What Causes Heart Disease—And Can NAD⁺ Help Prevent It?

Heart disease isn’t just about cholesterol—it’s about inflammation, damaged blood vessels, and energy failure inside cells.

Here’s what happens:

  • Arteries get inflamed from things like poor diet, stress, or high blood sugar
  • Cells can't repair themselves properly
  • Plaque builds up, blood flow drops
  • Over time, this leads to heart attacks or heart failure

Now here’s where NAD⁺ comes in:
NAD⁺ is a molecule your body needs for cellular energy, repair, and inflammation control. But as we age—or get sick—NAD⁺ levels drop.

How NAD⁺ helps your heart:  

  • Reduces artery inflammation
  • Improves mitochondrial energy inside heart cells
  • Activates sirtuins, proteins that protect your heart and blood vessels
  • Improves cholesterol and insulin sensitivity in studies

Studies:

  • In mice, NAD⁺ precursors improved heart function and reduced damage after heart attacks
  • Early human studies show better blood pressure and artery health after NAD⁺ boosting

Bottom line?  

NAD⁺ could be a powerful tool to help prevent or even reverse early heart disease—especially when combined with healthy lifestyle choices.

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