NAD+

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a small molecule essential for the activity of some enzymes that is found in every one of the body’s cells. NAD+ is needed for the fundamental biological processes that make living possible, from metabolism to DNA health. NAD+, is required for safe and efficient energy transfer to tissues from food.

NAD occurs naturally in your body. They play a major role in the chemical process of generating energy. NAD is probably the most important co factor for improving mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are intracellular organelles, aka energy powerhouses where macronutrients, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats from food are converted to energy rich ATP molecules for the cell. NAD† helps the liver break down fats that are essential to provide energy for the body It also helps create ATP which is a major source of energy for cells. Boosting NAD may help manage a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from diabetes to cancer.

When NAD is given by IV some research has shown it can improve mental clarity, alertness, concentration and memory. Moreover, NAD infusions may improve athletic endurance and reverse the symptoms of chronic fatigue.
