Werner syndrome and ataxia telangiectasia are rare diseases linked by genomic instability and features of accelerated aging. Early human studies suggest NAD+ precursors may improve clinical markers across these and other rare conditions. Learn more.

Early clinical studies using NR, NMN, and niacin are showing improvements in mitochondrial health. Here's what the science shows. https://t.co/oIpUZdA7GN

Mitochondria generate roughly 90% of your body's energy—and their decline with age is now seen as a driver of aging, not just a byproduct. NAD+, essential to mitochondrial function, drops with age too. Here's what the science shows. https://t.co/oIpUZdA7GN

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

Every muscle contraction, recovery window, and repair cycle depends on NAD+. It sits at the center of how muscles produce energy, making it essential to nearly every aspect of muscle function. Its levels, however, decline with age and inactivity. Read more:https://t.co/qNfUH1gLte

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

New research is challenging the idea that NAD+ universally declines with age—but the study measured blood NAD+, not tissue levels. Findings from direct human tissue studies in the brain, muscle, skin, and liver suggest a more nuanced picture. https://t.co/I9mInJA1O3

The brain is one of the most energy-demanding organs in your body—and it depends heavily on NAD+. As NAD+ declines with age, so may neuronal resilience. But what does that mean for brain health? https://t.co/9TdRoaT1uq

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

In March, the world's leading NAD+ researchers gathered at the NAD for Health 2026 conference for a conversation the field has long needed. Early clinical signals, the synergy between exercise & supplementation, & an honest look at where the science stands.https://t.co/oWYezvfgQW

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

The two pilot studies found early signals from NR across three areas: blood pressure, inflammation, and blood glucose. None are conclusive yet—but the patterns are consistent with oral NR research. Here's what we know so far. https://t.co/LGasyATHjV

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

Most injectable NAD+ products on the market have never been clinically studied in humans. New research changes that with two pilot studies evaluating the safety of subcutaneous and intramuscular NR injections for the first time. https://t.co/LGasyATHjV

Reproductive aging is often treated as a fixed biological clock—but the science tells a more nuanced story. It begins much earlier, inside your cells—and NAD+ may be part of that story. Here is what the science is starting to reveal. https://t.co/jayitIZjVK

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

NAD+ decline isn't just a symptom of aging—it plays a significant role in influencing it. From DNA repair to mitochondrial function to epigenetics, here's how one molecule connects to all 14 hallmarks of aging. #Aging #NAD https://t.co/IdIr0H0ILU

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

NAD+ declines with age, and NR and NMN are among the most popular tools to address it. But are they interchangeable? Two newly published clinical studies put that assumption to the test for the first time. Here is what the evidence shows. https://t.co/6evP7vMMm8

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

The USP—the same authority that sets quality standards for your prescription medications—just published an official standard for Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NRCl). Here's what that means for the entire NR category https://t.co/TbxRBHrSYf

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

One NAD+ precursor. Over 65 granted patents. Spanning the core molecule—Nicotinamide Riboside, its salt forms, crystalline structures, and manufacturing processes. Here is what that level of IP protection actually means.

A new clinical study compared intravenously administered NAD+ and NR head-to-head, and the findings raise important questions about NAD+ IV therapy. Learn what the research reveals about safety, tolerability, and the underlying biology of NAD+.

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

Interesting. I get asked about NMN vs NR all the time, but defer (all the time) to @CharlesMBrenner as he’s the expert. I started taking NR regularly last month (no affiliation to the vendor).

[AboutNAD @about_nad]

What if targeting cellular health could help with peripheral artery disease? Researchers are investigating NAD+ restoration as a potential strategy—and the early findings are compelling.

Does viral infection deplete NAD+? Research shows yes—dramatically. Explore how immune stress drains cellular NAD+, why this may impact immune defense, and what NAD+ precursors may do to support recovery. https://t.co/u0HW5Yef5L

Does NR deplete methyl donors? Clinical evidence shows no—even at high doses. Explore what methylation is, how it regulates cellular health, and why different B3 vitamins interact with methylation pathways differently.
