The potential benefits of increasing NAD levels include the following:
- For sleep and circadian rhythms 💤: NAD helps to regulate and control circadian function in the body, helping to keep daily bio rhythms on track and in sync. NAD helps the body’s circadian system communicate with cells, specifically about mitochondrial—or energy producing activity.
- For neuro-protection 🧠: NAD is prominently involved in maintaining the health of brain cells. NAD stimulates production of a protein—PGC-1-alpha that protects against damage to the cells of the brain. Studies have demonstrated that supplements that increase NAD elevate the production
of that neuroprotective protein, and limit the production of the damaging beta-amyloid proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as the neurological damage associated with Parkinson’s disease. Research has shown increasing NAD can improve memory.
- For physical strength and endurance 💪: NAD has the potential to increase stamina and physical endurance, provide more strength to muscles and
also help them function better.
- For cardiovascular health ❤️: Diminishing NAD levels are a cause of vascular aging. A number of studies in animals show that supplements that increase NAD benefit the health and function of the cardiovascular system, including reducing stiffness and restoring better, more youthful functioning to arteries, reducing inflammation, and encouraging the growth of new blood
vessels. Research in middle aged and older adults has shown that NAD supplements can lower blood pressure and reduce aortic stiffness, both of which elevate risk for heart attack and other age-related cardiovascular conditions.
- Reduction of inflammatory processes 💊: An extensive body of evidence indicates that oxidative stress and inflammation play a central role in the degenerative changes of systemic tissues in aging. High levels of
oxidative damage results in key cellular changes including a reduction in available NAD.
