Discover what NAD+ is, how NAD+ works, and and how this essential coenzyme may support energy production, metabolic function, and cellular health.
NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule found in every living cell. Scientists call it a “coenzyme” that acts like a helper molecule that allows enzymes to function, especially those involved in energy production and cell repair.
Think of NAD+ as a key component that may help your cells stay energized and resilient. NAD+ plays a role in supporting key processes like converting food into cellular energy and maintaining your body’s natural balance.
But here’s the catch: NAD+ levels decline over time. Starting in your 30s, your ability to maintain healthy NAD+ levels begins to drop, making you feel a bit less like yourself.
NAD+ plays a critical role in several core biological processes:
It acts like a biological connector, helping enzymes “switch on” the processes that keep you functioning at your best. But with age, stress, or environmental strain, NAD+ production may naturally decline.
That’s why NAD+ has become a focus in wellness and longevity conversations.
Although you can't measure NAD+ levels at home, some signs may suggest your body could benefit from NAD+ support:
These are not diagnostic indicators. However, they have led many people, especially women over 35, to ask providers about NAD+ injections or supplements.
NAD+ injections are a prescription-only therapy delivered subcutaneously (just under the skin). Unlike oral supplements, these injections bypass the digestive system and are being studied for their potential to provide more efficient delivery of NAD+ in wellness settings.
While NAD+ injections are not FDA-approved to treat or prevent any condition, some individual experiences report:
It’s important to note that experiences vary. That’s why Eden offers access to licensed providers who can assess whether NAD+ injections make sense as part of your wellness plan.
