What the research found
BackgroundNicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a major coenzyme critically involved in cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and stress-response signaling. Age-associated decline in NAD+ levels has generated interest in NAD+-augmenting strategies; however, recent large-scale human data indicate that whole-blood NAD+ concentrations do not decline with healthy aging per se. Despite increasing
