Nad+: the celllar coenzyme behind energy & longevity

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a critical role in cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression regulation.

As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline—a process associated with reduced mitochondrial function, slower recovery, and signs of cellular aging. Boosting NAD+ levels has become a major area of interest in the fields of biohacking, anti-aging, and metabolic health.

Why NAD+ Matters

NAD+ acts as a key cofactor in reactions that convert food into usable cellular energy (ATP). It also supports the activity of important enzymes like sirtuins, which are involved in longevity, inflammation regulation, and metabolic efficiency.

Research has explored NAD+ support in connection with:

• Energy production and mitochondrial function

• Cognitive clarity and brain resilience

• DNA repair and cellular stress response

• Improved metabolic regulation

• Anti-aging support at the cellular level

Delivery Methods

NAD+ can be supported through:

• Precursors like NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) or NR (Nicotinamide Riboside)

• IV infusions under medical supervision

• Sublingual and nasal delivery options (experimental)

• Lifestyle strategies (e.g., exercise, fasting) that support natural NAD+ production

While NAD+ therapy is gaining traction in clinical and wellness spaces, it should always be explored with a qualified provider—especially IV or high-dose delivery.
