• NAD+ sits at the center of all metabolic processes, regulating glucose, building, & breaking down substances
• Mainstream interest in NAD+ surged after Dr. David Sinclair’s book Lifespan hit shelves around 2017
• NAD+ levels drop every decade, leading to less energy & slower cellular repair with age
• Sun exposure both helps & harms Too much damages DNA & drains NAD+ through increased repair demands
• Chronic inflammation & DNA damage reduce NAD+ levels faster, causing energy loss & fatigue
• Oral NAD+ precursors boost cellular energy more efficiently than IV NAD+ for daily health with fewer side effects
• Good sleep, regular exercise, & healthy habits maintain NAD+ levels, slowing aging & improving performance
