Without NAD+ your cells cannot convert food into energy. NAD+ plays a central role in redox reactions, acting like a taxi service transferring electrons from one molecule to another, which is essential for the production of adenosine triphosphate (“ATP”), the primary energy currency of cells.
Redox reactions are continuous exchanges of electrons between molecules in your body, similar to passing negatively charged water balloons, and these reactions are essential for basic functions like moving, thinking, and processing food into usable energy. When molecules gain electrons through redox reactions, they become “reduced” with a lower charge, while molecules that lose electrons become “oxidised” with a relatively higher charge. This process always happens in pairs, as one molecule must receive the electrons another gives away.
Your body maintains a delicate balance of electron exchanges. Too many electrons being passed around too quickly or incorrectly will damage cells, leading to a harmful condition called oxidative stress.
The oxidised form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD+, is arguably the most vital molecule in your body, acting like a taxi service that carries electrons throughout your cells. Without NAD+, your cells cannot convert food into energy, repair DNA damage or maintain proper cellular communication.
Mitochondrial damage from toxins like seed oils, microplastics and EMFs create “reductive stress,” where electron carriers like NADH – nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + hydrogen (H), or reduced NAD – get stuck and cannot properly transfer their electrons, leading to reduced NAD+ levels and cellular dysfunction.
While expensive NAD+ boosting supplements exist, maintaining healthy NAD+ levels can be achieved more affordably through proper niacinamide (vitamin B3) supplementation and, most importantly, by avoiding substances that damage mitochondria....<<<Read More>>>...
