Read full storyDo we need to supplement with expensive NADH nutrients?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+/NADH) has been implicated in potentially promoting healthspan and lifespan based on extensive research since the 1990s. During my studies in the 1990s, I explored the function of NAD molecules. I discovered that the NADH coenzyme is critical in regulating metabolism, particularly within the mitochondria, which are the cells' energy factories. NADH provides electrons crucial for converting food into energy. Maintaining an optimal level of NADH is essential for DNA repair and promoting cellular function and health.
