NAD+

  • The Molecule of Youth Science Just Rediscovered

    In the 1960s, scientists discovered something remarkable in your cells: a molecule that seemed to be present everywhere, involved in seemingly everything. They called it NAD+, and at the time, they understood it primarily as a helper in metabolism. It took another fifty years for researchers to realize they’d actually discovered one of biology’s…

  • Why You’re Aging Faster Than Your Parents Did

    Here’s an uncomfortable thought: you might be aging faster than your parents did at the same age. Not because genetics suddenly changed, but because modern life has conspired to accelerate cellular aging in ways that previous generations didn’t face. The constant stress, the sleep deprivation, the processed foods, the sedentary lifestyle, the environmental toxins—all…

  • The Cellular Battery That’s Running Down

    Every cell in your body runs on tiny batteries called mitochondria. These microscopic powerhouses convert the food you eat into usable energy—that ATP molecule that powers literally everything from your heartbeat to your thoughts. But here’s the catch: these batteries need a specific molecule to function efficiently. It’s called NAD+, and starting in your…
