Human-limitedNAD+ precursor for cellular energy and repair

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Riboside)

NAD+ precursor for cellular energy & DNA repair.

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.
