Are you waking up after a reasonable amount of sleep and still feel flat? Struggling to keep up with the grandkids? It’s easy to put down these symptoms as just a part of getting older, but there may be more to it. What if fatigue, brain fog, and lack of motivation weren’t a given, but there was something you could change to support healthy ageing?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a key contributor to your body’s energy production. It’s an essential coenzyme that is present in every cell of the human body and NAD+ levels naturally decline as we get older.
NAD+, Energy & Ageing
NAD+ works to support cellular respiration, a process by which your cells generate energy. This happens through mitochondria, the energy powerhouse of our cells, which relies on NAD+. Within the mitochondria, NAD+ facilitates the conversion of glucose and fats into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). With healthy levels of NAD+ mitochondria can generate ATP, the primary source of energy for your body’s cells, helping you keep active and engaged in daily life.
As we know NAD+ gradually declines in various tissues in our body during ageing, so maintaining NAD+ levels may support ongoing vitality, mental clarity, and physical energy.
How can I get NAD+?
There are various ways to get more NAD+ including a balanced lifestyle and regular activity, however to make sure you have the essentials covered, we recommend supplementation. LifeMax NR is a premium NAD+ support supplement that contains high-quality ingredients such as nicotinamide riboside (NR), resveratrol, turmeric, betaine and more.
NAD+ plays an important role in the body's natural energy processes. If you want to support energy levels and stay active as you age, consider adding this essential coenzyme to your routine. As always before starting any new supplement, please speak to your healthcare professional to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
