What is NAD

What is NAD?

NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. From bacteria to primates, it is one of the most abundant and crucial molecules in cellular metabolism. In fact, without the presence of NAD+, we would probably die in 30 seconds. The molecule is a linchpin to the function of the generators of cells — mitochondria. NAD+ not only helps convert food to energy, but it also plays a crucial role in maintaining DNA integrity. NAD+ ensures the functioning of our defensive genes to help the body and protects us from aging and disease.
