Riize oral dissolving supplements deliver NAD+ effectively

What is NAD+ ?

NAD+ is a compound found naturally in every cell in the body. It creates cellular energy, maintains cellular health, and is required for tissue stability and stress response at the cellular level. In this way, it is vital to DNA integrity and the cell functions that protect from aging and disease. NAD+ is necessary for over 500 enzymatic reactions, shuttling electrons from one molecule to another within cells to carry out all sorts of reactions and processes. Without sufficient NAD+ levels, cells wouldn't be able to generate the energy to survive, let alone carry out their intended functions.
NAD+ was first identified in 1906 from a study designed to better understand the fermentation process. Subsequent studies determined the structure of NAD+ as being made up of two nucleotides, the building blocks of nucleic acids, which make up DNA. The relationship of NAD+ to the metabolic process of fermentation was an early indicator of its role in metabolic processes in the human body as well. In 1958, the pathway whereby nicotinic acid becomes NAD+ was discovered.
The extent of the importance and impact of NAD+ at the cellular level was ultimately discovered through advanced technologies and continued research. Through the 1970s and 1990s, it was established that certain proteins, dependent on NAD+, could extend cell life when activated by NAD+.

The NAD+ Supplement

The supplement market is large and still growing. There are products specific to health benefits for nearly every conceivable part of your system. One of the biggest trending supplements in recent years has been NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Much of the attention NAD+ has received can be attributed to social media, where it has been touted as a “fountain of youth” supplement, along with NR (nicotinamide ribose) and NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide). Both NR and NMN are “precursors” to NAD+, meaning they provide material for the synthesis of NAD+, and can help increase NAD+ levels. NAD+ can also be taken directly as a supplement.

The Role of Coenzymes

NAD+ is a coenzyme that is vital to every living cell.

Coenzymes are organic, non-protein molecules that enzymes need to perform their catalytic activity. They assist in chemical reactions by binding to enzymes, often functioning as carriers of electrons during chemical reactions at the cellular level. Enzymes, formed from linked amino acid chains, act as catalysts to help increase metabolic and chemical reactions in the body. In order to do their work, enzymes rely on coenzymes.

Coenzymes are derived from certain food sources and vitamins and are necessary for the creation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The mitochondria in every cell use ATP to transfer energy between cells, providing up to 95% of the energy the body uses. Coenzymes also protect mitochondria by supporting and repairing DNA, and maintaining cellular integrity. As one of the most important coenzymes, NAD+ plays a significant role in providing cellular energy and repair.

NAD+ and Aging

Aging is a complex process measured, defined, and affected by many diverse factors. In general, aging can be described as the loss of homeostasis at the cellular level, along with the loss of regenerative capacity and resulting cellular damage. Knowledge of the molecular and cellular basis for aging has increased significantly in recent years. Previously, treatments focused on repairing what aging had already done. Today, research shows aging can be influenced at the cellular level, and certain aspects may be slowed or even reversed.

Aging studies have clearly identified NAD+ as a key regulator of many cell-signaling functions responsible for aging. It is a necessary component for enzymes that affect cellular repair and longevity. A decline in NAD+ reduces DNA repair and contributes to the accumulation of DNA damage through negative effects on cellular metabolism.

Unfortunately, NAD+ levels naturally decrease with age. At age 50, the body has about half the NAD+ it had at age 20.

Benefits of Increased NAD+

Extensive research has shown that restoring NAD+ levels provides several whole-body benefits:

• Increases mitochondrial function and ATP production, improving muscle function and endurance.
• Provides neurological benefits, including improved cognition and nerve regeneration.
• Boosts energy through increased ATP production.
• Improves mood and sleep quality by increasing serotonin levels and helping reduce anxiety and depression.
• Protects and improves skin health.
• Supports cardiovascular health.

Maintaining NAD+ levels is essential for long-term health and anti-aging benefits.

The Science of Supplementation

The science of supplementation began with the identification of vitamins C and D in the early 20th century. As research advanced, more supplements were developed to support specific metabolic processes and health benefits.

Today, supplements like NAD+ are well-defined and more effective. Delivery format is as important as the supplement itself—an area where Riize NAD+ stands out. Riize offers a fast-acting, oral dissolving film strip that enters the system immediately. Riize NAD+ strips work 5x faster and are 10x more efficient than pills or powders, with 100% clean ingredients.

Other Ways to Increase NAD+

Increasing NAD+ levels can be achieved in a variety of ways. Exercise is one of the easiest ways to boost NAD+ levels, in addition to benefitting overall health. One study found that older adults who exercised rigorously had NAD+ levels similar to young adults. Regular exercise not only enhances DNA-rebuilding proteins in the body, but also helps maintain strength and a healthy weight. Because regular workouts need more NAD+ for energy, the body responds by producing more of it.

Diet can also support NAD+ synthesis. Foods rich in vitamin B3—like beef, eggs, avocados, salmon, broccoli, cucumber, cabbage, some fruits, and milk—provide small amounts of NAD+ and its precursors. Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kefir, and kombucha also contain NAD+. However, diet alone typically cannot replace age-related declines, making supplementation necessary.
