W. Todd Penberthy, PhD (biochemistry)

 

I am a continuing medical education writer and researcher developing courses describing the latest approaches for physicians, attending medical conferences, and reporting on translational medicine discoveries. 

 

My expertise includes focus on all things Vitamin B3 => NAD, particularly  the vitamin B3 isomer niacin (&  related vitamin B3s), which is uniquely the best in my opinion given the 2nd, non-vitamin flush pathway that has its own distinctive benefits as the gold standard for correcting lipodystrophy (elevated triglycerides, low HDL, high VLDL, high Lp(a), and cholesterol), but there is so much more. 

 

 

Restoring Gene Function Medicine

 

One of the pinnacles of biomedical science has been the identification of the essential molecules (vitamins and certain minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids) and the >20,000 genes with the biochemistry, which at the end of the day defines the chemical activities, of how this is done 

 

Today we have all of the genes, sequences, and binding domains that require said vitamins/minerals/nutrients for life to exist and persist as determined from basic cell culture experiments that determined which nutrients are required for cellular life. 

 

As one gets older, you cannot absorb these things as well, and you may need more if you are battling infections, toxins, and/or uncontrolled growths, but fortunately one can restore gene function you can knock all these things down or eliminate these things, but you must know. 

  

Safety first and these essential molecules literally preserve life itself daily.

 

Therapeutic areas:

  • Cardiovascular disease / lipids / cholesterol / event risk 
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Diabetes 
  • Cancer
  • Neurological disease
