NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme involved in many of the body’s most important cellular functions. It plays a central role in energy production by supporting redox reactions and powering the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which helps generate ATP—the primary energy source for cells. Beyond metabolism, NAD+ also serves as a critical substrate for enzymes such as sirtuins and poly-ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPs), which contribute to DNA repair, gene expression, cellular resilience, and processes associated with healthy aging.
