Beschrijving
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is the central electron carrier of cellular metabolism and the obligate substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1–7), PARPs, and CD38 — three enzyme families that together regulate DNA repair, mitochondrial efficiency, circadian biology, inflammatory response, and metabolic homeostasis. NAD+ levels decline by approximately 50% between ages 40 and 60, a decline now considered one of the primary molecular drivers of biological aging. Direct NAD+ supplementation is the gold-standard research tool for studying sirtuin activation, mitochondrial rejuvenation, and DNA repair kinetics in aging models.


Research Data
Research Snapshot — NAD+
Key Mechanisms & Pathways
- Sirtuin Activation (SIRT1-7)All 7 sirtuins require NAD+ as obligate cofactor; SIRT1 activates PGC-1α (mitochondrial biogenesis), SIRT3 maintains ETC, SIRT6 preserves genomic stability.
- PARP-Mediated DNA RepairPARP1/2 consume NAD+ to repair up to 70,000 single-strand DNA breaks per cell per day via poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis.
- Complex I Electron TransportNADH (reduced NAD+) is the electron donor for Complex I — the rate-limiting step of mitochondrial ATP production.
- CD38 CompetitionCD38 NADase expression rises with age/inflammation (inflammaging); NAD+ repletion offsets this consumption and restores sirtuin activity.
- AMPK Cross-TalkVia SIRT1 → LKB1 → AMPK signalling, elevated NAD+ promotes repair and catabolic states — the metabolic signature of longevity.
- Circadian Clock RegulationSIRT1 deacetylates BMAL1 and PER2 — core clock proteins — linking NAD+ levels directly to circadian rhythm quality.
