Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a molecule that exists in every cell in the

body. This co-enzyme is needed for cell viability and function.

• NAD+ is vital for maintaining healthy immune function.

• NAD+ can assist with brain function, DNA repair, and repairing signals between

molecules for cellular communication.

• NAD+ is associated with better blood sugar control and neuroprotective benefits.

• While NAD+ is naturally occurring in the body, we also obtain it by the foods we eat,

specifically those rich in Vitamin B3 and tryptophan.

• NAD+ deficiency was discovered in the early 1900’s by a surgeon who was studying a

condition known as Pellagra. He determined that it was only present in population

groups that did not have access to foods rich in vitamin B3 and tryptophan.

• NAD+ levels in the body naturally start to decline as we age. At around 50, NAD+ levels

are around half of those in young adults and children. While a decline in NAD+ levels

with age is a natural occurrence, certain factors can cause an NAD+ deficiency.
