NAD⁺ is a vital coenzyme present in all living cells, critical to energy metabolism, DNA repair, mitochondrial function, and cellular signaling. It exists in oxidized (NAD⁺) and reduced (NADH) forms and plays a central role in aging, neurodegeneration, immunity, and metabolic health. As NAD⁺ levels decline with age, supplementation strategies (e.g., NMN, NR) are being explored to enhance healthspan and lifespan.

Applications
  • Anti-aging and longevity enhancement
  • Neuroprotection (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
  • DNA repair and cellular resilience
  • Metabolic health (e.g., insulin sensitivity, fat metabolism)
  • Muscle recovery and exercise performance
  • Circadian rhythm and sleep regulation
  • Immune function and inflammation control
Mechanism of Action

Sirtuin Activation: NAD⁺ acts as a cofactor for sirtuins, enzymes that regulate aging, gene expression, and stress response
DNA Repair via PARP: Enables PARP enzymes to repair DNA, maintaining genome stability
Mitochondrial Energy Production: Facilitates redox reactions essential for glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation
AMPK and FOXO3 Pathways: Indirectly supports metabolic efficiency and cellular longevity pathways
Inflammation Modulation: Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, supporting immune homeostasis
