Cellular Fuel: NAD+ is a natural coenzyme found in every living cell that helps convert
food into energy inside mitochondria.
DNA Repair & Sirtuins: It fuels repair enzymes (PARPs) and proteins linked to stress
response and longevity (Sirtuins).
Natural Decline: NAD+ levels naturally drop by about half as people reach middle age.
2. The Reality Behind NAD Products
Direct NAD+ Pills & Drips: Taking direct NAD+ molecules orally or via IV is largely
ineffective because the molecule is too large to pass intact through cell membranes. IV infusions ($200 to
$1,000) also lack rigorous clinical data and can trigger side effects like nausea, headaches, and
flushing.
Precursors (NR & NMN): Smaller precursor molecules like Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) easily enter cells and convert into NAD+. Human studies show they reliably
raise blood NAD+ levels, though large-scale clinical proof for anti-aging or extended life in humans is
still missing.
