WHAT IS NAD+?
Detailed overview
NAD+ is a key redox cofactor and sirtuin substrate. Its age-related decline drives interest in IV anti-ageing protocols; oral precursors (NMN, NR) are more practical.

Cellular renewal
The peptide acts on several aging fundamentals: telomerase activation slows telomere shortening; oxidative stress drops (Nrf2 / glutathione system); gene-expression patterns epigenetically normalize. Mitochondrial energy production improves, tissue-specific stem-cell activity is supported. On skin: collagen I/III synthesis rises, wrinkle depth shrinks, hydration and elasticity improve. Long-term, biomarkers (CRP, glucose, lipids) show younger patterns and epigenetic age can slow.
Metabolic support
Glucose and lipid metabolism shift favorably: insulin sensitivity improves, glycemic swings and HbA1c drop, while LDL and triglycerides normalize. Body composition refines, fat mass decreases, lean mass is preserved or grows. Appetite is regulated both centrally and peripherally (GLP-1 / GIP / glucagon pathways), so caloric intake settles into a sustainable range without constant willpower. Energy expenditure and thermogenesis rise modestly.
