Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a vital coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a key role in metabolism, serving as an essential molecule for energy production and cellular health. NAD exists in two forms: NAD+ (oxidized) and NADH (reduced). NAD is a cornerstone of cellular function and energy metabolism, with significant implications for health and disease. As scientific understanding of NAD expands, it opens new avenues for therapeutic interventions aimed at promoting health span and combating age-related conditions.

​

Functions and Importance

NAD is crucial for a variety of cellular processes. It is a central player in redox reactions, which are essential for converting nutrients into energy. NAD+ acts as an electron transporter in the mitochondria, facilitating the production of ATP, the cell’s primary energy currency. Beyond its metabolic role, NAD+ is involved in DNA repair, gene expression regulation, and maintaining cellular health and longevity.

 

Health Benefits and Therapeutic Potential

Maintaining optimal NAD+ levels is associated with numerous health benefits, including improved energy metabolism, enhanced cellular repair, and protection against age-related diseases. NAD+ boosters, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), are being researched for their potential to support healthy aging, improve cognitive function, and combat metabolic disorders.
