Within the human body, all cells, from our neurons to our skin, require an energy source for function. ATP is the cellular energy source and is generated by mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) serves as an essential cofactor in the generation of ATP by the mitochondria. Due to this role in energy metabolism, measurement of its oxidized form, NAD+, can provide insight into overall health and well-being, and may also be a helpful tool in identifying supplementation needs and monitoring effectiveness.
