Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a central redox factor and enzymatic cofactor that functions in a plethora of cellular processes, including metabolic pathways and DNA metabolism, and affects cell fate and function. NAD+ levels gradually decline with age, and therapeutic elevation of NAD+ levels is being trialled for extending human healthspan and lifespan.
