NAD Health Benefits

 

The Secrets Of Anti Aging Supplement NAD

NAD is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme found in all living cells.  It plays a crucial role in metabolic processes including energy production, DNA repair, and maintaining the body's circadian rhythm.  As we age NAD levels naturally decline which may lead to fatigue, lower energy levels, and compromised immunity.  NAD supplements are designed to replenish declining levels typically formulated containing NAD precursors including nicotinamide, riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) which your body uses to convert into NAD.  Potential health benefits of NAD supplements include improved physical energy, better overall health and enhanced cognitive functions.  Studies suggest health benefits are beneficial. It is essential to note more research is needed to fully understand the long term effects of NAD supplementation on the body.  As with any new supplement regime it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before starting a new regimen. 

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is found in trace amounts in milk and yeast. It is a precursor to NAD that can be converted into NAD through a series of enzymatic reactions.  Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NM) is present in some foods like cabbage, broccoli, and cucumbers.  It is another precursor of NAD.  Nicotinic Acid (Niacin) is a form of B3 found in foods like chicken, liver, and peanuts.  It is converted through the Preiss handler pathway.  Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in protein rich foods like turkey, and eggs which can be converted into NAD through a complex pathway.  The body naturally maintains natural levels through these various dietary sources and metabolic processes.  However as we age NAD levels tend to decrease which is why some people consider supplementation.  “ Studies have found that NAD decreases with age in certain tissues and age related NAD depletion affects physiological functions and contributes to various age related diseases. 

Sublimation of NAD precursor significantly elevates NAD levels in murine tissues, effectively mitigates metabolic syndrome, enhances cardiovascular health, protects against neurodegeneration, and boosts muscular strength.” Science Direct  The secrets of anti aging dietary supplement NAD has a wide range of health and longevity benefits.  NADH is closely related to NAD and plays a complementary role in cellular processes. NADH is naturally produced in our body and is involved in the production of energy on a molecular level.  There is some evidence that shows NADH supplements may reduce blood pressure and reduce cholesterol and help chronic fatigue syndrome by providing energy and increasing nerve signals to people with parkinson's disease, improved sleep and energy levels.  Researchers are still studying the benefits of NADH and hope to find a solution to age related disease. 

NADH and NAD are coincides continually converting back and forth to facilitate energy production and metabolic processes of cells essential for good health.  Depleted levels of nicotinamide adenine (NAD+) can cause a variety of diseases including metabolic disorders, cell death, cognitive decline.  The supplement Life Extension Cell Regenerator and Resveratrol Elite, Niagen nicotinamide, riboside, Trans-resveratrol, quercetin, Fisetin, formulated for longevity, energy, and oxidative stress contains 30 vegetarian capsules.  This longevity nutrient helps fight general fatigue and encourages youthful cognitive function in preclinical studies.
