Vitamin D: The “Sunshine” Vitamin
Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol is one of two forms of vitamin D. Both vitamin D2 and D3 need to be converted first by the liver and then by the kidneys into the main form of vitamin D, however, D3 appears to be more effective at raising levels of active vitamin D than D2, which is why it is more highly recommended by healthcare providers.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin found in various foods and supplements which can also be made by the body when the skin is exposed to the ultraviolet rays from the sun. Vitamin D is the only vitamin out of all 13 essential vitamins that the body can manufacture on its own. Many people, however, become deficient in vitamin D because they don’t get enough sunshine. This is why vitamin D is often known as the “sunshine vitamin” because the body’s main source of vitamin D is the sun.
Vitamin D Deficiency is Common
If you work inside or live in a cooler climate, however, you may not be getting all the vitamin D you need. Simply wearing sunscreen can prevent your body from getting all the vitamin D it needs. To make matters worse, as you age your skin’s ability to manufacture vitamin D from the sun diminishes.
“Vitamin D insufficiency affects almost 50% of the population worldwide. An estimated 1 billion people worldwide, across all ethnicities and age groups, have a vitamin D deficiency. This pandemic of hypovitaminosis D can mainly be attributed to lifestyle and environmental factors that reduce exposure to sunlight, which is required for ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced vitamin D production in the skin.” (1)
One of the many roles of vitamin D is to promote calcium absorption, allowing for proper bone mineralization and growth. It also has other diverse roles throughout the body, including the reduction of inflammation, metabolizing glucose, and supporting immune function.
Vitamin D also plays a vital role in supporting neuromuscular function. The body’s neuromuscular system includes the brain’s signaling system, from muscles to nerves. This communication system is important for the body’s coordinated movement. It is important that as we age, we maintain a healthy neuromuscular system through good nutrition and exercise.
Most experts recommend 600 to 800 IUs of vitamin D per day.
Liposomal Delivery
Liposomal D3 & K2 is created through an all-natural manufacturing process where liposomes engulf and protect the D3 & K2 as it is digested, making more of the active compounds bioavailable.
The Liposomal manufacturing process uses no heat, no high pressure, and natural non-hydrogenated sunflower phosphatidylcholine derived from non-GMO certified sunflower. It undergoes a multi-step, purification and filtration process using Ultrapure Water. Learn More About Improved Bioavailability with Liposomes.

About Liposomes
What is a liposome?
Liposomes are vesicles comprised of phospholipid molecules – the same molecules that comprise cell membranes.
The phospholipid molecule consists of a hydrophilic phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails. These features enable liposomes to be the carriers of hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds.
Due to low absorption and bioavailability rates of traditional oral dietary capsules, the encapsulation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic nutrients within liposomes allows the active ingredient to bypass the destructive elements of the gastric system.
To release the protected molecules to a site of action, the lipid bilayer fuses with other bilayers such as the cell membrane, delivering the liposome contents directly into the cells and tissues intact.
What is phosphatidylcholine?
One of the most important and prominent phospholipids in cell membranes is called phosphatidylcholine (PC) [pronounced FOSS-fah-tide-al-KOH-lean]. At birth up to 90% of cellular membranes are made up of PC. As you age, the percentage of PC in your cellular membranes can decrease to about 10%. This fact leads many to recommend consistent supplementation with this essential phospholipid.
What does phosphatidylcholine do?
Phosphatidyl choline is required for many vital functions in the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. PC and its components are needed for the synthesis of important messenger molecules called prostaglandins which, among other functions, regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Choline is required for the synthesis of intracellular messenger molecules including the neurotransmitters that allow nerve cells to communicate with muscles and each other, and are essential for proper heart and brain function.
Increases Bioavailability
Liposomes release drug molecules by membrane fusion. They delay the clearance and increase the intravascular circulation time of encapsulated drugs, decreasing digestion of liposomes by macrophages in the reticulo-endothelial system (RES), and enhancing the retention of drugs. The drug encapsulated in the liposome is protected from metabolism and the drug molecule becomes active only after release from liposome (r).
These encapsulating phospholipids bond with cell membranes to facilitate intracellular delivery. They are successful in this because they are able to bypass the digestive processes that normally degrade foreign substances.
Crosses the Blood Brain Barrier
Have you ever heard of the blood-brain barrier? This is a filtering mechanism in our circulation system that allows blood to be carried to the brain but blocks numerous other substances from passing through. Nanoliposomes have demonstrated the ability to cross this barrier, giving the liposomes the ability to deposit the supplement directly into the cells and enhance circulation of nutrients by your lymphatic system.
Liposome Research
RESEARCH ON LIPOSOMES FOR INCREASED BIOAVAILABILITY
Liposomes, vesicles enclosed by phospholipid bilayers, can solubilize water-insoluble drugs into the lipid domain of the liposomal membrane. In addition to their solubilizing capacity and biocompatibility, the structural and compositional similarity of liposomes with bio-membranes has also encouraged their application for non-invasive oral delivery of poorly-permeable nutrients. 2
Liposomes are non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and have the following advantages as carriers in drug delivery: first, liposomes can reduce toxicity; second, hydrophilic and lipophilic agents can be incorporated into liposomes; third, liposomes control the drug release; and fourth, the liposome delivery system increases bioavailability. 3
WATER SOLUBILITY
Molecules with very poor water solubility usually have the worst bioavailability and can benefit the most from liposomal delivery. Fisetin is one example shown below up to 27x more bioavailable.
Liposomal Fisetin 1.6 to 27x More Bioavailable
This study in mice found a 2.7-fold increase (in Cmax) with Liposomal Fisetin, with a dose 10 times lower than that of the free fisetin when given by IP.
With IV, the Cmax of liposomal fisetin was 10, vs 6 for free fisetin.
Liposomal Vitamin B-12 Formulas 3-5x More Bioavailable Than Tablet.
This study compared five formulations for bioavailabilty in humans over 6 hours.A standard table (iii) was compared against an emulsion (ii), a chewabletablet (iv), an oral spray comprised of larger liposomes (v) and an oral spray comprised of very small (20 nanometer) liposomes.
- (i) Nanocelle 1000ug -28% - A nano liposomal formulation of B12sublingual spray with an average particle size of about 20 nm
(ii) Emulsion 1000ug - 10% -An emulsion formulation of B12 sublingual
(iii) Tablet 1000ug - 5% - A standard tablet formulation of B12 that is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.
(iv) Chewable 5000ug - 27% - A dissolvabletablet of B12 that is absorbed through the sublingual mucosa
(v) Liposome 1000ug - 14% - A liposome oral spray of B12 with particle sizes of approximately 100 nm.
The chewable showed similar increase as nano liposomal, but a 5x higher dosage was used.
The standard liposomal product was 3x more bioavailable than tablet.
The nano liposomal spray exhibited sustained release with more than 5x increased bioavailability over standard tablets.

Preparation, Pharmacokinetics and Tumour-Suppressive Activity of Berberine Liposomes (Zheng, 2017)
Administration of standard Liposomal Berberine increased retention time in circulation from .42 to 10 hours. Use of PEG modified Liposomes further increased retention to to 14 hours.
Administration of Berberine solution injection is hindered by unsatisfactory pharmacokinetics and, more importantly, the risk of lethal cardiovascular adverse reactions due to rapid uptake into heart and lung. This study validated common and long-circulating liposomes as safe and effective method for sustained release of Berberine.

Liposomal Glutathione More Effective
Clinical research aiming to improve glutathione concentration requires sufficient glutathione absorption and delivery.Researchers turn to liposomal glutathione to achieve sustained bioavailability.
Results from two recent studies showed that liposomal nanoformulation absorption is more effective for raising blood glutathione levels in humans than non-liposomal glutathione. 1
Both studies report a very rapid decline in bioavailability of non-liposome-encapsulated glutathione compared to liposomal glutathione.
Liposome Encapsulated Glutathione Elevates Body Stores
The results of a recent study demonstrated increased body stores of Glutathione (GSH) after oral administration of Liposomal GSH humans. 2
Since GSH is subject to destruction in the acid environment of the stomach, researchers tested that oral liposomal GSH might be an effective means of GSH delivery in vivo.
Finally, liposomal GSH was highly tolerated and its administration was not associated with any signs of adverse effects. 3
The results from this study provide support for the potential use of oral liposomal Glutathione as an intervention strategy for enhancing tissue Glutathione levels for use in disease therapy or prevention.
Liposomal Glutathione effects were often greater that previously observed for non-liposomal Glutathione . 4

Enhanced Efficacy of Apigenin Liposomes
A recent study focusing on establishing apigenin as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for alleviating colorectal cancer reports the development of a stable liposomal nanocarrier with high encapsulation of the hydrophobic flavone apigenin for enhanced chemotherapeutic effects.
"Apigenin liposomes bypass the hurdles posed by apigenin as a chemotherapeutic due to its high hydrophobicity. The enhanced pharmacological activity of apigenin has been assigned to its ability to interact and subsequently influence membrane properties which also resulted in optimal yield of a stable, rigidified, non-leaky nano-carrier with ideal release kinetics."
Liposomal Quercetin:Prolonged Circulation Time in Vivo
New research using Quercetin liposomes demonstrates higher quercetin concentrations in plasma than non-encapsulated quercetin and prolonged circulations time in the blood.
"The effect of quercetin liposomes was stronger than quercetin alone. This formulation provides characteristics such as high drug encapsulation ratio, low in vitro release rate and slow drug clearance and prolonged circulation time in vivo. This provides an alternative solubilization vehicle for administration of quercetin."
Liposomal Nanoparticles Improve the Solubility and Bioavailability of Quercetin in Liver
Liposomal nanoparticles may improve the solubility and bioavailability of quercetin in liver. A 2020 study on the protective and therapeutic effects of nanoliposomal quercetin found liposomal quercetin could effectively protect rats against acute liver injury and may be a new hepatoprotective and therapeutic agent for patients with liver diseases.
Fig. 1:Effect of nanoliposomal quercetin on histopathological changes in rat liver tissues. (Scale bar: 50 μm; HE staining). a Normal control; b-d hepatic-injured rats with b saline treatment; c quercetin treatment; and d nanoliposomal quercetin treatment.
"Interestingly, nanoliposomal quercetin was more effective on decreasing liver index and interstitial inflammatory infiltration of hepatic-injured rats than pure quercetin, which indicated that the protective effect of nanoliposomal quercetin in the injured liver was stronger than that of pure quercetin."

The following are uncompensated testimonials from some of our happy customers.
Improved Energy & Recovery
"I've been using the sublingual NMN for the past year and wouldn't do without it! From the first time I used it, to each time I use it, I can feel an uptick in energy and notice that my immune system seems to function better overall. I haven't been sick since we started using it! I originally tried NMN supplements because I had come down with a really bad flu last February (not Covid) and was having a hard time recovering. While I was sick I read Dr. David Sinclair's book, Lifespan, and decided to try using NMN. Wow, what a difference it made in my recovery! I got better so quickly after I started taking the supplements.
During my recovery, I took four of the sublingual tablets/day to boost my DNA repair mechanisms, and now for maintenance, I take the recommended 2/day. I've also tried both the LSG NMN and the SLC NMN and have found both to be equally as effective. I like switching the delivery mechanism for the NMN periodically to get the best response from my body. " - Jesse K.
Hair Darkening, Skin Improvements
"The darkening of my hair has been noticeable over the last 3 months or so. I take RBS Liposomal NMN and Fisetin amongst a range of other supplements.
The improvement to my facial skin & back of my hands is absolutely associated with the Renue applications. I had noticed it but when other people started commenting I felt that I had something more concrete to contribute. So in summary this is a remarkable result by any standards." - Lloyd D.
Improvements in Chronic Illness
"I have spent most of my life struggling with chronic pain and disease. I was pleased to not have any stimulating effects, but rather subtle yet very powerful changes after using nmn for only a couple of weeks. I notice deeper sleep, better recovery, and more strength during heavy lifts. I also noticed subtle mood changes, like not having that sort of blah feeling when it's dark, gray, and raining outside.
I have since tried more products by Renue by Science and have noticed benefits with each and every one. Their formulations are excellent and the quality of their products is Dependable through and through." - Rebekah F.
Energy Boost with Every Use
"I have been taking Pure NMN sublingual powder for about two years, and it feels like a boost of energy every time. I notice a difference in my yoga practice and strength training when I take it, my body recovers faster.
I also noticed that my vision exams have been the same in the last two years, which was never the case before. I don't know if it's related, but I would attribute it to the supplement. This is me at 39, and I feel like I have the energy of an 18 year old!" - Alexia B.

MOVING THE SCIENCE FORWARD
We constantly strive to improve the effectiveness of our products. So we experiment a lot. We have made great strides improving the bioavailability of NMN and NAD+ products, and enjoy a great reputation among our fast growing customer base as a result.
Sublingual NMN Powder – In 2016 we realized sublingual delivery of NMN is a much more efficient delivery method, so we stopped selling capsules and engineered an NMN powder specifically designed for stability and absorption when taken sublingually. It was an immediate success, as most users can feel a rush of energy, far different than taking a capsule.
Sublingual NMN and NAD+ Tablets – After the success of our NMN Powder, we partnered with the leading pharmaceutical sublingual products formulator to create the first NMN tablets that work similar to the powder in a more convenient form.
NAD+ Nasal Spray – Delivery to the mucosal membranes to rapidly cross the blood brain barrier for a much different effect than sublingual delivery.
Liposomal NMN, NAD+ and NR - A liposome is a tiny bubble made out of the same material as a cell membrane, and are used to protect a supplement through the digestive system and deliver intact to the bloodstream. Liposomal Sublingual Gel™ (LSG) is designed for sublingual (under the tongue) use for superior bioavailability. Our proprietary liposomal manufacturing process uses no heat, no pressure and only high-performance, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients.
Renue Skin Care Products with Liposomal NAD+, NMN, and NR - Renue™ delivers the transformative power of NAD+ along with apocynin and resveratrol across the layers of the skin using breakthrough nanoliposome technology. (1)
Restoring NAD+ in the skin has shown to be effective at treating a wide range of skin disorders, returning it to a more youthful state.
We pioneered ALL these advances in NAD+ products in 4 years, with many more coming in 2021, so stay tuned!
DRIVING THE PRICE DOWN
In 2015 when we began producing our own brand of NMN capsules, there were few manufacturers of raw material and the price was exorbitant.
We believed in the future of NMN, so made the leap and began selling at a break-even prices that were about 1/2 what others were charging, to help spur the markets.
Others were forced to follow our lead and lowered their price almost as low as ours.
We have continued with this model for 5 years now – constantly increasing the size of our orders, and seeing the manufacturing costs drop as more manufacturers see the growing market and learn how to produce the quality product we require.
We’re thrilled to be able to set our retail prices around 1/3 of what they were when we started, and continuously dropping. As always, other companies are forced to lower their prices to match ours, but can’t quite do so as we our the largest buyer and get the best pricing from manufacturers.
SETTING NEW STANDARDS FOR QUALITY
When we started selling NMN on Amazon in 2016, no-one was testing the purity of their product and displaying the proof. Since it is an expensive product and there is no regulatory agency to insure quality, we decided to do so ourselves, and were the first to always post 3rd party test results.
Not only do we test the raw material, but we post test reports for each batch of finished product, as it is simple for a company to just sent a sample off for testing, post that report, but not use any NMN in the bottle
A few have followed our lead now, but many others sell absolute garbage. It is quite easy for a brand new company to pop up and slap a label on some worthless powder, buy some fake reviews on Amazon, and sell bottles to unwitting customers. We had several tested and exposed some of the scammers, but with all the money they can make ripping people off, we couldn't battle all the new brands popping up every week, so left Amazon entirely in 2019.
Dr. Brad Stanfield has taken up the battle a bit and recently tested 21 different brands. Most had less than the advertised quantity of NMN per capsule, with several having NONE. You can see his review here. Unfortunately, that too will have very little effect.
CUSTOMER SERVICE WITHOUT EQUAL
We never adopted the poor customer support standards of other online sellers and don’t outsource phone support to a 3rd party that has no idea what NMN is.
Call us and you will be surprised and the friendly, knowledgeable support.
Our Forum is a great resource for us and our customers to share information and feedback about what works and what doesn't.
We also sponsor trials where we give away free product to hundred of customers and learn more about how they like our products.
We learn from our customers.
One big difference between us and other supplement makers is, we actually talk to our customers!
That feedback has proven especially useful in the formulation of NAD+ products, and has helped us determine what works, without waiting years for the clinical research.
WHY RENUE BY SCIENCE
Whether you want to help support the company driving down prices and moving the science forward with the most effective products, or if you just want the best prices for the best quality NAD+ products, RENUE BY SCIENCE is the place.
