NAD Check

£145

NAD+ is a key molecule that helps your body turn food into energy, repair DNA, and keep cells functioning properly. Its levels naturally decline with age, which can affect energy, muscle strength, brain function, and overall health. Supporting healthy NAD+ levels may help maintain vitality and slow some age-related changes.

What is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (N.A.D)?

NAD is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism, especially in processes like energy production and DNA repair.

Lower NAD levels may indicate potential health issues like:

Reduced energy production: Leading to fatigue and decreased stamina.
Impaired DNA repair: Increasing the risk of cellular damage and ageing.
Neurodegenerative disorders: Linked to conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

What's included

NAD Level Decline (Rate of Ageing)

Age and sex-related NAD decline refers to the reduction in NAD+ levels as humans age, with differences observed between males and females. Studies show that NAD+ concentration decreases with age, though the exact rate of decline isn't always calculated. Women generally have higher NAD+ levels compared to men, but this difference lessens over time. This topic is emerging in research, but offers potential for understanding ageing and developing new treatments. Ranges are based on the following study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8979162/

NAD

NAD does not occur directly in food. However, the building blocks for NAD, which are vitamins and amino acids, can be found in various foods. These building blocks are then absorbed by the body and converted into NAD through metabolic processes.
