NAD+
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a fundamental coenzyme present in all living cells, playing a crucial role in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and metabolic function. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to various age-related conditions. This essential molecule is involved in multiple cellular processes, including the conversion of food into energy, regulation of circadian rhythms, and maintenance of DNA integrity. NAD+ supplementation has shown promise in improving cellular function, enhancing metabolism, and potentially extending lifespan. It works by supporting mitochondrial function, activating sirtuins (longevity proteins), and promoting cellular repair mechanisms. Research suggests that maintaining optimal NAD+ levels may help protect against age-related decline and improve overall cellular health.
