Latest Breakthroughs in NAD+ Research: What the Science Says in 2025

Every cell in your body relies on NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) to generate energy, repair DNA, and maintain healthy function. But as you age, NAD+ levels decline, making it harder for your body to keep up with cellular repair, immune defense, and metabolic balance. This drop is linked to fatigue, cognitive decline, and an increased risk of age-related conditions.

The good news? You can take steps to support and sustain NAD+ levels with science-backed strategies:

  • Eat for Cellular Health – Foods rich in vitamin B3 (like meat, fish, and whole grains) provide key NAD+ precursors to fuel production.
  • Exercise Regularly – Movement stimulates NAD+ synthesis and enhances mitochondrial efficiency, helping your cells generate more energy.
  • Intermittent Fasting – Short periods of fasting activate pathways that boost NAD+ and promote cellular repair.
  • Targeted Supplementation – NMN and NR are direct precursors to NAD+, helping replenish stores and counteract natural depletion.
  • Reduce NAD+ Depleters – Alcohol, smoking, and environmental stressors accelerate NAD+ loss by increasing oxidative damage and inflammation.

Research shows that supporting NAD+ can enhance brain function, protect heart health, and slow cellular aging. By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can help maintain vitality, resilience, and longevity at the cellular level.
