NAD+
NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which is a key compound in your
body and all its living cells. Specifically, it’s a crucial molecule that plays various
important roles in cellular reproduction, respiration, and much more. Technically, there
are two forms of NAD: active and inactive NAD. Active NAD is called NAD+, and it is
used in modern NAD+ therapeutic treatments. The molecule is a linchpin to the function of the generators of cells – mitochondria. NAD+ not only helps convert food to energy but also plays a crucial role in maintaining DNA integrity and ensures proper cell function to protect our bodies from aging and disease. NAD+ works as a shuttle bus, transferring electrons from one molecule to another within cells to carry out all sorts of reactions and processes. This vital molecule participates in various metabolic reactions that generate our cell’s energy. Without sufficient NAD+ levels, our cells wouldn’t be able to generate any energy to survive and carry out their functions. Other functions of NAD+ include regulating our circadian rhythm, which controls our body’s sleep/wake cycle. As we age, NAD+ levels fall, suggesting important implications in metabolic function and age-related diseases. Because NAD+ is such an important coenzyme and affects various biological processes, it’s no surprise that it may also provide a wide range of potential benefits.
