Several clinical trials and studies have been conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of quercetin supplementation in age-related conditions. The data, however, are still inconclusive, necessitating further well-designed studies to establish its therapeutic benefits in aging and longevity comprehensively. | Several clinical trials and studies have been conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of quercetin supplementation in age-related conditions.

=== Role as an NAD+ Booster === | |||
Quercetin has been identified as a potential NAD+ booster, which is significant as NAD+ is a crucial coenzyme involved in numerous biological processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and aging. The depletion of NAD+ is associated with aging and several age-related diseases. | |||
Studies have demonstrated that quercetin can inhibit the activity of NADase (CD38), an enzyme responsible for the degradation of NAD+, thus potentially increasing the levels of NAD+ in cells. Elevated NAD+ levels are associated with improved mitochondrial function, enhanced cellular metabolism, and reduced oxidative stress, all of which are key components in the aging process. | |||
