“Conclusion NAD+ mediates multiple physiological processes, such as energy metabolism, DNA repair, and immune activation. Without NAD+, life would cease to exist. As we age, NAD+ levels fall, driving age progression and age-related diseases.”

“In an eight-week randomized trial of 140 overweight adults, 100, 300, and 1,000 milligrams of NR per day increased whole-blood NAD by 22, 51, and 142 percent, respectively. Human trials show that NR can raise circulating NAD metabolites, but clinical outcomes depend on the population and endpoint.”

“Acutely, Nam had the strongest transient effect on the whole‐blood NAD metabolome, consistent with fast absorption/metabolism. Ex vivo fermentation suggested NR and NMN generate nicotinic acid (NA) and selectively enhance microbial growth/metabolism.”

“Future research will likely elucidate other techniques for – and the feasibility of – direct NAD+ delivery. Conclusion NAD+, a molecule that participates in a myriad of metabolic and physiological processes, is crucial for our survival.”

“Boosting levels of NAD+ has been shown to improve lifespan and healthspan in animal models of premature aging and in humans. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair describes the NAD+ salvage pathway and how boosting cellular NAD+ levels may be beneficial in slowing aging.”

“In a simple analogy, NAD+ is the fuel in a car that the sirtuins are driving. To carry that analogy a bit further, resveratrol, a plant-based molecule found in red grapes and peanuts, acts as an accelerator to enhance the activity of the fuel – NAD+.”

“Modulating NAD+ levels and the pathways in which it plays a role may be the key to extending healthspan and lifespan. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair describes the role of NAD+ in the regulation of the body's circadian clock and sirtuin production.”

“This serves as a distraction to sirtuins, however, ultimately drawing them away from their primary role. In the end, the cell experiences a sort of "identity crisis," unable to perform its original job, leading to aging. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair explains why NAD+ levels decrease with age.”

“These boosters enhance cerebral blood flow, mimicking exercise and promoting regrowth of the aging cerebral vascular system. In this clip, Dr. David Sinclair and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the brain health benefits associated with NAD+ boosters.”

“Two NAD+ precursors, nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide, have been shown to ameliorate age-associated diseases in animals. They are well-tolerated at high doses and effectively raise NAD+ levels.”
