5-deazaflavin is a chemical substance that belongs to the class of isoflavones, also known as 5-deoxyflavones. Desmodium Styracifolium (Desmodium Styracifolium) is the root, leaf and stem extract of the leguminous plant Cardamom (Desmodium gyrans DC.), which is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine. Deazoflavin contains a variety of nutrients, such as flavonoids, triterpenoids, etc., and is widely used in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
5-deazaflavin is considered to have anti-aging potential because it is an important component in the NAD+ biosynthetic pathway. NAD+ plays an important role in cells, including regulating metabolism, maintaining energy balance, DNA repair and reducing oxidative stress, etc. Some studies suggest that 5-deazaflavin may be able to increase NAD+ levels, which could have anti-aging effects.
