Can NAD⁺ Help Heal the Brain After Injury?

  • NAD Vitality Blend

When someone has a traumatic brain injury (TBI)—like a concussion or worse—the brain burns through its supply of NAD⁺, a molecule every cell needs for energy, repair, and fighting inflammation.

 

What goes wrong after TBI?

  • Cells lose energy because mitochondria break down
  • NAD⁺ gets drained trying to repair damage
  • Inflammation flares up
  • Nerve cells start to die

How can NAD⁺ help? 

Research in animals shows that boosting NAD⁺ levels can:

  • Protect brain cells
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Help nerves regenerate
  • Improve memory and movement after injury

Although not yet standard of care, NAD⁺ is a rational and biologically supported adjunct for future TBI therapy

And, of course, we recommend NADVITALITYBLEND which helps your cells make more NAD and blocks enzymes that break down NAD!
