NAD+ Therapy: Cellular Energy and Longevity

February 28, 2026

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a fundamental role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which has led researchers to investigate whether restoring NAD+ levels could support healthy aging.

Why NAD+ Declines With Age

By middle age, NAD+ levels can drop to roughly half of what they were in youth. This decline is associated with reduced mitochondrial function, impaired DNA repair capacity, metabolic changes, and decreased cellular energy production.

What NAD+ Therapy May Support

Research into NAD+ supplementation and therapy has explored its potential role in supporting mitochondrial function and cellular energy, cognitive clarity and neurological health, DNA repair mechanisms, and metabolic health optimization.
