The Quest for Longevity
Humans have been fascinated with longevity for centuries. While there's no magic fountain of youth, modern science is uncovering factors that contribute to aging at the cellular level. One target generating excitement is NAD+.*
What is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell. Think of it as a "helper molecule" that assists enzymes in metabolic reactions. It's known for its role in mitochondria – helping convert nutrients into ATP (cellular energy). Beyond energy, NAD+ is involved in DNA repair and interacts with sirtuins – proteins linked to aging and stress resistance.*
The catch? NAD+ levels naturally decline with age – possibly by 50% or more by middle age. This decline is thought to contribute to aging signs: lower energy, slower recovery, and increased risk of age-related issues.*
Research on NAD+ and Aging*
Animal studies have provided excitement around NAD+. In mice, boosting NAD+ has been linked to improved healthspan – better endurance, fewer signs of DNA damage, and improved organ function. Human research is still early, but initial findings show NAD+ precursors can raise NAD+ levels safely.
How Can You Support NAD+ Levels?
Regular Exercise
Physical activity stimulates mitochondria and can signal cells to make more NAD+. High-intensity interval training and resistance training are especially beneficial.*
Caloric Moderation & Fasting
Caloric restriction increases NAD+ and activates sirtuins. Intermittent fasting may provide similar benefits without severe restriction.*
Quality Sleep
During deep sleep, your body repairs damage – processes that use NAD+. Prioritize consistent, quality sleep.*
Stress Management
Chronic stress increases NAD+ demand due to higher oxidative stress. Mindfulness, yoga, and hobbies can help.*
NAD+ Precursors (NR and NMN)
These compounds convert to NAD+ in the body. Taking supplements can raise NAD+ levels. They're available in capsules and increasingly in transdermal patches.*
The Transdermal Advantage for NAD+ Support
Transdermal NAD+ patches offer an alternative to oral supplements. Steady delivery through the skin may maximize bioavailability by bypassing digestion. For those who experience nausea from oral forms, patches can be gentler.*
SkynPatch's LONGEVITY – Anti-Aging & Vitality Patch aims to support cellular health. It provides a daily reminder to prioritize long-term wellness.*
Embracing a Longevity Lifestyle
Supplements aside, one of the most powerful pro-longevity "medicines" is free: a positive outlook on aging. People who view aging as growth actually live longer and healthier. Challenge your brain with new skills, stay socially connected, and find purpose.*
Conclusion
Optimizing NAD+ through smart lifestyle choices and supplementation gives your cells tools to keep working effectively year after year. Longevity comes from a harmonious combination of factors – there's no single silver bullet. Here's to adding life to your years!*
