→Role as an NAD+ Booster
| Line 50: | Line 50: | ||
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. | 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.

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. | 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.
