In recent years, "NAD+" has frequently appeared in many top - tier SCI academic journals and is regarded as a historic step for humanity in the exploration of fighting aging and extending lifespan. Since the first discovery of the NAD+ component in 1934, the "reversing effect" of this molecule on cellular aging has been continuously confirmed through a series of scientific experiments.
NAD+, the full name of which is "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide", plays a vital role in the energy production of body cells and thousands of reactions. Between the ages of 40 and 60, the level of NAD+ in the human body will decrease by 60%, and the reduction of NAD+ in our body is closely related to our aging.
About 37 trillion cells that make up our body each rely on NAD+ to perform their functions and maintain the normal operation of the body. If there is no NAD+ in the body, the heart will be unable to pump blood through veins, the lungs will be unable to inhale air, and the neurons in the brain will not be activated. Without this vital molecule, the important organs of the body will not be able to work normally. The role of NAD+ in the body is just like the fuel in a car, ensuring the smooth operation of the engine.
In the article Potential Synergistic Supplementation of NAD+ - Promoting Compounds as a Strategy to Increase Healthspan, Professor Alastair from the Institute of Translational Medicine, ETH Zurich, pointed out that the deficiency of NAD+ is one of the main causes of aging. This aging phenomenon will increase the threat to healthspan and promote the risk of diseases such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegeneration. As people age, the level of NAD+ in the human body will gradually decrease. So how should ordinary people supplement NAD+?
It is recommended to consume foods rich in niacin (vitamin B3), such as fish, poultry, nuts, and green leafy vegetables. However, the effect of supplementing through food is relatively limited and needs to be combined with a healthy lifestyle.
Maintaining regular physical exercise, ensuring adequate sleep time, and reducing life stress all help to maintain normal NAD+ levels. However, as age increases, the level of NAD+ decline in the body will become more and more significant.
Taking NAD+ supplements directly can effectively increase the content of NAD+ in the body, which is the most effective and direct method. It should be noted that no matter which way is chosen to take NAD+, one should pay attention to selecting the most suitable intake method for their own physical condition and carefully identify among numerous NAD+ products. Only in this way can we ensure that while pursuing health, unnecessary risks and wastes are avoided.
