Fueling the Mitochondria
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It is essential for transferring energy from the food we eat to the mitochondria, which produce ATP.
As we age, NAD+ levels decline by up to 50%. This decline is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, fatigue, and metabolic disease. Boosting NAD+ levels (via precursors like NMN or direct injection) activates Sirtuins—genes associated with longevity—and promotes DNA repair.
