NAD+ Wellness Shot

What is NAD+

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, or NAD+ is a vital molecule which is found in every single cell in the body. It is involved in various cellular processes and is essential for energy metabolism, DNA repair and cellular function. It acts as both an electron transporter and a substrate for enzymes involved in cellular function.

 

As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, by age 40 they have declined by 50%. Declining NAD+ levels are linked to various age related health conditions as well as the overall ageing process. By boosting NAD+ levels, cells can potentially be rejuvenated and age related conditions can be arrested and even reversed. NAD+ supplementation can replenish dwindling NAD+ levels and offer benefits such as:
