What the research shows
NAD+ is critical for cellular metabolism and energy production, playing a pivotal role in mitochondrial function. Research has shown that NAD+ supplementation can enhance sirtuin activity, which is linked to longevity and cellular repair processes. Studies, including those examining its role in oxidative phosphorylation, have demonstrated its importance in maintaining cellular health under stress conditions. While much of the current research is preclinical, the implications for NAD+ in aging and metabolic regulation are profound, warranting further investigation in controlled settings.
