Have you heard of NAD? It is short for Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NAD is a coenzyme that is present in every cell in the body. One of the most exciting aspects of NAD is its potential to extend lifespan!
New research shows that NAD can protect our bodies from aging and disease. It does so by directly silencing or turning off genes of enzymes that accelerate aging such as inflammation, fat storage, and blood sugar control. The enzymes that regulate the genes of aging are called sirtuins and rely on NAD to function. Studies show that supporting NAD levels result in extended lifespan, increased energy, improved physical performance, and enhanced cognition.
A decline in NAD during aging is believed to be a major cause of disease and disability, such as hearing and vision loss, cognitive and motor dysfunction, immune deficiencies, auto-immunity, and dysregulation of the inflammatory response leading to arthritis, metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease.
When NAD levels decline, the transport of energy between cells breaks down. Low levels of NAD cause metabolic dysfunction which is associated with a cascade of conditions detrimental to health.
Factor That Decrease NAD:
- Chronic Inflammation
- Inadequate Sleep
- Overeating
- High Blood Sugar
- Alcohol
Luckily, there are ways to mitigate decreasing NAD levels and to support the production of NAD. Typically anything that promotes mitochondrial function or sirtuin activity will have a positive impact on NAD.
How to Increase NAD Levels:
So how can you increase your NAD levels? There are a variety of ways to do so, including through diet and exercise. Foods that are high in niacin, such as chicken and fish can help to boost NAD levels. Exercise has also been shown to increase NAD levels, particularly high-intensity interval training.
The most effective way to increase NAD levels is through supplementation. We offer NAD in the form of injectable peptides!
Live longer with NAD! If you would like to learn more about NAD or are interested in supplementing with NAD please contact us!
