NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a Coenzyme of vitamin B3 found in every cell in your body that plays a vital role in regulating how quickly your cells age. As we age, our natural NAD+ levels typically decline, meaning that as we grow older our bodies in general and particularly our vital organs are fighting over an ever dwindling supply of NAD+. Which inevitably with age leads to cardiovascular function declining and increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders.
NAD is crucial to converting food into cellular energy, keeping cognitive skills firing, and supporting normal circadian rhythm (sleeping patterns). However, as with many things, ageing and metabolic stresses such as overeating, alcohol consumption, sun radiation can affect our levels of NAD+.
Scientists believe that raising NAD levels could support cellular metabolism, cognition, and ability to respond to stress in order to age better. Some scientists now view ageing as a disease and are even pushing to have it recategorised as such as they believe it is "curable".
A joint UNSW/ Harvard research team made international headlines in March 2017 with a case study that found simple daily supplementation with a derivative of Vitamin B3 was able to effectively extend the life expectancy of mammals by 20%. The mice who received NAD+ in the study were marked with less insulin resistance, less inflammation, less muscle wasting. While they were 22 months old, suddenly their results and markers were at 6 months after the treatment.
NAD+ can have benefits in a range of illnesses and disorders, including; brain health, anti- ageing, addiction therapy and neurodegenerative diseases, with some of the world’s top scientists suggesting that this discovery may be 'on par with that of penicillin'.
NAD+ has been used by corporates and professionals in the business world for well over a decade (in the US and Europe) as it’s been found that the treatment can boost cognitive function, essentially giving professionals an ‘edge’ over the competition at work. However what’s really interesting is the work done in the past 10 years with regards to addiction therapy, especially given that experts now believe that 25 per cent of Australian ice users are from professional industries — including those working in the health and medical industries.
