and NAD+
Richard Mestayer III, MD
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an enzyme and co-substrate ubiquitous throughout the cells of the body, and it is particularly important within the mitochondria—the power source of nearly all human cells. While NAD+ has been identified for over 110 years as medically important, it has continued to be a subject of research in human health, particularly with regard to age-associated declines.
Join NAD+ expert Dr. Richard Mestayer III, MD to learn about the importance of NAD+ in the human body and how to use targeted supplementation protocols to address clinical signs and symptoms commonly associated with aging. Dr. Mestayer will detail NAD+ biochemistry, describe the latest discoveries from peer-reviewed research publications, and share clinical anecdotes to help illustrate the importance of NAD+. Clinical protocols and case studies will be shared.
