How Does NAD+ Benefit the Skin?

The longevity trend in the wellness industry has brought NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) into the spotlight, largely due to endorsements from celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston. NAD+ is praised for its potential to enhance cellular functions such as DNA repair and metabolism, but it depletes with age, leading to health issues like oxidative stress and inflammation.

Key Points:

• NAD+ and Skin Care: NAD+ supports skin by promoting collagen synthesis, reducing inflammation, and protecting against UV damage. However, due to its large and unstable structure, direct topical application is not very effective. Instead, products often use NAD+ precursors such as niacinamide to boost effectiveness.
