NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme found in all living cells and plays a central role in cellular energy production and metabolic function. It is essential for converting nutrients from food into usable energy within the mitochondria, the “power plants” of the cell. NAD+ participates in redox (oxidation-reduction) reactions that drive the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of the body. Beyond energy metabolism, NAD+ is also involved in activating enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs, which are linked to DNA repair, cellular stress response, and regulation of aging-related pathways.
