The Importance of NAD-plus in Aging

NAD-plus is a crucial molecule that plays a significant role in cellular energy production, DNA maintenance, and overall cellular function. As people age, particularly after age 50, their NAD-plus levels can fall to about half of what they were at age 20, which negatively impacts health and vitality. A new supplement, Qualia NAD Plus, claims to enhance NAD-plus levels by up to 50% through ingredients like niacin and niacinamide. This boost in NAD-plus is considered vital for promoting health and preventing age-related declines in cellular function.
