It plays a central role in ATP generation, metabolic efficiency, and activation of longevity-related pathways such as sirtuins and PARPs. Research interest in NAD⁺ centers on its involvement in cellular aging, energy resilience, cognitive performance, and metabolic health. Rather than acting as a stimulant, NAD⁺ supports the foundational energy systems of the cell, making it a key focus in studies of recovery, stress adaptation, and long-term cellular maintenance when combined with supportive lifestyle behaviors. 💬 Main Community Thread Below Post questions, studies, observations, or insights related to NAD⁺ research below.
