Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide and is a coenzyme that is one of the most vital nutrients we need to survive. This coenzyme works by transferring electrons from one molecule to another within cells to carry out reactions and processes. Low levels of NAD mean our cells can’t generate energy to survive and carry out their functions. NAD encourages new connections in the brain that improve mood, focus, mental clarity and leave you feeling calm and happy.

As we get older, we lose NAD. By  the time you’re 50, you have about half the level you had when you were 20. Low levels of NAD is associated with age-related disease, decreased metabolic function, decreased brain health and decreased energy.
