Lexington Living Highlight: Anti-Aging’s Best Kept Secret!
Imagine being able to optimize your body's own natural chemistry to boost energy, sharpen your mind, and slow down aging. Well you're in luck: Meet NAD+! NAD+ is the powerhouse molecule your body can't live without!
What is NAD+ and why should you care?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme that fuels your body at a cellular level. This is the ultimate power source of your mitochondria. Your mitochondria is the power plant of the cell that gives it all the energy to function at its highest potential.
But here's the kicker: NAD+ levels decline as we age. The fatigue felt by all of your cells when its powerhouse is depleted leads to you feeling depleted. This is part of the reason we feel sluggish, recover slower, and start to see visible signs of aging. Low NAD+ is linked to faster aging, brain fog, and metabolic slowdowns.
The amazing benefits of boosting NAD+
So why are biohackers, athletes, and longevity experts obsessed with NAD+? The answer: Who wouldn't be, with all the amazing benefits it provides?! It provides a steady flow of energy throughout the day. No more 3 p.m. slump deciding if coffee is still an option.
More energy to your cells from more NAD+ means more energy for you. You will notice improved focus, memory, and mental clarity. Many people feel a boost in mood, especially during the winter months. This could be a great addition to anyone suffering from seasonal affective disorder. NAD+ also supports muscle recovery, fat burning, and insulin sensitivity.
Last but certainly not least, NAD+ helps repair DNA by activating anti-aging proteins called sirtuins. Sirtuins are our body's own anti-inflammatory protein. So not only do we look better and feel better, but we move better.
How do we get more NAD+?
The most common method is oral supplementation. It is a convenient daily option, though absorption rates can vary. With consistency, it can be a very effective option. The most direct route is IV infusion, which delivers NAD+ directly through your bloodstream-although not always convenient, it's extremely effective. The happy medium between these two options is injection. NAD+ can be given IM (intramuscular) and SQ (subcutaneous). It is quick, convenient, and very effective.
NAD+ could be the ultimate reset for your body and your new best friend!
