Key Takeaways
‍

• Harnessing energy from food and maintaining cellular health are just a few functions of what NAD does in the body.
• NAD helps with DNA repair and mitochondrial function; it also creates longevity pathways that prolong your healthspan. 
• Instead of trying to get rid of specific symptoms of aging, learn what our NMN+ supplement is and choose the right anti-aging solution for yourself.

Few people look forward to the less pleasing parts of growing old. The experiences and memories one collects with time sure are valuable, but the wrinkles, diseases, joint pain, and fatigue are much less so. Yet, for all of human history, aging has been part and parcel of growing old. 

But what if there was a way to slow down the rate of aging at the cellular level? What if you experienced the same energy and fitness at 60 as you did at 40? 

With Longevity Method’s NAD+ boosting supplements, supporting cellular energy and healthy aging is possible. But what exactly does NAD help with? What does NAD do in the body? Let’s explore the science first.

‍

What Is NAD?

NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) converts food into energy and helps repair DNA. It’s a vital coenzyme that supports over 500 processes, from brain function to skin health. Essentially, it’s vital for sustaining life and cellular function.

To get into the nitty-gritty aspects, the molecule consists of two nucleotides joined through phosphate groups: one containing adenine and the other nicotinamide. Because of this structure, NAD can easily transfer electrons between molecules during metabolic processes. To do this, it cycles between two primary forms: the oxidized form (NAD+) and the reduced form (NADH). 

So, these terms (NAD, NAD+, and NADH) are not interchangeable. You need to keep this in mind while understanding NAD and how the NMN+ supplement works.

‍

Why Do People Take NAD+?

NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. This decline may make supplementation beneficial. Research shows that by the time you hit 50, your NAD+ levels could be half of what they were in your youth. That’s why the cells in older people don’t function as well anymore. They can’t produce energy or repair damage like they used to. What the NMN+ supplement does is replenish these declining NAD+ levels. So you no longer feel your age.

‍

How Is NAD+ Consumed?

You can't just take a NAD+ pill and call it a day. The molecule is too big to be absorbed that way. The smartest approach, which we use, is to supplement with precursors, like nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR). Your body can easily absorb and convert these smaller molecules into NAD+.

Our Live Longer NMN+ formula features NMN, a well-studied NAD+ precursor highly supported by emerging research to be the most effective option. There are other delivery methods too, like IV drips or nasal sprays, but those come with significant costs and questionable efficacy. We think our capsule is the way to go. Just pop it and gulp. Easy!

‍

What Does NAD Help With?

Within our cells NAD supports multiple essential cellular functions that help sustain vitality. Listing all its functions would make too long a list. So we have divided its role into three broad parts:

01. Mitochondrial Function

Your mitochondria are the power plants of your cells, and NAD+ is the fuel that makes them run. It is essential for converting the food you eat into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). In simpler terms, it turns food into energy. 

When NAD+ levels are high, this process is efficient, and your cells are energized. When levels drop, your mitochondria don’t function as well, and you feel fatigue. That’s why older people may experience diminished stamina. This is what NAD does in the body. It literally energizes you.
‍

02. DNA Repair

NAD does far more than energy production. Environmental factors and internal metabolic processes constantly put stress on your DNA. NAD+ is the critical fuel for a family of enzymes called PARPs, which repair damaged DNA. When DNA damage occurs, these enzymes consume NAD+ to fix the breaks.

Low NAD+ levels mean a slower, less efficient repair response. So damage starts accumulating. This is a prime reason for aging and cellular dysfunction. NAD helps with keeping your genes stable. That’s why supporting NAD+ production through Live Longer NMN supplements may become increasingly important with age.
‍

03. Longevity Pathways

Sirtuins, a class of proteins that regulate the body’s longevity, need NAD+ to activate. They control how resilient your cells are to stress. They regulate metabolism and mitochondrial health. Sirtuins also control how your body reacts to inflammation. 

And these sirtuins don’t work without their key, NAD+. Supplementing with an NAD+ precursor, such as NMN, directly reactivates these essential longevity pathways. What the NMN supplement does is maintain a continuous supply of NAD+, so sirtuins can function normally and keep your cells healthy.

Target Aging at the Root

There are many generic supplements out there that target individual symptoms of aging. Be it for energy, memory, gut health, stamina, mood, or skin, these supplements only work at the surface level. But at the root of all these symptoms lie your cells. When your cells don’t function like they should, a thousand things go wrong with your body and mind at the same time.

That’s why Longevity Method NMN+ focuses on the single molecule that controls so many age-related issues. What our NMN+ supplement does is target the cellular factors associated with aging, helping you feel more energized and resilient.

Frequently Asked Questions
‍

What does NAD+ do in the body?

NAD helps in various biochemical processes necessary for cell function. It produces energy and repairs DNA. As you age, NAD levels decrease. That’s why older people are more susceptible to diseases and start showing the physical signs of aging.

Is NAD+ the same as vitamin B3?

Not really. But NAD+ is considered the bioactive form of vitamin B3 because vitamin B3 converts to NAD+ in the body.

Who should not take NAD+?

If you have liver or kidney issues, NAD+ boosting supplements might not be for you. It’s because these organs are essential to metabolizing NAD+. You can still try our other supplements like Sleep Better and Play Harder.

Can I take NMN+ every day?

Yes, you can. Our supplements can be taken regularly or every other day, as directed on the package.

How do I know if NMN+ is working?

What our NMN+ supplement does is it begins supporting cellular health soon after use, though individual results may vary. Gradually, you may start feeling more alert, mentally stable, and energized. You may find yourself in a better mood as well.
