Long days, busy schedules, active evenings and a social calendar that never stops — a full, vibrant lifestyle is definitely something to celebrate. But even the most energised among us can feel the effects of burning the candle at both ends. If you’re noticing dips in focus, energy or recovery, your body might be low on a key molecule: NAD+.
In this blog, we’ll explore how NAD+ supports energy and recovery, why it tends to run low (especially when life is full-on), and how you can give your levels a fast, effective boost with no downtime required.
What is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?
NAD+ (short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It’s essential for energy production, DNA repair, brain function and healthy metabolism, making it a cornerstone of overall vitality and performance.
In short, when your NAD+ levels are in good shape, so are you. But when those stores start to deplete, you may begin to feel mentally and physically drained, even if everything else in your routine seems right.
How NAD+ Powers Your Cells
NAD+ plays a critical role in energy metabolism, the process that allows your body to convert food into usable energy. It acts as a coenzyme in redox reactions, specifically in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, where ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced. This is the primary energy currency of your body. NAD+ accepts and donates electrons during these metabolic reactions, facilitating the transfer of energy.
Without adequate NAD+, the mitochondria can’t efficiently generate ATP. As a result, your cells struggle to meet energy demands, leading to those familiar feelings of fatigue, sluggishness and reduced performance both mentally and physically.
Additionally, NAD+ is involved in activating sirtuins, a family of proteins that regulate inflammation, cellular repair and stress resistance. These functions are especially important when your body is under pressure from physical activity, travel, poor sleep or stress.
Why You Might Be Running Low
Scientific research has uncovered that our bodies naturally produce less NAD+ as we age. Add to that the demands of a busy lifestyle — stress, intense exercise, irregular sleep, travel or even late nights — and your NAD+ levels can become quickly depleted.
Signs of low NAD+ supply may include:
-
Persistent fatigue or dips in energy
-
Brain fog or poor concentration
-
Slower recovery after physical exertion
-
Feeling unbalanced despite a healthy routine
If any of this sounds familiar, it could be a signal that your cells are calling out for support.
