NAD+
Metabolic & Mitochondrial

NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every cell, essential for mitochondrial ATP production via electron transport, DNA repair via PARP enzymes, and sirtuin deacetylase activation. Levels decline approximately 50% between age 20 and 60. Restored through IV therapy or oral precursors NMN...
