Liposomal NAD+ is a supplement that has gained notoriety in recent years as a potential anti-aging remedy for the body and the brain. Liposomal technology delivers this NAD+ supplement in a way that improves its absorption and bioavailability. 

Compared to other forms of NAD+, such as liposomal NMN and NR, liposomal NAD+ has higher availability and is more easily absorbed. Today, we take a closer look at how this supplement works.

NAD+ and Aging

Elderly couple hanging out with their grandkids and having fun.NAD+ is a critical molecule in the body’s metabolic and energy processes,1 particularly for cell and tissue repair. The molecule also influences cellular functions, such as DNA repair and mitochondrial function.

Healthy NAD+ levels are essential for the proper functioning of all tissues in the body, and its levels naturally decline with age, thus making it a critical factor in the aging process. When NAD+ levels drop, our cells break down, resulting in accelerated aging, increased inflammation, metabolic disorders, and cognitive decline.

As people age, their levels of NAD+ naturally decrease2 due to a decrease in their body’s ability to produce it. Aging causes the body to experience a deterioration in nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR), two compounds necessary for producing NAD+.

As a result, the body cannot manufacture the required amounts of NAD+ as it needs to keep up with the demands of daily life. Cells become less capable of repairing themselves, leading to premature aging and other age-related health issues. However, replenishing NAD+ levels in our bodies can help slow aging while keeping our cells healthy.

Effects of NAD+ Deficiency on the Body and Brain

As we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decrease, resulting in a decrease in energy and an increase in age-related health problems. The effects of NAD+ deficiency are often noticeable in both the body and the brain.

In the body, NAD+ deficiency can lead to fatigue and muscle deterioration, which may contribute to health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases,3 and others. Furthermore, NAD+ regulates circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles,4 meaning its deficiency can disrupt these processes and lead to poor sleep.

In the brain, NAD+ deficiency can have serious consequences. NAD+ is essential for maintaining healthy neurons, so its deficiency can lead to cognitive decline5 and memory loss.

How Liposomal NAD+ can Help Increase NAD+ Levels in the Body

Liposomal NAD+ is a form of orally-administered NAD+ incorporated in ‘liposomes’,6 which are tiny lipid bubbles that help protect the ingredients from being prematurely broken down in the digestive system.

The liposomes work to increase the bioavailability of NAD+, meaning more of it is available for absorption by the body. By providing higher levels of NAD+ than other NAD+ supplements, liposomal NAD+ can help maintain and improve cellular health throughout the body and brain.

The potential liposomal NAD+ benefits include improved energy levels, mental clarity, physical endurance, cardiovascular health, and general longevity. Studies have found that supplementing with NAD+ can help restore and optimize mitochondrial function,7 which helps to reduce oxidative stress, a significant cause of aging.

Additionally, increased NAD+ levels may help reduce inflammation, another major contributor to aging. Finally, NAD+ can help to support cognitive health and function, reducing the age-related decline in memory and cognition.

DNA repair is another potential benefit of increased NAD+ levels. NAD+ acts as a coenzyme in synthesizing poly polymerase, an enzyme in DNA repair and damage prevention, suggesting that NAD+ supplementation could help reduce the accumulation of cellular damage as we age, leading to better overall health.

Though liposomal NAD+ is not a cure-all, it can help individuals maintain optimal health by increasing their NAD+ levels and improving overall cellular functioning. Supplementing with liposomal NAD+ may provide various potential benefits for those looking to slow down the effects of aging and maintain optimal health.

Liposomal NAD+ Bioavailability and Safety

Liposomal NAD+ supplements are typically safe and highly bioavailable, making liposomal NAD+ better absorbed in the body and providing higher levels of NAD+.

Overall, liposomal NAD+ is a safe and effective way to increase NAD+ levels in the body, which delivers potential anti-aging benefits. Consult your healthcare professional before beginning any new dietary supplements, and follow the instructions on the package label.

Liposomal NAD+ Side Effects

However, there may be some side effects associated with its use. Nausea, headaches, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping are among the common side effects. Less common side effects may include increased heart rate, dizziness, or restlessness.

Summary

Liposomal NAD+ has recently gained much attention as a potential anti-aging supplement due to its ability to increase levels of NAD+ in the body. NAD+ is an essential molecule that decreases with age, resulting in numerous changes in the body and brain. With increased levels of NAD+, many aspects of aging can be reversed, such as decreased energy levels, muscle weakness, cognitive decline, and more.

Liposomal NAD+ has a higher bioavailability than liposomal NMN and NR, which makes it an attractive option for those looking to increase their NAD+ levels. Remember to always consult a healthcare professional before beginning any new supplement regimen. With its promising potential to improve overall health and wellness, liposomal NAD+ is worth considering as one of the plethoras of anti-aging supplements.
