What happens when you have a NAD⁺ deficiency?Updated 3 months ago

NAD⁺ is a vital coenzyme that plays a crucial role in energy production in literally every cell in your body. A deficiency (which occurs naturally as we age) affects the most fundamental cellular processes:

• Reduced energy production due to inefficient conversion of nutrients into usable energy. This is often experienced as reduced energy, chronic fatigue, and a decline in stamina and physical performance.
• NAD⁺ is the fuel for repair enzymes. The deficiency causes these enzymes to become less active. As a result, DNA damage is repaired less efficiently, which can lead to the accumulation of damaged cells and an increased risk of age-related diseases.
• Accelerated ageing and disease: low NAD⁺ levels contribute to many characteristics of ageing
