NAD+ Optimization: Beyond Supplement Hype
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a superstar molecule in longevity circles—but not all NAD+ strategies are created equal. With new research and personalized testing, we’re moving beyond the supplement hype to real, measurable results in anti-aging.
Why NAD+ Matters for Longevity
DNA Repair: NAD+ fuels PARP enzymes, which repair damaged DNA—a key factor in slowing aging.
Cellular Energy: It’s essential for mitochondrial function, helping your cells stay energetic and resilient.
ADVERTISEMENTSirtuin Activation: NAD+ activates sirtuins, proteins that regulate metabolism, inflammation, and stress resistance.
The Science of NAD+ Decline
Natural Drop: NAD+ levels plummet by 50% by age 50.
Causes: Aging, stress, poor sleep, and inflammation all deplete NAD+.
Consequences: Lower NAD+ is linked to fatigue, cognitive decline, and faster aging.
Modern NAD+ Optimization Strategies
Personalized Testing:
Jinfiniti Precision Health and others now offer intracellular NAD+ testing.
40% of users need more than 500mg of NMN daily to reach optimal levels.
Supplementation:
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide): Most popular NAD+ precursor.
NR (Nicotinamide Riboside): Another effective option.
Dosage: Tailor to your test results for best results.
Lifestyle Synergy:
Morning Sunlight: Boosts NAD+ synthesis.
Evening Red Light Therapy: Supports mitochondrial health.
Exercise: Increases NAD+ levels naturally.
What to Watch Out For
Cancer Concerns: NAD+ can fuel cancer growth in some cases. Consult your doctor if you have a history of cancer.
Quality Matters: Not all supplements are created equal. Look for third-party tested products.
Practical Takeaway
“NAD+ optimization is about precision, not just popping pills. Test, tailor, and track your levels for real anti-aging benefits.”
— Dr. Charles Brenner, NAD+ Research Pioneer
Young By Choice™ Action Step:
Consider NAD+ testing before starting supplementation, and combine it with lifestyle strategies for maximum impact.
