NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a crucial coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a central role in energy metabolism, cellular repair, and aging. Here’s a breakdown of its key benefits, especially in the context of health and wellness:

🔋 1. Energy Production
• NAD is essential for converting food into cellular energy (ATP) through mitochondrial function.
• It acts as a cofactor in redox reactions, transferring electrons during the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

🧠 2. Brain Function & Cognitive Health
• Supports neurotransmitter function and mental clarity.
• May help improve focus, memory, and protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
• Promotes neuronal repair through activation of sirtuins and DNA repair enzymes.

🧬 3. Anti-Aging & Longevity
• NAD activates sirtuins (SIRT1–7), a group of proteins linked to:
• DNA repair
• Inflammation reduction
• Mitochondrial health
• Higher NAD levels are associated with slower cellular aging and better metabolic regulation.

🔄 4. DNA Repair & Cellular Defense
• NAD fuels enzymes like PARPs, which repair damaged DNA.
• Plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, inflammation, and toxin exposure.

💪 5. Muscle Health & Physical Performance
• Supports muscle regeneration and recovery.
• May improve endurance, strength, and exercise capacity, especially in aging individuals.

🌿 6. Metabolic & Immune Support
• Regulates insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism, and fat oxidation.
• Enhances immune function, possibly improving response to infections and chronic inflammation.

Obesity is a preventable and curable disease. Call to start your weight loss journey today.

Obesity can put you at risk.

People with obesity are more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems, including:

Heart disease and strokes. Obesity makes you more likely to have high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol levels, which are risk factors for heart disease and strokes.
Type 2 diabetes. Obesity can affect the way the body uses insulin to control blood sugar levels. This raises the risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.
Certain cancers. Obesity may increase the risk of cancer of the uterus, cervix, endometrium, o***y, breast, colon, re**um, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney and prostate.
Digestive problems. Obesity increases the likelihood of developing heartburn, gallbladder disease and liver problems.
Sleep apnea. People with obesity are more likely to have sleep apnea, a potentially serious disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
Osteoarthritis. Obesity increases the stress placed on weight-bearing joints. It also promotes inflammation, which includes swelling, pain and a feeling of heat within the body. These factors may lead to complications such as osteoarthritis.
Fatty liver disease. Obesity increases the risk of fatty liver disease, a condition that happens due to excessive fat deposit in the liver. In some cases, this can lead to serious liver damage, known as liver cirrhosis.
