	Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of our bodies and has become a focal point in the field of longevity and aging research. NAD+ plays a central role in energy metabolism and is essential for the function of several enzymes that are associated with aging and DNA repair.		'''Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD)''' is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of our bodies and has become a focal point in the field of longevity and aging research. NAD+ plays a central role in energy metabolism and is essential for the function of several enzymes that are associated with aging and DNA repair.

	NAD exists in two main forms: NAD+ and NADH. NAD+ is the oxidized form of the molecule and is essential for various cellular processes, including DNA repair, gene expression, and calcium signaling. When NAD+ accepts electrons during metabolic reactions, it becomes reduced and transforms into NADH. NADH, the reduced form, primarily functions in the production of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency, through the electron transport chain. The dynamic interconversion between these two forms, NAD+ and NADH, is fundamental to the cell's energy production and overall function.		NAD exists in two main forms: NAD+ and NADH.
