But the reality is a lot more complex than TikTok has made it to be.
A deregulationof NAD+ levels is associated with signs of aging, metabolic diseases, neurodegeneration, and cancer.
In cars and other devices, the electrons flow on copper wires.

In our bodies, high-energy electrons are carried by NAD coenzymes.
NAD+ is neither a drug nor a miracle, he explained.
This decline in NAD+ has been observed in people with aging-related diseases.
Current research suggests that NAD+ levels can be raised by taking NAD+ precursors or boosters, Brenner added.
When the NAD system comes under attack, NR is powerfully protective of tissue functions and metabolism.
What Has NAD+ Research Found So Far?
We just need more data to support the claims and hype around it at this time, she said.
Its important to note that taking supplements is not the only strategy to increase NAD+ levels, Thomas added.
