NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
Scientific Profile
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in all living cells, consisting of two nucleotides joined through phosphate groups. In vitro studies demonstrate its critical role in redox reactions as an electron carrier in metabolic processes.
Research indicates NAD+ serves as substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38 enzymes, influencing various cellular processes including DNA repair, circadian rhythm, and mitochondrial function. Animal models show that NAD+ supplementation can activate sirtuin pathways and improve metabolic parameters.
