> What is this?
I think NAD+ protects cell chromosome telomeres from shrinking, and may even repair and lengthen them. Telomeres act as protective caps at the end of chromosomes. As one ages, telomeres, which participate in cell division, shrink and lose their protective properties. In addition, many pathways use NAD+ in energy production. Some people take NMN, which is a precursor to NAD+. I don't know why. I'd like to find out. Perhaps NMN is more efficient at passing across the blood-brain barrier or can be administered orally.
