🔬 What is NAD+?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a critical role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. It is essential for the function of sirtuins, PARPs, and other NAD+-dependent enzymes that regulate cellular health and longevity.
NAD+ levels decline naturally with age, and this decline is associated with metabolic dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and age-related diseases. NAD+ is available in pen and freeze-dried vial formulations for research purposes.
⚡ How NAD+ Works
NAD+ functions through multiple pathways to support cellular health:
Energy Metabolism
Essential for ATP production in mitochondria, supporting cellular energy
DNA Repair
Activates PARP enzymes for DNA repair and genomic stability
Sirtuin Activation
Activates sirtuins (SIRT1-7) for cellular stress resistance and longevity
NAD+ also supports mitochondrial function, neuroprotection, and metabolic health through its role in redox reactions and cellular signaling.
📋 Research Applications
Energy & Metabolism
Supports mitochondrial function and metabolic health
Neuroprotection
Shown to protect against Parkinson's disease and cognitive decline
Cardiovascular Health
Improves heart function and reduces fibrosis in kidney disease
Longevity Research
Investigating NAD+ precursors for healthy aging and lifespan extension
📊 Clinical Studies
NAD+ Boosters & Mitochondrial Function
- NAD+ boosters improve mitochondrial function and increase endurance
- In Parkinson's disease: protection from mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced loss of neurons
- Improves heart function and reduces fibrosis in kidney disease
Age-Related NAD+ Decline
- NAD+ levels decline naturally with age, contributing to metabolic dysfunction
- NAD+ precursors (NR and NMN) have shown potential in restoring NAD+ levels
- Research suggests NAD+ restoration may support healthy aging and cellular resilience
