NAD+
NAD+
NAD+ is the molecule your cells need to turn food into energy. Levels drop steeply with age — that's why it's been at the center of longevity research for the past decade.
How NAD+ Works
A deeper look for the curious
For readers who want the full mechanism — feel free to skim.
NAD+ is a molecule every cell needs to turn food into energy. It also fuels a family of proteins called sirtuins — central players in DNA repair, metabolism, and how cells age. Levels drop by roughly half between ages 40 and 60, which is why it's such a hot target in longevity research.
