Why Men Should Ditch The Evening Tipple For Rooibos
Rooibos Tea-Drinkers Less Likely To Suffer From Heart Disease
NAD and Green Rooibos – 30 Hardgel Capsules
A World First: NAD and Rooibos.
Have you ever wished there was a way you could feel younger, or to slow down your ageing process? Now you don’t have to wish for your time machine or wish your next birthday could be skipped – scientists may have discovered a way for you to age healthier.
The key to healthier ageing lies in an extraordinary naturally occurring coenzyme, or helper molecule, called Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD.
What is NAD
NAD is an essential coenzyme that is found in every living cell in our body.
- It ensures that our cells function effectively
- It is a crucial element for the reactions in your cells that keep you alive
- It plays a vital role in energy metabolism and maintaining proper cell functioning – particularly the functioning of our mitochondria, the power plants in our cells that turn our food and oxygen into energy
To understand what NAD does, think of it as a waiter that picks up an electron from one table and drops it off at another. The simple act of shuffling electrons around helps your enzymes work, and those enzymes activate microscopic chemical reactions in your cells that keep them healthy and keep your whole body working.
Why is NAD so important?
Our cellular health depends on NAD. Without it, cells cannot function. It is an essential coenzyme to the human brain, blood and muscle health. It is also responsible for many cellular functions in our body and also contributes to greater longevity.
Some of these functions are:
- Helps cells to produce energy from the food we consume daily
- Protects the brain and cells from damaging oxidative stress, that can lead to cognitive decline
- Helps maintain healthy circadian rhythms (sleep/wake cycle)
Our bodies produce NAD but ageing and stress causes the NAD levels to decline. Lower levels of NAD are also associated health challenges like:
- Cellular ageing
- Metabolic dysfunctions
- Chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease and Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Why combine NAD with Green Rooibos extract?
Among other benefits Green Rooibos is high in antioxidants. Antioxidants have become well known for its benefits of free radical scavenging and the ability to help protect cells. Because of these benefits Annique combined these two amazing longevity boosting ingredients resulting in a combination product that has never been seen before.
NAD with Green Rooibos extract is a first in South Africa as well as in the world. There are NAD products available locally and internationally, but never before has a combination of these two power ingredients been made.
| Benefit | How does NAD help? | What happens when NAD levels are low? |
| Helps support your circadian rhythm |
The circadian rhythm determines your sleep-wake and hunger cycles. NAD plays an important part in our circadian rhythm, because it influences the body’s cycles, which regulate other physiological processes like metabolism, body temperature, digestion, hormone release and our cells’ ability to communicate with other cells. NAD plays an important role in the communication link between our circadian rhythm and cell’s mitochondria. Mitochondria are the power plants in cells and are responsible for converting food into energy. |
Long periods of disruption of the circadian rhythm (your sleep-wake and hunger cycles) lead to degenerative diseases. (For example, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Osteoporosis. |
| Assist with metabolic health | NAD and the link with circadian rhythm are also important to maintain metabolic health. If our circadian rhythm is out of sync then the body will not regulate appetite as it should. It also affects when and how we burn energy for exercise and how glucose is transferred in our blood cells. | Not looking after your metabolic health could lead to metabolic disorders like diabetes. |
| Help protect the brain | NAD has shown to help improve memory loss. The human brain contains 1 billion cells and can perform 38 thousand-trillion operations per second. That much computational power requires a massive amount of energy. As we already know, energy comes from mitochondria. The brain needs well-functioning mitochondria in order to work properly. | Low NAD levels can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, which is associated with varying levels of cognitive decline from simple “brain fog” to diseases such as memory loss, concentration challenges, and even Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease |
| Assist with heart health |
NAD levels have also been linked to the way in which our vascular system ages. NAD can benefit the functioning of our cardiovascular systems and assist with a reduction of inflammation. NAD has also shown that it can assist with:
|
If your vascular system is not kept healthy you could be at risk of a heart attack or other cardiovascular disorders and diseases. |
| Maintains healthy DNA |
DNA repair is the most important factor for cell survival and cancer prevention. NAD also activates sirtuins, which are responsible for the regulation of biological pathways, turn genes on and off and protect against age related decline. |
Unhealthy DNA leads to cell dysfunction and cell death |
Please note
NAD is not recommended if you have cancer. If you are in remission, you can drink NAD for 3 months, leave it for three months, and drink it again for 3 months. NOT recommended for children under the age of 18.

OptiMega: For heart and brain support—30 Capsules
OptiMega can help to boost your intelligence, mood, and memory. The brain consists of about 60% fat. The modern diet is highly deficient in omega 3 and therefore this crucial nutrient needs to be supplemented daily.
It contains omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) to support the two most critical organs in the body, the heart, and the brain.
Although our bodies can produce some omega 3 fatty acids, we still need the large majority from our diets. Modern diets unfortunately do not contain nearly enough omega 3 oils for optimum health This is why supplementing with an omega 3 oil is both essential and beneficial.
Omega 3 is made up of essential fatty acids called DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Both DHA and EPA are beneficial, and you need both of these fatty acids in your diet to address different aspects of health.
DHA helps look after quite a few things in our body, including:
- the structure of our skin and retinas
- crucial for our brain function, heart health and may also help ailments such as arthritis, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.
EPA benefits
- Maintains a healthy heart and cardiovascular system
- Reduces the risk of blood clots
- Help reduce neuro-inflammation (depression, ADHD, brain trauma)
- Useful in the mental development of children
- It may be useful for burning excess fat before it gets stored
- Helps joint health
Probiotics in OptiFlora is the nucleus of your supplementation program, followed closely by three critical supplements that form the Baseline Nutrition of Forever Healthy to support, improve and maintain optimum health: a multivitamin (OptiVite), omega 3 essential oils (OptiMega), and necessary minerals calcium and magnesium (OptiCalMag).
Adults:
- 1 – 2 capsules per day, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner
- Time of day: PM
For children:
- From the age of 3 years, 1 capsule per day
Tip: empty one OptiMega capsule into a prepared Annique Lifestyle Shake to boost their Omega 3 oil intake that is vital for body and brain development

OptiCalMag: For bone, heart and arterial system support – 60 Capsules
Most people know calcium and magnesium help build strong teeth and bones, but they also play a crucial role in muscle and blood vessel function, the functioning of the nervous system and helping the heart muscle to function properly.
Annique Forever Healthy OptiCalMag is much more than just building better bones. Calcium is one of the most important minerals in the body, and it is also the most abundant.
Because calcium is so important, the body will do everything in its power to obtain it. If you are not getting enough calcium from your diet, the body will extract it from your teeth and bones.
The body’s ability to absorb calcium also declines as we age. This means our bones begin to weaken, which could lead to osteoporosis. This is why supplementation becomes even more critical – especially for women. It is also critical to understand acidity, when taking calcium supplements.
There are different forms of calcium and magnesium used in supplements, of which the quality and body’s ability to absorb these vary dramatically. It is important to look for a quality calcium supplement that is more bioavailable, rather than for quantity of calcium contained.
Annique Forever Healthy OptiCalMag contains calcium citrate for better absorption and is further enhanced with vitamin E, vitamin D3 and Green Rooibos extract.
Calcium and magnesium are also important for the health of your heart and arteries. Magnesium relaxes your muscles and calcium contracts muscles.
Important Note
NOT recommended for children.
Directions for use:
- Take 2 – 4 capsules per day for women and 1 capsule per day for men, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner
- Time of day: PM
- Vitamin D3
- Vitamin E
