Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, is an oxidized form of NADH and one of the most crucial molecules in the body of the host as it facilitates cellular respiration. Its main biological function is to shuttle energy around – within the cell, to the extracellular space as well as between cells.
NAD+’s primary function is electron transport between different biochemical reactions within cells and, in some cases, even in the extracellular space. This is what makes these reactions possible and what reflects in the mitochondria – through new cell generation, improved cellular functioning and DNA repairs.
