Benefits of NAD+
The potential benefits of NAD+ have been widely researched, with many studies showing promising results, including the following:
Anti-aging: Combats wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.

How NAD+ Works
NAD+ as Coenzyme
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that is involved in many cellular processes, including metabolism, DNA repair, and cell signaling.
DNA Repair
NAD+ plays a crucial role in DNA repair. When DNA is damaged, enzymes called PARPs use NAD+ to add ADP-ribose groups to proteins, which helps recruit other proteins involved in repairing the DNA damage.
Gene Expression
NAD+ is involved in cell signaling pathways. For example, it is a substrate for enzymes called sirtuins, which are involved in regulating gene expression, metabolism, and aging.
