Concept

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)

A coenzyme present in every cell that is central to energy metabolism, whose levels are a focus of longevity research.

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme found in every cell that is central to energy metabolism and cellular repair. Its levels are thought to decline with age, which underpins the marketing of NAD+ IV drips and precursor supplements. The molecule is well characterised in science; claims that raising it slows human ageing remain unproven.
