NAD Boosters: Enhancing Cellular Energy

NAD boosters, such as NR and NMN, play a crucial role in maintaining cellular energy levels. These molecules, which are naturally occurring, help transfer hydrogen atoms and support the activation of sirtuins, defensive enzymes that protect against aging. Animal studies have shown that NR and NMN can extend lifespan, improve mitochondrial function, and reduce inflammation. Human studies have also demonstrated increased NAD levels and reduced inflammation with NR supplementation. While more research is needed, these NAD boosters show promising potential for enhancing cellular energy and overall health.
