What is NAD+ therapy?

Full answer

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme required for mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, and sirtuin activity. NAD+ levels decline with age, and the working hypothesis driving NAD+ therapy is that restoring NAD+ availability supports cellular function and mitigates aspects of cellular aging. Delivery options include injectable NAD+ (the most efficient at raising serum levels), IV infusions, and oral precursors (nicotinamide riboside, NMN), which raise NAD+ indirectly through salvage pathways. Clinical evidence is encouraging but still maturing. oMeds provider review individualizes route and dose, typically pairing NAD+ with broader longevity-pathway markers.
