Reducing Inflammation: NAD+ produces anti-inflammatory effects during an infectious process. According to several studies, the expression of inflammatory markers diminishes significantly when there are high cellular levels of NAD+ and its precursors reported.

Repairing DNA: Our body has its own process of protecting its Cellular DNA from damage, known as DNA-Damage Response (or DDR). DDR is highly dependent on NAD+. When our NAD+ levels drop, the chances of Cellular DNA damage go up. Meaning, NAD+ helps protect and repair the DNA in our bodies.

Energy Metabolism: The presence of NAD+ is required in each of our bodies’ energy metabolic pathways for them to function properly. These pathways often result in the release of energy. Low NAD+ levels in the body could negatively impact these pathways thus impairing the effectiveness by which energy is generated and utilized by our body. While higher levels of NAD+ can help boost your energy and keep you running for longer.

Cardiovascular Functions: Numerous studies have proven that normal levels of NAD+ are essential in maintaining the metabolic activity of the heart. It’s also been shown that steady levels of NAD+ can help in the recovery from a major cardiac event or injury.

Neurological Functions: Normal levels of NAD+ can have a protective effect on the neurons in our brains after a stroke or other significant neurological event. NAD+ supplements have also shown some benefits in treating and/or preventing some diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Though this data is not definite, the studies are still ongoing.
