Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential coenzyme for body functions such as energy production, DNA repair, and cell signaling.
NAD serves to operate the mitochondria's engine, but its levels rapidly decline with aging.
90% of the body's energy is produced by mitochondria, where NAD's role is to generate ATP, the main energy source, powering the 'cell engine' of the mitochondria. Lack of NAD results in the cessation of cellular energy production.
Research indicates that increasing NAD levels may potentially benefit aging-related diseases, including neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders.
The coenzyme NAD is either naturally synthesized in the body or provided as vitamins.
Certain vitamins, such as vitamin B, aid in the body's production of coenzymes by supplying the necessary constituents.
As a means to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction, NAD+ plays a direct role in maintaining mitochondrial health and promoting healthy aging.
