Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It is a dinucleotide composed of two combined nucleotides joined by their phosphate groups, with one nucleotide containing an adenine base and the other a nicotinamide base. NAD exists in two forms: NAD+ (oxidized) and NADH (reduced).
NAD+ is a critical coenzyme involved in hundreds of cellular processes. As NAD+ levels decline with age, it plays an increasingly important role in maintaining cellular health. Within brain cells, NAD+ helps regulate PGC-1-alpha protein production, which protects cells against oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.
As a "helper molecule," NAD+ binds to enzymes like sirtuins to activate essential biological processes. The natural decline of NAD+ production with age contributes to aging effects and increased susceptibility to age-related conditions.
