 === NAD+ Precursors ===
-[[NAD+ Precursor|NAD+ precursors]] are molecules that serve as substrates in the biosynthesis of NAD+. They can be converted into NAD+ within the body, thus serving as effective NAD+ boosters.

 * '''[[Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)]]:''' Another precursor that is converted into NMN in the body before participating in the synthesis of NAD+.
 * '''[[Nicotinamide (NAM)]]:''' A form of vitamin B3, acts as an NAD+ precursor via the NAD+ salvage pathway.

 * '''CD38:''' A glycoprotein that uses NAD+; reducing CD38 levels or activity can potentially elevate NAD+ levels.
-=== Other NAD+ Boosting Molecules ===
+=== Other NAD+ Boosting Compounds ===
 Beyond precursors and inhibitors of NAD+ consumers, several other supplements claim to boost NAD+ levels or improve NAD+ metabolism.
 * '''[[Resveratrol]]:''' While primarily known as a sirtuin activator, it might also have indirect effects on NAD+ levels and metabolism.
