How It Works
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a critical role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cell signaling. NAD+ levels decline with age, and this decline is associated with various age-related conditions. Supplementation aims to restore youthful NAD+ levels to support cellular function and activate longevity pathways like sirtuins.
Key Benefits
Essential coenzyme for cellular metabolism
Studied for anti-aging properties
Supports cellular energy production
May activate sirtuins
Research Highlights
David Sinclair's research at Harvard on NAD+ and aging
Studies show NAD+ decline correlates with aging markers
Research on sirtuin activation and longevity pathways
Clinical trials on NAD+ precursors (NMN, NR) showing safety
Available Forms
- Sublingual tablets
- Nasal spray
- IV infusion
- Lyophilized powder
Legal Status
Available as a dietary supplement in most countries. NAD+ precursors (NMN, NR) widely available as supplements.
