NAD+/NADH

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADH are molecules involved in energy production within cells. NAD+ acts as a carrier that accepts electrons during metabolic reactions, converting to NADH. This process helps cells generate the energy required for vital functions. Later, NADH donates those electrons to produce ATP, the cell’s main energy currency. In essence, NAD+ and NADH work together like a rechargeable battery, transferring electrons to facilitate energy flow and metabolic processes essential for life.
