Episode notes
NAD+ Metabolome Analogy
- Think of NAD+ as a central airport hub in your cells, with related molecules like NR and NMN as smaller feeder airports.
- The goal is to ensure smooth passenger flow throughout the NAD+ metabolome, supporting various cellular functions.
NAD+ Absorption
- NAD+ is a large molecule, making it challenging to get it intact into cells, even with IVs.
- Some scientists believe NAD+ needs to be broken down into smaller molecules like NR to enter cells effectively.
Redundancy in NAD+ Production
- Cells have redundant pathways for creating NAD+ to ensure this crucial molecule is available.
- Different NAD+ precursors like NR, NMN, and niacinamide utilize slightly different pathways, offering diverse entry points.
