Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
Commonly chosen for: Energy, mental clarity, recovery
What it is
NAD+ is a helper molecule every cell needs to turn food into usable energy. It also switches on the enzymes that repair DNA and keep metabolism running properly. Levels fall substantially with age, which is part of why energy drops as we get older. Technically it's a coenzyme rather than a peptide, but it's prescribed alongside peptide therapies.
How it works
NAD+ is a helper molecule every cell needs to turn food into usable energy inside the mitochondria.
It is also the fuel for the enzymes that repair DNA and regulate metabolism, so when levels fall, several systems slow at once.
Levels drop substantially with age, which is part of why energy fades. Technically it is a coenzyme rather than a peptide, but it is prescribed alongside peptide therapies.
Who it's typically for
- People whose energy is flat despite reasonable sleep and diet.
- People focused on mental clarity through the day.
- People adding cellular support to a recovery or longevity plan.
