What is NAD+

“ By middle age, the amount of NAD+ in the body can be up to about 50% lower ”

What is NAD+?

The term NAD+ is appearing more frequently in the world of skincare. This powerful molecule plays an important role in the production of energy and the repair of our cells. As we age, the natural levels of NAD+ in our body decline, which can affect various processes in the body, including the skin.

But what exactly is NAD+? And what can this innovative ingredient mean for your skin? In this article, you’ll discover how NAD+ works and why it is increasingly being used in advanced skincare.

NAD+ is an essential molecule that naturally occurs in our cells and plays a key role in energy production and cellular repair. As we age, NAD+ levels in the body decline. This can contribute to various processes associated with aging, such as: 

• Reduced energy levels: becoming fatigued more quickly and decreased muscle endurance.
• ​DNA-damage: damage can accumulate more rapidly, causing cells to age faster.
• Brain and cognitive function: potential decline in cognitive abilities.
• Loss of muscle strength: muscles recover more slowly and strength may decrease.
• Metabolism: reduced insulin sensitivity.
• Immune system: the immune response may become less efficient.
• Skin aging: decreased collagen production, slower cell turnover, leading to more wrinkles and pigmentation.

Thanks to innovative technology, NAD+ can now also be applied in skincare. This allows the skin to be locally supported in processes such as cell renewal and repair, contributing to a more energized, radiant, and youthful-looking complexion.

NAD+ in skin

It’s important to know that not every skin type immediately needs additional NAD+ support. This depends on the condition of your skin and is often related to age.

As we get older, NAD+ levels in our body gradually decline due to various biological processes. By midlife, the amount of NAD+ in the body can be up to about 50% lower (!) than in our younger years. This can contribute to visible signs of skin aging, such as a duller complexion.

NAD+ Booster in skincare

Skincare products containing ingredients that support NAD+ levels in the skin can help stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes. This can be especially beneficial when the skin begins to show signs of fatigue, dryness, or aging.

If you have dry or tired-looking skin, skincare with NAD+-supporting ingredients can be a great addition to your routine. If you have normal skin, it may be beneficial from around the age of 35 to start using products that help maintain the skin’s natural energy and recovery capacity.

By using ingredients that support NAD+ levels in the skin, the skin can better maintain its natural repair processes, contributing to a healthy, radiant, and youthful-looking complexion.
