β-NAD

Common Name NAD+
Nature Naturally occurring coenzyme found in all living cells
Scientific Name Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (β-NAD)
Source found in small amounts in foods such as fish, poultry, and whole grains
Part Used Cellular coenzyme involved in metabolic reactions

  • Benefits

    • Cellular Energy Production: β-NAD plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism by supporting biochemical reactions that convert nutrients into usable cellular energy (ATP). (1)
    • DNA Repair and Maintenance: NAD+ supports enzymes involved in DNA repair processes, helping maintain genomic stability and normal cellular function. (2)
    • Healthy Aging Support: NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. Supporting NAD+ availability may help maintain cellular health and metabolic balance associated with healthy aging. (3)
    • Antioxidant and Cellular Protection: β-NAD participates in cellular defense mechanisms that help protect cells from oxidative stress and support mitochondrial function.  (1)
    • Metabolic Function: NAD+ supports normal metabolic pathways involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, contributing to overall metabolic health. (4)

  • β-NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

    β-NAD, commonly known as NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), is an essential coenzyme present in every living cell and plays a fundamental role in cellular metabolism and energy production. It acts as an electron carrier in biochemical reactions that convert nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy source for cellular functions. NAD+ is also required for the activity of key enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs, which are involved in DNA repair, cellular stress responses, and metabolic regulation.

    As NAD+ levels naturally decline with age and metabolic stress, maintaining optimal NAD+ availability has become an important focus in nutritional science and healthy aging research. NAD+ precursors, including NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside), are widely studied for their potential to support cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and overall cellular resilience.
