You've probably heard about NAD+ and telomeres in the anti-aging world. Here's why they matter, and how they work together to keep you younger, longer.
Telomeres are like the plastic tips on shoelaces. They protect your DNA each time your cells divide. But over time, they wear down. When telomeres get too short, your cells stop working properly, leading to aging and disease.
This video explains it more clearly and shows how it is the key to longevity

NAD+ is a molecule your cells use to make energy, repair DNA, and stay healthy. But here's the catch: NAD+ levels drop as you age, by as much as 50% between ages 40 and 60.
NAD+ activates sirtuins, proteins that help protect your DNA and maintain telomeres. More NAD+ means better sirtuin activity, healthier telomeres, and slower aging.

You can’t stop aging, but you can help your cells age better. Boosting NAD+ may help your body protect its DNA, maintain energy, and stay healthier longer.
