Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is one of the most important molecules in the human body. It works as a shuttle, transporting electrons to different cells as both a coenzyme and metabolite as needed. NAD+ has a role in several important biologic and metabolic processes. It works in the mitochondria to help generate new cells, maintain cell functioning, and repair DNA responsible for maintaining a healthy metabolism, in turn slowing down the aging process.
 
What are the Benefits of NAD+?
NAD+ is a fuel for our bodies and increasing the level of NAD+ in the body can help with a variety of health concerns. NAD+ is necessary to generate new healthy cells and maintain their function to protect the body from aging and disease. Cell generation also gives the body more energy, increasing your health and lifespan. NAD+ can limit your risk of the following conditions:
Accelerated Aging
NAD+ can slow down the aging process by encouraging cell function and regeneration of new cells when existing cells degenerate. NAD+ also helps with DNA repair which has been shown to increase the lifespan of animals in clinical trials. Damaged DNA and mitochondrial dysfunction are closely linked as causes of rapid aging and age-related diseases.
Heart Disease
NAD+ can protect the cells in the heart and maintain the elasticity of the arteries. The arteries act as a buffer against the pressure waves created by your heartbeat. As people age, the arteries harden decreasing elasticity and ease of blood flow. This causes increases in blood pressure which enlarges the heart and leaves people at risk for cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and stroke.
Muscle Function
NAD+ acts as a main player in proper mitochondrial function, necessary for muscle contraction and exercise performance. Since NAD+ has a role in energy conversion, it can boost stamina while exercising, promoting the growth of lean muscle mass to keep your body healthy.
ESPAÑOL BENEFICIOS NAD+
Aunque su efecto más significativo es detener este envejecimiento, también se demostró que es una molécula que influye directamente en la sensibilidad a la insulina, regula la biogénesis mitocondrial y aumenta la producción de sirtuinas.
Con el descubrimiento de estos grandes beneficios, el NR es capaz de:
Aumentar los niveles de la coenzima NAD+ que mejoran la energía y su producción en las mitocondrias.
Conseguir una mayor producción de las enzimas sirtuinas para mantener un régimen hipocalórico adecuado, sin necesidad de hacer una actividad física.
Regular el metabolismo ATP (trifosfato de adenosina), por lo que quema una mayor cantidad de calorías en reposo, muy recomendado para aquellos con sobrepeso.
Optimizar el rendimiento muscular, ya que incrementa la oxidación de ácidos grasos en el cuerpo.
Proteger los órganos del estrés oxidativo y la agresión en sus tejidos.
