NAD+ Research Topics:
-
Metabolic Health:
NAD+ plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism, enhancing energy production and mitochondrial function. It supports the conversion of nutrients into cellular energy, which can improve overall metabolic health and combat metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (PMID: 32694684). -
Anti-Aging Effects:
NAD+ levels decline with age, and boosting NAD+ can promote cellular repair, improve DNA repair mechanisms, and support longevity. This can help mitigate an age-related decline in various bodily functions (PMID: 33353981). -
Cognitive Function:
NAD+ is essential for brain health, enhancing neuroprotection and cognitive function. It can help prevent neurodegenerative diseases and improve memory and learning capabilities (PMID: 34530866). -
Cardiovascular Health:
NAD+ helps in maintaining cardiovascular health by supporting endothelial function and reducing oxidative stress, which can lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases (PMID: 34843394). -
Immunoregulation:
NAD+ contributes to the regulation of the immune system, enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections and reduce inflammation (PMID: 33384409).
