My urine is bright yellow - is this normal?
This is common and show you have sufficient levels of vitamin B2 already
Brightly yellow (almost neon) coloured urine is a relatively common experience when taking high-dose vitamins.
Most commonly this is caused by vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which can be found in Cel2 Nourishment.
This bright yellow colour of a urine is a sign that your body already has sufficient levels of this vitamin, and the excess is being eliminated from the body via your kidneys.
Provided you are well hydrated, your urine should be a clear to mid yellow colour. Darker yellow urine can indicate dehydration and it is normal for the colour to fluctuate at different times during the day depending on stress, environment and dietary factors.
If your urine is an unusual colour that cannot be explained by fluid or dietary intake – for example pink, red, green or cloudy – we would recommend that you speak to your health practitioner.

How do I take SRW NMN?
Take 2 capsules daily, or as directed by your health practitioner. We recommend that you take NMN with food.
What is NMN?
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a naturally occurring molecule that is found in all lifeforms. It is a direct precursor of the molecule NAD+.
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a naturally occurring molecule that is found in all lifeforms. It is a direct precursor of the molecule NAD+, which plays several important roles:
→ Important molecule for many biological processes
→ Supports energy production in cells
→ Supports key "guardian of the genome” proteins called Sirtuins
The body uses NMN to make NAD+, a compound used by almost every cell in our body for energy production and is involved in over 400 cellular processes. As the body ages, NAD+ levels decline which has been correlated with an array of age-related changes to our cells.
SRW NMN® undergoes a special preparation method which increases its stability and density. This is a patented process which makes the NMN more resilient to environmental degradation. SRW® NMN supports energy production.
Is NMN safe?
NMN is a naturally occurring molecule found in the body and research has found it to be safe at a dosage of up to 500mg per day.
How is NMN different to Cel2 Nourishment?
NMN is one of the main ingredients in Cel2 Nourishment and if you are looking for a supplement to protect your cells from the effects of aging, to improve mitochondrial health, or energy levels both products are great options.
NMN 500mg contains a higher dosage than the 300mg contained in Cel2. This product, and ingredient, supports healthy aging, DNA integrity, mitochondrial health, energy production, and focus.
Cel2 Nourishment contains ingredients that work synergistically to support mitochondrial function and key cellular processes that are related to healthy aging and youthful cell function:
- NMN is included to support energy production and cellular processes as a direct precursor that is converted to NAD+ in our cells,
- Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B2 are included to help the mitochondria (“the cell’s batteries”) to operate well for smooth energy production,
- Astaxanthin is an antioxidant that supports membrane function including the outer cell membrane, the nuclear membrane (that houses your DNA) and your mitochondrial membranes. Your cellular, nuclear and mitochondrial membranes are dynamic and active parts of the cell that are exposed to oxidative stress. Having extra antioxidant protection in their membranes supports and maintains their structure and function,
- Pterostilbene is well researched as a Sirtuin activator. Sirtuins are a group of 7 special proteins involved in cellular repair and maintenance and integral to mitochondrial (our cellular batteries) function.
- Carnosine protects the mitochondria against “sugar damage”.
What does NMN do?
NMN is a direct precursor of the molecule NAD+, which is used to support energy production inside the mitochondria, helping to power up the cells of the body. NAD+ is essential for repairing the damage that occurs inside the cells every day and supporting DNA repair.
Is NMN FDA approved?
The FDA has not approved any claims about the safety or efficacy of NMN. However, NMN is compliant with the Association of New Zealand Advertisers (ANZA)Therapeutic Advertising Pre-vetting Service (TAPS). NMN products are also approved for use by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia.
Who should take NMN?
We all need healthy mitochondria and DNA in order to feel our best, so everyone can benefit from NMN. If you are concerned about low energy, increased muscle and joint soreness, or signs of premature aging, then NMN may be especially beneficial for you.
How much NMN for fertility?
Female fertility may benefit from NMN: animal studies have shown that supplementation with the weight equivalent of 500mg/day of NMN prevented oocyte (developing egg) decline in older mammals, which is essential for fertility.
Are there side effects to using NMN?
NMN may cause mild side effects, including nausea, gastrointestinal upset, and diarrhoea at high doses of over 1,200mg. The major concern with NMN and potential side effects is due to impure, low-quality NMN supplements, so it’s important to look for third-party purity testing when purchasing NMN products. SRW's NMN is >99.5% pure.
Can NMN reverse wrinkles?
The declining NAD+ levels associated with the aging process are a contributing factor to developing wrinkles. Skin aging occurs as a result of failure at the cell level, as well as DNA damage; As the precursor for NAD+, NMN can contribute to the mitochondrial energy production of skin cells, improving skin elasticity and function.
Can NMN reverse grey hair?
Grey hair is one of the most obvious signs of aging, which we know involves declining levels of NAD+. Scientists have recently discovered that it is possible to reverse grey hair. However, while increasing NAD+ levels through NMN may slow and even reverse the aging process, there is not yet enough evidence that NMN can reverse grey hair.
Can NMN reverse aging?
A number of studies have shown that the mitochondrial degradation responsible for aging can be reversed by increasing NAD+ levels in the body. NMN is proven to increase NAD+ levels in the body.
Where is NMN manufactured?
SRW’s NMN is formulated, bottled and encapsulated in New Zealand, which is known for strict quality standards.
Where does NMN come from?
Our NMN is made through an enzymatic process, resulting in a high level of purity, with greater bioavailability in the body.
Should I take NMN?
If your health goals include reversing or slowing the aging process, improving your energy levels and focus and promoting cell and DNA health, then NMN is for you.
Who is David Sinclair?
Dr. David Sinclair is an anti-aging researcher and Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. He is also the president of Health & Lifespan Research and a co-founder of the journal Aging. His lab Sinclair Labs identified the role of NAD+ in regulating lifespan, leading to the influx of research into the use of the NAD+ precursor NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) in anti-aging.
NR vs NMN
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) and NMN are both natural precursors for NAD+ synthesis. NMN has recently been found to be more efficient at converting into NAD and, therefore, more easily absorbed into the cells. For this reason, NMN is considered to be a more stable molecule than NR.
How do I take 2 HOBA?
Take 2 capsules daily, or as directed by your health practitioner. We recommend that you take 2HOBA with food.
Take 2 capsules daily, or as directed by your health practitioner. We recommend that you take 2HOBA with food.
What is 2-HOBA?
2-HOBA, or Hobamine™ is a natural molecule discovered in Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat. Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat has been used in traditional medicine for many generations, and it has only recently been discovered for use in modern supplements.
2-HOBA provides a new way to combat the effects of oxidative stress from free radicals in our cells. 2-HOBA acts as a selective reactive carbonyl scavenger. Reactive carbonyls are damaging molecules that are formed when free radicals interact with cell membranes. This interaction has a flow-on affect that leads to damage within the cells, which can accumulate with age.
Oxidative stress can be caused by many factors including
- Natural free radical production during metabolism
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- Fried foods
- Lack of sleep
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Aging
- UV radiation
- A stressful work or home environment
SRW 2-HOBA contains Hobamine™, a patented form of 2-HOBA which supports healthy aging, DNA integrity, brain function, immune health and circulatory system health. SRW are one of only two companies in the world with access to Hobamine™.

Good hydration, warm hands, use the side of your ring finger.
If you have poor circulation, you generally have cold hands, or you have had issues with providing blood samples in the past, we recommend that you follow these tips when collecting finger prick blood sample.
- Make sure you are well hydrated before performing the test, by drinking plenty of fluids for several days leading up to your test. This will encourage better blood flow.
- Make sure your fingers are warm by using one or several of the below options:
- Wash hands with warm water, or even take a warm shower, if necessary.
- Do the test after exercise, or do some star jumps/walking up and down the stairs to encourage circulation.
- Stand up and point your hand and fingers to the floor when taking the sample, using gravity to help blood flow.
- Massage your hands and finger so that they feel warm to touch before using the lancet, then after lancing, massage your finger towards the tip to encourage blood flow.
- Use the side of your ring finger, as this is the best finger from which to draw blood.

The new DNAage test provides three key biomarkers about the way that you are aging. You will be provided with your cellular age, pace of aging and telomere length.
You can compare the biological age test result from the saliva-based sample to the cellular age result that you receive via the new test.
Will the blood prick test hurt?
You can take some steps to prepare for the test and reduce the chances of feeling any discomfort.
It is normal to feel apprehensive about using a blood prick lancet, but you can take some steps to prepare for the test and reduce the chances of feeling any discomfort:
- Make sure that your fingers are warm before doing the test, this will make the sample collection process easy and reduce any additional anxiety. If your hands are cold this can cause discomfort and make it harder to collect the sample.
- Take the sample from the sides of the tip of your ring finger, not the top. There are fewer nerves and more blood vessels along the side of the finger and the ring finger is the best finger from which to draw blood.
How many times can I use the lancet?
The lancets included in the DNAage test are designed for one use only.
The lancets included in the DNAage test are designed for one use only. We include a second lancet in case there are any issues with the first lancet.
Please carefully follow instructions of how to get enough sample before using second lancet.
What are the DNAage test instructions for collecting a finger prick blood sample?
Before collecting your sample, we recommend that you carefully read through the instructions in the leaflet that you will find with your test kit.
Before collecting your sample, we recommend that you carefully read through the instructions in the leaflet that you will find with your test kit. Check that all components are present and that you understand the instructions. You may also find it useful to read through our FAQ about improving blood flow to your finger before you follow the steps below.
Registering your kit at www.register.srw.co is an important first step to ensure that you receive your results. If you don’t register your kit then you will not receive your results. SRW Laboratories cannot refund or replace your test you if you post it to us without registering it.
The instructions for collection are:
- Wash your hands in warm soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Use the alcohol wipe to clean your preferred finger for collection, the let it dry.
- Prick finger with lancet – twist the top of the lancet to remove the cap. Align the lancet against your chosen fingertip and press firmly down to activate the lancets internal spring (expect resistance before it activates). This will puncture the skin. Wipe away the first drop of blood with the gauze pad.
- Collect sample – starting at the centre of the circle, apply 6-9 drops of blood onto the blood spot card so that the circle is filled and soaked through.
- Apply plaster whilst you wait for the card to air dry.
- Leave card to dry for at least 3 hours and protect it from moisture and direct sunlight during this time.
- Seal in bag – once dried, tuck the cover into its front flap to protect it. Place the card into the biohazard bag and seal it, ensuring there is as little air in the bag as possible.
- Place the biohazard bag into the pre-paid envelope and return it to the laboratory by dropping it off at any post office or mail drop-box.
What is included in the DNAage test?
Biological age, pace of aging and telomere length reports.
DNAage tests over 900,000 DNA methylations regions to provide you with three reports: Cellular age, Pace of aging and Telomere length.
For more information on these reports, please see the How does the DNAage test work FAQ.
In addition to these reports, the cost of the test includes an optional 20 minute online consult with one of our experts to discuss your results and assess how we can help you improve your healthy aging activities.
DNAage customers receive regular emails with information and tips on how you can directly influence healthy aging through your daily habits and decisions. We encourage you to download the SRW Healthspan app to make the most of your experience (Android users download here. iPhone users download here).
Through DNAage and the SRW Healthspan app you will;
- Discover your cellular age, rate of aging and telomere length over time.
- Be able to track these metrics over time as you repeat the test, and correlate lifestyle adjustments to changes in DNA methylation patterns
- Learn about how lifestyle affects aging.
- Learn about the science behind the SRW range.
- Set up a reminder to take your supplements.
Is the SRW DNAage test suitable for everyone?
The DNAage test is a finger prick collection test that is suitable for most adults.
The DNAage test is a finger prick collection test that is suitable for most adults.
However, we would not recommend this test to anyone undergoing immunosuppressant treatment.
In these circumstances, your DNAage test is likely to fail due to insufficient cells available for analysis.
How does the DNAage test work?
The DNAage test works by analysing methylation patterns on the DNA in cells from your blood sample to assess several measurable determinants of the way you are aging.
The DNAage test works by analysing methylation patterns on the DNA in cells from your blood sample to assess several measurable determinants of the way you are aging. You will receive three reports:
- Cellular age
- Pace of Aging
- Telomere Length
The Cellular age report uses algorithms to analyse 10,000 methylation sites on your DNA. Collecting this level of data means that the test measures both the methylation at sites known to relate to aging, and the sites that can contribute to the cause of the patterns of aging. This test gives you insight on you how your cells are acting and informs you whether the activities you are doing are having a positive impact on how well you are aging.
The Pace of Aging report tells you how many biological years you are aging, per calendar year. This test is a measure of the lifestyle behaviours and stressors are impacting the rate at which you are aging now. A score of 1 would mean that you are aging 1 biological year per calendar year. Whereas a score of 0.8 would mean that you are aging only 0.8 of a biological year per calendar year. This score is a predictor of age-related risk of poor health. A score higher than 1 means that your risk of developing a health condition in the next 7 years is greater compared to a score less than 1.
This test can be used to measure the impact that lifestyle and dietary changes, or supplement regimes, have on the way you are aging.
The Telomere Length report tells you the length of your telomeres and how your results compare to your peer age group. Telomeres are structures designed to protect the end of your chromosomes, similar to the caps found at the end of shoelaces. Telomeres play a role in the health of your cells. The length of your telomeres is an indicator of the health of your cells, and shorter telomeres have been linked to an increased risk of age-related diseases.
What is DNA methylation?
DNA methylation is a mechanism used by cells to control gene expression.
DNA methylation is a mechanism used by cells to control gene expression. It is the transfer of a group of atoms known as methyl groups on your DNA.
When optimal DNA methylation occurs, it has a significant positive impact on many biochemical reactions in the body that regulate the activity of your cells.
What is epigenetics?
Epigenetics is the study of mechanisms that switch genes on or off.
Epigenetics is the study of mechanisms that switch genes on or off. This includes the influence of behaviours and environment, which can cause changes that affect how your genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes can be influenced by lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise.
How often should I do the DNAage test?
We recommend that you do a DNAage test every 6 to 12 months.
We recommend that you do a DNAage test every 6 to 12 months. This allows you to track how your cells are acting and determine whether your health regime and lifestyle alterations are having the desired impact on how you age.
