What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the human body — essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair, gene expression and mitochondrial function. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, making it one of the most intensively researched compounds in longevity and anti-aging science.
NAD+ Research Applications
- Cellular energy metabolism: NAD+ is central to the Krebs cycle and ATP production research.
- DNA repair mechanisms: PARP enzymes require NAD+ — research into genomic stability and repair.
- Brain cellular repair: Neuroprotection and cognitive function research in aging models.
- Mitochondrial function: Sirtuins require NAD+ — research into mitochondrial biogenesis and health.
- Anti-aging research: Multiple peer-reviewed studies on NAD+ restoration and aging markers.
Research note: NAD+ is the subject of hundreds of peer-reviewed studies at institutions including Harvard Medical School, MIT and Oxford. Research continues into its potential role in age-related decline, metabolic disorders and neurodegeneration.
