The Connection Between NAD+ and Mitochondrial Health

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of cells and play a vital role in maintaining overall health and well-being. They are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP, which is used by cells to carry out various functions. Recent research has shown a strong connection between NAD+ levels and mitochondrial health.

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell in the body and is essential for cellular metabolism, DNA repair, and energy production. As we age, NAD+ levels decrease, leading to various age-related diseases and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Studies have shown that supplementation with NAD+ can increase mitochondrial function and improve energy metabolism (Liu et al., 2020). This is due to the role of NAD+ in regulating the activity of sirtuins, a group of proteins that play a crucial role in mitochondrial health and longevity.

In a study published in the Journal of Aging Research & Clinical Practice, researchers found that supplementation with NAD+ resulted in improved mitochondrial function, reduced oxidative stress, and increased lifespan in mice (Liu et al., 2020).

Furthermore, NAD+ supplementation has been shown to have potential benefits in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as in metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes (Zhang et al., 2019).

It’s important to note that the body’s ability to synthesize NAD+ decreases with age, making supplementation increasingly necessary to maintain optimal levels.
