Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a remarkable molecule that is used within the body in numerous, complex ways (which we\u2019ve written about before<\/a>). A cofactor for multiple biological processes, NAD+ is critical for maintaining cellular energy, DNA repair, gene expression, and immunoregulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are certainly more, here are 5 ways that NAD+ has the power to improve your health and change your life for the better<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Prevents Age-Related and Other Diseases<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Depletion of NAD+ (and related mitochondrial dysfunction) in the body has been associated with hallmarks of aging<\/a>, and may underlie a wide-range of age-related diseases, such as metabolic disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Evidence suggests that elevation of NAD+ levels may slow or even reverse certain aspects of aging and age-related diseases. One way it does this is by combating oxidative stress, which is a major factor associated with age-related diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “There is a growing awareness that oxidative stress plays a key role not only in the aging process, but also in various degenerative diseases including Alzheimer\u2019s disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic inflammation.” <\/b><\/em><\/span><\/p>(via Plosone.org<\/a>)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Additionally, NAD+ shows promise for the treatment of a wide range of dermatological conditions, including autoimmune blistering disorders, acne, rosacea, aging skin and atopic dermatitis. Studies have even shown that it has the potential for preventing skin cancers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Boosts Stamina, Energy, and Muscle Recovery<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      NAD+ plays an important role in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – the \u201cfuel\u201d produced by our mitochondria that supports cellular respiration, replication of DNA, and muscle contractions. Essentially, the more ATP that is produced within the body, the greater our energy levels and muscle function<\/a>. NAD+ can be used to boost athletic performance, alleviate jet lag, and even treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Improves Memory, Focus, and Cognitive Function<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        In addition to slowing neurodegenerative disease, studies have shown that NAD+ plays a vital role in maintaining healthy brain function<\/a> in other ways. Specifically, it is linked to improving neuroplasticity and helping to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin (our \u201chappy\u201d hormone). Some of the cognitive benefits clients readily notice are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
