamide riboside tartrate, a second NAD+ precursor that works alongside NMN to further support NAD+ production.

“Emerging research shows this ingredient can improve gut microbiome health while reducing bloating, digestive discomfort, and irregularity,” the brand details.

The blend also contains liposomal quercetin, a flavonoid studied for its role in supporting healthy cellular function and inflammation balance.

Moreover, the wasabi root (Wasabia japonica) extract in the formula contains isothiocyanates studied for their role in activating the body’s natural cellular defense pathways, supporting a healthy inflammation response, and promoting healthy brain function.

Adaptogenic Longevity Blend

The second Adaptogenic Longevity Blend adds liposomal ashwagandha (branded NooGandha), which Gundry MD notes is a clinically studied, liposomal form of ashwagandha optimized for cognitive support. The brand says this ingredient has been shown to help improve memory, focus, processing speed, and stress resilience.

The formula also features anti-inflammatory anthocyanins from tart cherry extract and a standardized Scandinavian cherry extract NordicCherry. These support joint comfort and promote healthy recovery from aging’s impact on cellular health, highlights Gundry MD.

In addition, the product contains ergothioneine from mushrooms, branded ErgoActive. The amino acid is found in mushrooms and cannot be produced in the body.

The blend also features holy basil leaf (Ocimum tenuiflorum) extract, an adaptogenic herb linked to reductions in cortisol and improvements in cognitive function and memory. Gundry MD notes the extract may help support healthy glucose levels that are within the normal range and has a calming effect on the nervous system.

NAD+ in the longevity spotlight

As consumer focus on health span continues to propel the conversation around NAD+ for longevity, research has gathered pace. For instance, Nestlé-led clinical research demonstrates that NAD+ booster supplements promote health in “unexpected” areas of gut health by enhancing beneficial bacteria in the digestive system.

Research testing NAD+ supplements in healthy people note that these may offer genuine benefits across broad areas. However, other research has cautioned that popular NAD+ precursor supplements might be doing more harm than good for certain demographics, such as cancer patients. Scientists warn that these vitamin B3 derivatives could be helping cancer cells survive treatment by suppressing DNA damage and cell death, which chemotherapy depends on to work.
