New Product Line Supports Cellular Energy and Mitochondrial Health, and Helps Protect Cells through Clinically Studied Ingredients

HOBOKEN, N.J., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Solgar®, a Nestlé Health Science brand and a leader in scientifically-backed vitamin and nutritional supplements for more than 70 years, today unveiled its Solgar® Cellular Nutrition line of dietary supplements developed to help fight cellular decline and promote cell health. Solgar Cellular Nutrition’s products – Energy, Strength & Renewal, and Protect – target cellular decline through clinically studied ingredients, including Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), Urolithin A (UA) as well as Glycine & N-Acetyl Cysteine (GlyNAC). These products are available online through Solgar Cellular Nutrition at www.solgar.com/cellular-nutrition.  

“Scientific breakthroughs have led to the discovery of a time-dependent decline of several cellular mechanisms, which typically begins in our 40s and accelerates in our 60s,” said Rania Abou Samra, Global Head of Technology and Development, Nestlé Health Science. “These scientific advances along with new cellular nutrition research led us to develop our new line of Solgar Cellular Nutrition products. These products – Energy, Strength & Renewal, and Protect – feature nutrients that work with the body’s natural processes deep inside cells to help fight sources of cellular decline and promote overall cell health. Now is the time to give your body the nutrients it needs to optimize cellular health for the years to come.”

Solgar Cellular Nutrition Products

Cellular Energy supports cell energy, repair, and vitality with its key ingredient, NIAGEN® Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), a precursor to Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD). A randomized controlled trial (RCT) published in Scientific Reports showed the effect of NR on increasing NAD levels within two weeks.¹ NAD, a coenzyme found in all living cells, is key in supporting cell metabolism to convert nutrients into energy.

Cellular Strength & Renewal supports muscle strength and mitochondrial health through Mitopure® Urolithin A (UA). In a 2022 RCT published in JAMA Network Open, researchers found that UA supplementation among older adults resulted in significant improvements in muscle endurance for hand and leg skeletal muscles compared to placebo, and improvement in biomarkers of mitochondrial health.²

In a separate clinical trial published in Cell Reports Medicine, UA supplementation in middle-aged adults resulted in significant improvements in hamstring muscle strength and exercise performance compared to the placebo group.³

Cellular Protect helps protect cells from oxidative stress through Solgar’s patented blend of Glycine and N-Acetyl Cysteine (GlyNAC). In a 2023 RCT, researchers found that GlyNAC is effective at reducing oxidative stress and easing other aging hallmarks, including supporting healthy mitochondrial function.⁴

“Our Solgar Cellular Nutrition launch is an example of how passion, science, and innovation collide to create truly remarkable products,” commented Aileen Stocks, President VMHS, Nestlé Health Science. “Solgar has always been in pursuit of bold innovations, and I’m proud to see the brand introduce a holistic line of products that go cell deep to nourish the body for longevity.”
