What is
NAD+?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
NAD is the short form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The molecule is a coenzyme found in almost every cell of an organism. A coenzyme is a small organic molecule that works with an enzyme to start a chemical reaction. NAD is needed for over 500 of these enzymatic reactions in the human body, according to one study. There, it acts on molecular longevity pathways and interacts with sirtuins as well as the PARP gene family.

Why is the NAD level so important?
With increasing age, the NAD level in the organism drops dramatically. (R) Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide deficiency or low NAD play a significant role in five out of nine hallmarks of aging. Epigenetic changes, loss of proteostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence and deregulated nutrient measurement.
What are the benefits of high NAD? The list is long and everything revolves around the central concept of energy. Among other things, NAD promotes memory, muscle function, the cardiovascular system, supports detoxification and protects against infections.

Increase your NAD level, through ...
Presumably, some are already pondering the important question of whether - and if so, how - one can keep NAD levels high even in old age?
Just as there are different hypotheses for age-related NAD decline, there are also different approaches to maintaining NAD+ levels. We will discuss this so-called NAD boosting in the following article: What is NAD
... Activation of enzymes that produce NAD+.
This is done, for example, by taking a molecule called resveratrol. With dozens of publications and clinical studies, resveratrol is considered one of the best-studied molecules used as a health supplement. Resveratrol activates the longevity proteins sirtuins as well as AMPK - the longevity pathways in our body that are responsible for making NAD.
... Inhibition of NAD degradation.
In the context of inhibition of degradation, CD38 and PARP1 inhibitors are discussed. Apigenin and quercetin are natural CD38 inhibitors. Both molecules can increase cellular NAD+ levels and have also shown positive metabolic effects in one study. (R) Similar results have been shown by scientific studies for PARP1 inhibitors.
Your first step!
Increasing NAD levels has been shown in studies to improve healthspan.(R, R) But there has never been a way to easily and accurately measure NAD ...
Until now! Determine your NAD level with MoleQlar's NAD test. Take control of your healthspan and order the only European developed NAD test on the market.
The dry blood test is easy to perform and requires only a few droplets of blood from your fingertip. A small, painless prick is sufficient. Needle or syringe phobias are therefore no obstacle for the NAD test.

A distinction is made between two different types of NAD:
Intracellular NAD - as the name suggests, this is found inside our cells. The majority of NAD resides inside the cell where it was originally produced until it reaches its reaction site. The literature best describes the crucial role of NAD in the intracellular space.
Extracellular NAD - compared to intracellular NAD, this NAD is found outside the cell in plasma, saliva and other body fluids where it circulates freely in the body. Extracellular NAD accounts for only 5-10 percent of total NAD.
The benefits are multiple and vary depending on the individual and health status. The following improvements have been described(R, R, R):
Improved energy production: NAD+ is involved in energy production in cells, and higher NAD+ levels can help the body produce more energy, potentially combating fatigue.
Improved mental performance: NAD+ also plays an important role in brain cell function, and higher NAD+ levels may improve mental performance by enhancing communication between brain cells and promoting memory and concentration.
Reduced aging processes: Some studies have shown that optimal NAD+ levels can help slow aging processes and improve tissue and organ health.
Improved metabolic functions: NAD+ also plays an important role in various metabolic processes in the body, such as the formation of ATP , the cells' "universal energy supplier." Higher NAD+ levels can therefore help the body produce energy more effectively and improve metabolic processes.
This also results in the following advantages:
- Increased energy
- Increased performance
- Better sleep
- Reduced muscle and joint pain
- Strengthened immune defense against infections
- Reduced inflammation
- Reduced insulin resistance
- Improved liver function etc.
However, it is important to note that the effects of NAD+ on the body are not yet fully understood and further studies are needed to further investigate the potential benefits of NAD+.
Dozens of different precursors to NAD deficiency have been described.(R, R) Low NAD+ levels can lead to several symptoms, including:
- Fatigue and exhaustion
- Weakness and lack of energy
- Memory problems and difficulty thinking
- Depression and mood swings
- Skin problems like dry skin and hair loss
- Decreased performance and ability to concentrate
- Poor general health
- Past or current illnesses
However, it is important to note that these symptoms can also indicate other health problems and should therefore always be clarified by a doctor. There are also other factors that can affect NAD+ levels in the body, such as age, diet, and lifestyle. Therefore, it is important that NAD+ levels are determined as part of a comprehensive medical examination to identify and target possible causes of symptoms.
In principle, an NAD test should take place before starting supplementation to determine your natural laboratory values. If you have already started supplementation with an NAD booster, you can check the effect with an NAD test. To do this, take the usual dosage of supplements one last time the day before. On the following day (= test day) perform the intracellular NAD blood test. Subsequently, the supplementation can be continued with the usual dosage.
Already at the age of 20 to 30 years, the NAD level starts to decrease rapidly in many people. In addition, there are several risk factors for low NAD levels. These include disease, suboptimal health, alcohol, nutrient deficiencies, or increased inflammation in the body. Therefore, it is helpful to determine one's health status by using the NAD test.
If necessary, you can adjust the NAD level and track the development and progression of your personal NAD level through follow-up testing. If you change your lifestyle or the dosage of your supplements, it is recommended to perform a control test. It is important that the value should be in the optimal, green range. Toxicity due to high NAD levels are extremely rare and occur mainly in people with intravenous NAD infusions or excessive NAD supplementation.
If your NAD level is in the optimal green range and you do not change your lifestyle, it is a good idea to check your NAD levels every 3 to 6 months.
Vision
from MoleQlar.
Your time is now.
With increasing age, your NAD levels decrease drastically. This can lead to loss of function in the human organism. In the course of life, the cellular hallmarks of aging thus accumulate and leave traces in our body. In step with this, the molecular markers of health decrease. These are the reasons why in old age we are more often ill and less often healthy. The NAD test helps you determine and track the level of NAD in your cells.
We are living longer and longer - but not healthier in relative terms. The current type of medicine allows diseases by doing too little for prevention and health maintenance. MoleQlar wants to enable a longer and, above all, healthier life.
Good and long health begins with you: Think today about the day after tomorrow.
