NAD+

NAD+ — Description

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It is essential for life because it fuels many of the body’s most important biological processes, especially those related to energy production, cellular repair, and healthy aging.

What Is NAD+?

 NAD+ is a molecule that exists in two forms:

• NAD+ (oxidized form)
• NADH (reduced form)
  Together, they play a central role in converting nutrients into usable energy within the mitochondria — the cell’s “power plants.”

Key Functions of NAD+

1. Energy Production (ATP generation)
   NAD+ is required for breaking down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy.
2. DNA Repair
   Activates sirtuins (SIRT1–SIRT7), enzymes that repair DNA damage and support cellular resilience.
3. Healthy Aging
   NAD+ levels naturally decline with age; boosting levels may support cellular longevity.
4. Metabolism Regulation
   Helps maintain proper metabolic function, including blood sugar and fat metabolism.
5. Cellular Stress Resistance
   Supports the body’s defense against oxidative stress and inflammation.

NAD+ in Supplements

Because NAD+ itself is not easily absorbed, supplements typically use precursors that the body converts into NAD+. The most common include:

• NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)
• NR (Nicotinamide Riboside)
• Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3)

Some advanced formulas include:

• NADH (reduced form, supports energy)
• Resveratrol or pterostilbene (helps activate sirtuin pathways)
• CoQ10 (supports mitochondrial function alongside NAD+)

Potential Benefits

A NAD+ support formula may help with:

• Increased energy and reduced fatigue
• Improved cellular repair
• Enhanced cognitive function and focus
• Better metabolic health
• Support for healthy aging
• Improved resilience to stress
