Ep 298: Turboloading the Egg: Supplemental NAD+ for Egg Quality

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. Featuring Mark Ratner, Scientific Director of Theralogix. In this deep dive into fertility supplements, Mark Ratner helps us decode the science behind NAD and its exciting role in longevity and reproductive health. NAD itself can’t be taken directly—it must be boosted through precursors, which then power SIRTs, a family of seven proteins that regulate cellular health, mitochondrial function, and even egg longevity. Among them, SIRT1 is particularly important for egg rescue and extending reproductive potential. Mark explains how these pathways differ from the effects of coenzyme Q10, yet still play a key role in energy production within the mitochondria. We also explore the latest research on Ovasitol, an inositol supplement important for PCOS management. The new formulation, which includes added milk proteins, may enhance absorption and overall effectiveness. Finally, Mark introduces OvaNAD+, a newly available Theralogix supplement that delivers the right NAD precursor to support SIRT activation, energy production, and reproductive health.
