Longevity Protocol

NAD⁺ alone

Spermidine alone

Supports cellular energy (mitochondrial function)

Supports cellular renewal (autophagy induction)

Powers SIRT1 to remove the acetyl brake on autophagy

Blocks EP300 from adding the acetyl brake

Covers both ends of the acetylation switch

Pillar One — N-Core 500: the science behind NAD⁺

NAD⁺ is the coenzyme at the centre of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Levels decline with age. N-Core 500 delivers 500 mg of high-purity NAD⁺ per cartridge — 10 micro-doses of 50 mg.

Cellular Energy: Boost ATP production at the source

NAD⁺ is essential for mitochondrial energy metabolism. Supplementation restores depleted NAD⁺ levels, enhancing mitochondrial function and cellular energy output.

DNA Repair: Support genome integrity & longevity

NAD⁺ activates PARP enzymes and sirtuins, key players in cellular repair and healthy aging.

Cognitive Function: Protect memory and brain resilience

NAD⁺ levels are linked to neuronal health, synaptic plasticity and neuroprotection. Supplementation has shown improvements in cognition and memory retention.

Cardiovascular Health: Support vascular flexibility and function

NAD⁺ improves endothelial function and increases nitric oxide bioavailability, contributing to better blood flow and heart health.

Pillar Two — S-Core 200: the science behind spermidine

Spermidine is a natural polyamine central to autophagy — the body’s cellular recycling and renewal system. S-Core 200 delivers 200 mg of high-concentration spermidine per cartridge — a daily micro-dose of 8–9.6 mg (10–12 pen units), roughly 20–25 doses.

Cellular Renewal: Activate autophagy, your cells’ clean-up system

Spermidine is one of the most-studied natural inducers of autophagy — the process cells use to recycle and renew damaged components — and extended lifespan across multiple organisms in landmark research.

Cardiovascular Health: Support heart function and healthy blood pressure

Spermidine supplementation enhanced cardiac autophagy and mitochondrial function, and higher dietary intake is associated with lower blood pressure and reduced cardiovascular risk in humans.

Cognitive Function: Support memory and brain resilience

In a randomized controlled trial, spermidine supplementation was associated with improved memory performance in older adults at risk for dementia.

Healthy Aging & Longevity: Linked to a longer, healthier life

Across a 20-year population study, spermidine showed the strongest inverse association with mortality of 146 nutrients analysed — comparable to being about 5.7 years younger.

Why both: two pillars, one switch

All claims below are based on peer-reviewed research. The Longevity Protocol combines NAD⁺ and spermidine — two compounds that support cellular energy and cellular renewal through distinct but converging biological pathways.

One Switch, Two Keys: how cellular renewal is turned on

Autophagy is controlled by the acetylation state of its core proteins. Spermidine and sirtuin-dependent compounds induce autophagy through distinct pathways that converge on the acetylproteome — different entry points to the same switch.

NAD⁺ Powers the Eraser

SIRT1 forms a complex with the core autophagy proteins ATG5, ATG7 and ATG8 and deacetylates them in an NAD⁺-dependent fashion. Without NAD⁺, this arm of the switch cannot operate.
Read study

Spermidine Blocks the Writer

EP300 is the acetyltransferase that adds the acetyl groups keeping autophagy off — acetylating ATG5, ATG7, ATG12 and LC3. Spermidine acts as a competitive inhibitor of EP300, releasing that brake.
Read study

Renewal Runs on Energy

Spermidine's cardioprotective and lifespan effects depend on autophagy — they disappear in animals lacking the autophagy protein Atg5. Renewal is an active, energy-requiring process, not a passive one.
Read study

Energy at the Source

NAD⁺ is essential to mitochondrial energy metabolism. Restoring depleted NAD⁺ enhances mitochondrial function and cellular energy output — the fuel every maintenance process draws on.

Two Caloric-Restriction Mimetics, One Protocol

Spermidine is described as a natural autophagy inducer reproducing many healthful effects of caloric restriction. Paired with NAD⁺, the protocol addresses two distinct hallmarks of aging — energy decline and loss of proteostasis.

FAQ

It combines the two pillars of the Longevity Pen® platform: N-Core 500 (NAD⁺) for cellular energy and S-Core 200 (spermidine) for cellular renewal — delivered as daily micro-doses from a single reusable pen.

They support different biological systems that depend on each other. NAD⁺ underpins the energy your cells run on; spermidine supports the maintenance and recycling systems that keep cells in good working order. In published research the two act on opposite ends of the same molecular switch that controls autophagy — spermidine blocks the enzyme that switches it off, while NAD⁺ powers the enzyme that switches it on.

Each compound is independently supported by peer-reviewed research. The rationale for combining them is mechanistic and based on published biology — we do not claim a proven combined effect. We'd encourage you to read the studies linked above and speak with a healthcare professional.

Yes. The Longevity Pen® is reusable, and both N-Core 500 and S-Core 200 cartridges are engineered for it. Swap cartridges as your protocol requires.

They run in parallel and can be taken on the same day — simply swap the cartridge in your pen. S-Core 200 (spermidine) is a daily shot at 10–12 pen units (8 mg – 9.6 mg) for 20 days, then 10 days off. N-Core 500 (NAD⁺) is one 50 mg shot every second or third day. Always consult your doctor to determine the exact dosage that is right for your body.

Yes. Store both in the provided case with the included ice pack, or in the refrigerator when not in use. Do not freeze.

Yes, the Longevity Pen® is compact and portable. It comes with a travel-friendly case and ice pack. However, check airline regulations for devices with injectable components.

The Two Pillars of Cellular Longevity

Healthy aging isn't driven by a single pathway. Cells need energy to function — and they need maintenance to stay functional. The Longevity Protocol is built around both. N-Core 500 delivers NAD⁺, the coenzyme at the centre of mitochondrial energy metabolism. S-Core 200 delivers high-concentration spermidine, one of the most actively studied compounds in autophagy and cellular renewal research.

Why the two belong together: the enzymes that switch autophagy on and off work by adding and removing acetyl groups from its core proteins. Spermidine inhibits the enzyme that adds them. NAD⁺ fuels the enzyme that removes them. One compound releases the brake; the other powers the engine.

  • N-Core 500 — the energy pillar
  • S-Core 200 — the renewal pillar
  • One reusable pen, one daily routine

One Pen. Two Cartridges. One Daily Practice.

The protocol is designed around consistency rather than intensity. Cellular energy production and cellular maintenance are continuous processes, running every hour of every day — which is why the platform is built for daily micro-dosing rather than occasional high doses.

One reusable Longevity Pen®. Two precision cartridges. A single routine that takes under a minute — engineered in Europe to GMP-grade pharmaceutical standards, and designed to fit a long-term longevity strategy rather than a short-term fix.

Two pillars. One protocol. One purpose.
