General FAQs
Healthy aging means that your dog stays strong and flexible with age. Your dog feels vital, stays cognitively engaged, and doesnโt suffer from age-related diseases and decline. Healthy aging depends on specific genes, epigenetics, blood chemistry and more. Just like for humans, regular exercise, healthy diet, and veterinary checkups, including bloodwork and discussion of goals for your dog go a long way to support healthy aging.
Puppies and young dogs (less than 50% of their expected lifespan based on breed) do not need Leap Years. Young dogs have adequate stores of NAD+ and would not have many senescent cells unless there was concomitant inflammatory disease. A dog would not need Leap Years until adult maturity. NAD+ concentrations start to wane in middle age. Specific diseases should be discussed with your veterinarian.
No. Leap Years has been tested in dogs only and is not labeled for human use. Please keep the soft chews out of reach of children.

LY-D6 is a golden color because it is a combination of the NAD+ booster and senolytic and is administered on two consecutive days per month.
ย
LY-D2 is brown and it contains the daily NAD booster only.
Leap Years is a monthly regimen. On two consecutive days, you give the light-colored combination soft chews (from the bag inside the bottle (NAD booster and senolytic)). Daily after that, you give the dark-colored (NAD booster) soft chews (in the bottle) all the rest of the days of the month. We recommend starting the combination (light-colored) soft chews at the beginning of the month so it is easy to remember but you may start them on any two consecutive days of the month.
ย
It takes about 4-6 weeks for senescent cells to develop, so the light-colored combination soft chew (NAD booster and senolytic) knocks down the population at the start of each month. Then, the dark-colored soft chew (NAD booster) supports the use of NAD for the healthy cells for the remainder of the month.
We have tested up to 10 times the daily dosage in a safety study in dogs and found no adverse effects. In the event of overdosage, please seek veterinary attention.

Yes, the monthly regimen is two consecutive days of the combination light-colored soft chews (NAD booster and senolytic) and daily dark-colored (NAD booster ) soft chews all the rest of the days of the month. We recommend starting the combination (light-colored) soft chews at the beginning of the month so it is easy to remember but you may start them on any two consecutive days of the month. For example, if you give the combination light-colored chews on the 9th and 10th of the month, just remember that those are the days for the light-colored soft chews the next month with the dark-colored (NAD booster) daily for all of the other days of the month.
If you miss a few days, pick up where you left off and finish the daily regimen through the end of the month. You may give the light-colored combination soft chew on the same days next month. The NAD booster is given daily based on pharmacokinetic studies in dogs which showed the body's normal daily NAD levels and the half-life of Leap Years.
Knowing that we wanted dogs with food allergy, food sensitivity or food intolerance to be able to take Leap Years, we carefully considered any protein that would be in the soft chews. Since our canine palatability testing showed beef to be the favorite, we chose to use a synthetic beef flavor. This means that no animal proteins (common allergens) are included in Leap Years.
ย
The inactive ingredients are: apple pectin cellulose powder, brewerโs dried yeast, FlavorPal NA 1271 (non-animal beef flavor), flaxseed oil, flaxseed powder, potato starch, rice bran, sorbic acid, sunflower lecithin, vegetable glycerin, vit C and vit E. The small quantity of brewerโs yeast contains a small amount of gluten.
ย
The nutritional content of a Leap Years soft chew is: carbohydrate (2.46 g), fat (<0.5 g) and protein (<0.5 g).
We have tested up to 10 times the daily dosage in a safety study in dogs and found no adverse effects. In the event of overdosage, please seek veterinary attention.
LY-D2 (brown) is 200mg of an NAD+ booster.
LY-D6 (golden) is 600 mg of a combination of NAD+ booster and senolytic. The inactive ingredients are: apple pectin cellulose powder, brewerโs dried yeast, FlavorPal NA 1271 (non-animal beef flavor), flaxseed oil, flaxseed powder, potato starch, rice bran, sorbic acid, sunflower lecithin, vegetable glycerin, vit C and vit E.
