NAD+ Supplement Benefits Include Reducing Neuronal Damage and Improving Memory in Diabetic Rats with Hypoglycemia
NMN emerges as a protective agent against neuronal damage caused by hypoglycemia, a serious complication of insulin therapy in diabetes. The study conducted by Sakurai et al. reveals that administering NMN can counteract the neuronal damage and cognitive impairment typically induced by drops in blood glucose levels. The researchers observed reduced neuronal death by supplementing …

What is NAD+ ?
The History of NAD+ Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is considered a critical molecule for human life, given its versatility. It plays an integral role in providing cells with energy; almost all biological processes require NAD. For this reason, Nicotinamide Mononucleotide has become the focus of biological research in recent times. A “factor” that stimulates the …
