Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

Meaning

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, commonly abbreviated as NAD+, is an essential coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a central role in metabolism, energy production, and cellular signaling. It exists in two forms, NAD+ (oxidized) and NADH (reduced), cycling between them to facilitate hundreds of redox reactions. Its concentration is a crucial biomarker for cellular vitality and metabolic health, declining significantly with age.
