We will cover the essentials and explain about each of these nutrients below. NAD NAD or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is derived from Nicotinamide Riboside (NR). NR is one of the 3 main forms of Niacin (vitamin B3). NAD+ is a substrate for a number of important enzymes, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which is known as a classic longevity protein. NAD+ is also essential in metabolic processes such as creating ATP in your mitochondria. It accepts and donates electrons and is used in oxidatio...
