what is nad+?

NAD+ is a coenzyme, or molecule, found in every living cell, and it plays a vital role in energy metabolism and maintaining proper cell functioning. It is particularly crucial for the functioning of our mitochondria, the power plants in our cells that turn our food and oxygen into energy.

The problem is that our levels of NAD+ decline significantly as we get older, which impairs our mitochondrial functioning and drives the aging process. Underperforming or damaged mitochondria are thought to contribute to a number of age-related health conditions.
