Deep dives

NAD+ and Aging

Aging is associated with a decrease in NAD+ levels in the body, which plays a critical role in cellular energy production. Studies have shown that older individuals tend to have lower muscle NAD+ levels compared to younger individuals. However, engaging in regular exercise, especially resistance training, can help restore NAD+ levels in muscles. Inflammation, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle can contribute to the decline in NAD+ levels. It is important to maintain a balanced NAD+ status, combining strategies to boost NAD+ levels, such as taking niacinamide or NAD precursors, with defensive measures to prevent NAD+ degradation.
