NAD - Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide - is a coenzyme found in ALL of our cells. NAD is essential for all of our Metabolic Health, this includes the processing of nutrients after we eat, DNA repair, the health of our cellular structure, and more. Our Metabolic Health is so much more than what is commonly referred to regarding weight when we hear the word Metabolism.
So what does NAD do?
Basically, it keeps each cell running like a tiny, well-oiled machine! And our bodies naturally produce NAD!
Unfortunately, studies have shown that our NAD levels decrease as we age. This has led scientists to suggest that declining NAD levels are associated with signs of aging and age-related illnesses. NAD levels are also decreased during moments of stress, after an illness, cancer, trauma, etc.
According to scientific research, a key to staying young is efficient DNA repair. Each strand of your DNA contains the blueprint for your entire body, but when it gets damaged, it can cause cells to die or mutate. This can create a number of problems, including cancer.
NAD is essential for repairing DNA and has even been shown to make old (damaged) tissue look young again! When your cells live longer and function in top form, you enjoy clearer skin and thicker hair, more energy, and less brain fog. You feel (and look) young!
In a 2017 study, elderly mice with damaged tissue were given a NAD supplement. Scientists observed an increase in protein interactions which resulted in greater DNA repair in cells!
When scientists took samples of the old tissue after the supplementation, they found that it was identical to the tissue of three-month-old mice! According to the study, NAD had actually rejuvenated the tissue and made it appear young again!
By supplementing our bodies with good NAD supplements and providing it with the accurate ratios needed of it's partners (ie. Liposomal VitC, Reservatol, etc), our body's begin to self repair!
I love DōTERRA’s MetaPWR so much because of how they use NAD supplements combined with the partners needed PLUS the addition of NMN! Within 10 minutes of entering our body, NMN causes our body to increase it's own production of NAD! So not only does MetaPWR provide the essential NAD supplementation that all of our bodies NEED, but it also provides everything needed for our bodies to increase NAD production on it's own!
Many have noticed an improvement in their bodies within the first 5 days of using MetaPWR! I believe this is because our bodies needed this NAD boost and MetaPWR is providing just that at a cellular level!
So in short, NAD is for:
Anti-aging
Muscle Production
Learning & Memory
Skin Health
Proper Distribution of Nutrients
Weight Management and More!
NAD helps our cells to work better, in all areas!
With love and health,
