Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is a quite a mouthful for any scientist so it’s often easier to refer to it as NAD+. NAD+ has over 500 different jobs in our bodies from energy production, DNA repair, optimal cellular function, & cognition to name a few. Like most things, levels significantly decline as we age leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and fatigue. Supplementation with NAD+ products abound in today’s market as Optimal Longevity is a target for many of us.
An ongoing debate with leading nutritional supplement manufacturers is how to best achieve this goal with a precursor molecule. Currently the 2 priority ingredients depending on which scientific board you consult and/or follow, gives us options of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN). While NR may have the lead slightly due to more published research on efficacy and being a smaller molecule to easily enter the cell, the jury is still out on how this will all play out. Whichever molecule you resonate or use, always be sure to use a professional or high-quality brand to ensure production, performance & results.
