ANECDOTE

B3 Deficiency History

NAD+ history links to vitamin B3 deficiency, causing issues like diarrhea, dermatitis, and dementia.
Early 1900s, corn-based diets lacked bioavailable B3, solved by traditional alkali soaking techniques.

INSIGHT

NAD+ Redox Roles

NAD+ acts as a redox molecule, essential for carrying electrons to mitochondria for ATP production.
NAD+ exists in various forms (NAD+, NADH, NADP+, NADPH) with specific redox functions.

INSIGHT

NAD+ and Aging

Historically, NAD+'s redox role was its primary function.
A healthy NAD+/NADH ratio is crucial, with NAD+ levels declining and NADH rising with age.
