Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a vital molecule found in all living cells that helps produce energy from the food we eat. It acts as a carrier, transferring electrons during metabolic processes, which generates the energy our body needs to function. NAD also plays a role in repairing DNA and regulating cell health. It exists in two forms: NAD+ (active form) and NADH (its reduced form), balancing energy production and consumption. Maintaining proper NAD levels is essential for overall cellular health, aging, and preventing disease.
