What is NAD+ and how does NMN work in your body?<\/h1>\n

Short answer:<\/strong> NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that your cells need to convert nutrients into usable energy. It also serves as a raw material for enzymes involved in, among other things, DNA repair and cell signaling. NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is an intermediate substance that the body can convert into NAD+. With aging, the NAD+ balance in some tissues can change, but the degree of decline varies by tissue and individual.<\/p>\n
