Key Points: NAD+ is a vital molecule involved in the production of our cells’ primary energy source: ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Without adequate levels of NAD+ and ATP, our cells die, making us susceptible to disease and death. Thus, maintaining our NAD+ levels, particularly with age, is critical for a long and healthy life. Maintaining NAD+ Levels… Continue reading Unlocking Youth: The Combined Power of NAD+ and Exercise

Anti-Aging Doctor Reveals How He Diagnoses NAD+ Deficiency
Key Points: Dr. Darshan Shah is a Mayo Clinic-trained surgeon, now the CEO and owner of NextHealth — “The ‘Apple Store’ Of Next Generation Health.” In an interview with Dr. Oz, he discusses the importance of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and one of its precursors NR (nicotinamide riboside). He also reveals how he knows when… Continue reading Anti-Aging Doctor Reveals How He Diagnoses NAD+ Deficiency
A New, Multifaceted Approach to Increasing Cellular NAD+ Levels
Key Points: Multiple studies have shown that taking an NAD+ precursor increases blood NAD+ levels. Yet, aside from raising NAD+, there has been a lack of human trial-based evidence that NAD+-targeting supplements work against aging, even though some rodent studies suggest that they do. Now, published in NPJ Aging, Ford and colleagues from Northumbria University… Continue reading A New, Multifaceted Approach to Increasing Cellular NAD+ Levels
What Foods Are High in NAD+?
Key Points: From bacteria to humans, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is essential for life. As such, not having enough NAD+ may promote organ and tissue degeneration, chronic disease, and death. For these reasons, some may wonder how to maintain sufficient NAD+ levels and if there are foods that can help with doing so. However, when… Continue reading What Foods Are High in NAD+?
Whole-Brain NAD+ Levels Decline with Age, New Study Shows
Key Points: With vital roles in brain aging, cognitive function, and neurodegeneration, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) has instigated a flurry of intensive scientific investigation. On the premise that brain NAD+ levels decline with age, NAD+ replenishing therapies could counteract the cellular dysfunction underlying the brain’s time-dependent structural and functional deterioration. However, non-invasively quantifying NAD+ levels… Continue reading Whole-Brain NAD+ Levels Decline with Age, New Study Shows
NAD+ Precursors, Aging, and Longevity: Dr. Peter Attia’s Thoughts
Key Points: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a fundamental coenzyme present in every living cell, crucial for protecting our genetic blueprints (DNA), enhancing energy production, and boosting metabolism. Without NAD+, human life would cease to exist. Over the last decade, NAD+ has become a focal point of aging and longevity research, but the lack of… Continue reading NAD+ Precursors, Aging, and Longevity: Dr. Peter Attia’s Thoughts
Is NAD+ the Same as Vitamin B3?
Key Points: There are three naturally occurring forms of vitamin B3: In the early 1900s, an epidemic of pellagra spread across the American South, afflicting mostly malnourished farmers. The disease triggered madness and mortality rates as high as 64% within insane asylums. The culprit was vitamin B3 deficiency, leading to the creation of vitamin B3… Continue reading Is NAD+ the Same as Vitamin B3?
Are There Hidden Dangers to Taking NAD+ Supplements?
Key Points: Boosting NAD+ can revitalize the NAD+ levels of particular individuals, including obese and older adults. Furthermore, restoring NAD+ can bring about an assortment of benefits connected to slowing aging. But are there any downsides? The following are the potential dangers associated with NAD+ and the NAD+ precursors niacin, nicotinamide, NR (nicotinamide riboside), and… Continue reading Are There Hidden Dangers to Taking NAD+ Supplements?
The Top 10 Potential Benefits of NAD+ Supplements
The top 10 benefits (with one bonus) involve: NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a fundamental molecule that plays many roles in keeping our cells healthy and alive. However, under certain circumstances, our natural NAD+ levels decline. As such, supplementing with NAD+ can potentially have restorative benefits. Don’t Be Fooled by False Claims Many clinics… Continue reading The Top 10 Potential Benefits of NAD+ Supplements
A New NAD+ Precursor More Stable than NMN and NR: Trigonelline
Key Points: After spending an entire day in a test tube of human blood that has had the blood cells removed (serum), the bonds that hold together NR and NMN fall apart, as shown by Dr. Sorrentino in a short talk given at the 2023 Aging Research & Drug Discovery Meeting. In contrast, trigonelline remains… Continue reading A New NAD+ Precursor More Stable than NMN and NR: Trigonelline
