How Does NAD+ Improve Brain Function & Mental Clarity?

Ageing and mental decline

Cognitive decline is an unfortunate part of ageing. As we get older, our cells accumulate damage and in the brain, this can manifest itself in a range of ailments such as general brain fogginess or more specific diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s or dementia. NAD+ is a coenzyme that naturally occurs in our body that works to lessen the symptoms of these diseases by powering and restoring brain function. NAD+ increases brain function by keeping important cells healthy to ensure our brain ages well. A coenzyme is a small molecule that binds to a protein molecule in order to activate an enzyme. Enzymes are responsible for over 5,000 different biochemical reactions throughout the body and NAD+ participates in more reactions than any other vitamin-derived molecule. Our levels of NAD+ naturally decrease as we age which means we don’t have enough to maintain the healthiest brain possible. However, taking NAD+ supplements boosts and maintains our levels of NAD+ to ensure we’ve got enough for healthy brain function and mental clarity.
