Key Research Areas & Findings
- Cellular Health & Aging: NAD+ declines with age; supplementation may support energy production (mitochondria) and DNA repair, potentially delaying aging signs and improving “healthspan”.
- Metabolic Health: Preclinical research links NAD+ boosting to better insulin sensitivity, glucose regulation, and combating metabolic syndrome. Small human studies show improved insulin sensitivity in prediabetic individuals.
- Neuroprotection: Studies suggest NAD+ precursors may help preserve cognitive function and slow neurodegeneration in models of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
- Cardiovascular Health: Animal studies show NAD+ replenishment can improve heart function, reduce blood pressure, and combat heart disease. Early human data shows promise for reducing inflammation and improving markers like aortic stiffness.
- Skin Health: Topical or systemic NAD+ might aid in DNA repair and slow UV damage, potentially reducing premature skin aging.
