Herbs: Luteolin

A flavonoid found in herbs such as parsley. The special feature of the ac- tive substance is that it can inhibit the activity of the CD38 enzyme. This enzyme plays an important role in NAD metabolism.
A higher NAD level is associated with improved cell function and therefore a possible deceleration of the ageing process. This means luteolin can help to maintain NAD levels and prevent age-related diseases.
