Overview
Serves as substrate for sirtuins, PARP enzymes, and CD38; declines with age and inflammation.
Proposed mechanism
NAD+ is a crucial coenzyme in redox reactions, sirtuin activation, and PARP-mediated DNA repair that declines with age.
What the evidence supports
Human data exists but the trials are small, short-term, or not yet replicated.
Graded Human-limited
Human data that exists but is thin: open-label work, single-arm studies, small cohorts, or observational follow-up without randomisation.
