NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is found in all cells and is essential to living. NAD bathes the brain’s cells in nutrients and the result is improved brain health and function.

NAD was discovered by scientists in 1906, but it wasn’t until the 1940s when doctors began to understand the true potential and function of NAD in the human body. Since then, more and more areas of the medical community are working with NAD to improve the lives of their patients.

NAD is required for the fundamental biological processes that make life possible, from metabolism to DNA repair. NAD is hard at work in the cells of humans and other mammals, yeast and bacteria, even plants.

Nothing can live without NAD, and low levels are often accompanied by negative health consequences like loss of strength and vitality. NAD is produced by the body in higher quantities in babies and growing adults than older adults.
