Unlocking NAD+
Your Body’s Energy Molecule
Hello Capilli Eternal Community,
As part of our journey through the science of cellular health and longevity, today we introduce NAD+ , one of the most critical molecules in your body for energy production and repair.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that exists in every cell of your body. Think of it as the fuel that powers your mitochondria, enabling them to generate energy for all cellular functions.
Why It Matters
With age, your body’s NAD+ levels naturally decline. This decrease affects your mitochondria’s ability to function optimally, leading to reduced energy production and an increased risk of age-related challenges.
Key impacts of NAD+ decline:
Lower cellular energy.
Reduced ability to repair DNA damage.
Accelerated signs of aging.
The Connection to Mitochondria
NAD+ plays a central role in helping mitochondria produce ATP, the energy currency of the body. Without enough NAD+ , mitochondrial function falters, contributing to fatigue, slower recovery, and overall aging.
Stay tuned for a deeper dive into the science of NAD+ in our premium newsletter, where we’ll explore practical strategies to maintain optimal levels and support your long-term health.
To your vitality,
The Capilli Eternal Team
