THE ALCLIN STORY

Christo Coetzee is the founder and CEO of AlClin Pharmaceuticals, a driven and passionate health advocate. In 1982, he started his career at Covan Pharmaceuticals (PTY) Ltd as a laboratory technician and was consistently promoted until becoming CEO by 1990. Acting as CEO, Covan Pharmaceuticals was sold to Adcock Ingram (formerly Zurich Pharma) in 1994. Mr. Coetzee maintained ownership of the NAD IV product that was being manufactured then and started Alclin (PTY) Ltd to continue production on the NAD vials and invest more time and resources into the research and development of NAD products. The NAD+ was trademarked in 1974 as DPN (Diphosphopyradine Nucleotide) by Christo’s father Ernst Pieter Coetzee.

NAD+

[ nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ]

NAD+ is naturally occurring in mammals and is an essential housekeeping molecule found in every cell of the body; it is as vital to our bodies as oxygen.

NAD+ serves as a co-factor and driving force for various critical cellular processes, such as energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, biosynthesis, gene expression, DNA repair, immune function and aging.

NAD+ diminishes with age. The decline of NAD+ levels is the scientific trigger for the decline of many basic physiological functions that lead to early aging and potentially chronic diseases. Administration of NAD+ assists with the mitigation of such risks.

The market for NAD+ is projected to exceed US$1.4BN by 2030
