NAD+, Superfood for the Cells

What is NAD+?

Often referred to as the “anti-aging molecule,” NAD+ has become a hot topic in research and the world of health and wellness…let’s find out why. NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide – it is a coenzyme that’s found in all cells (mostly in mitochondria) of the body. A coenzyme is required for enzymes to complete reactions. Remember that enzymes, reactions, and other ‘sciencey’ terms are all part of biochemistry, or the science of life. At the biochemical level, life is really just an insane amount of biochemical reactions occurring every second of everyday. NAD+ is known to be involved in over 500+ biochemical pathways in the body! It is one of the most abundant and critical molecules on the planet – without it, there would be no life.
