NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) 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.

Current Research Focus

Primary Research Areas:

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

1. Sirtuin Activation: NAD⁺ serves as a critical cofactor for sirtuins, enzymes involved in aging regulation, gene expression, and cellular stress resistance.

2. DNA Repair via PARP: Enables PARP enzyme activity to repair DNA damage and maintain genomic stability.

3. Mitochondrial Energy Production: Facilitates redox reactions required for glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, supporting efficient ATP generation.

4. AMPK and FOXO3 Pathway Support: Indirectly enhances metabolic efficiency and longevity-associated signaling pathways.

5. Inflammation Modulation: Helps regulate pro-inflammatory cytokines and supports immune system balance.
