NAD+ & Cellular Energy Protocol

What the research says about NAD+ precursors, who might benefit, and how to cycle them.

1. 01

   Understand the evidence

   NAD+ declines with age. NR and NMN raise blood NAD+ in humans; clinical outcomes are still being studied.

2. 02

   Start low

   250–500mg per day in the morning. Assess energy and sleep for 4–6 weeks.

3. 03

   Pair with exercise

   Exercise itself boosts NAD+ — supplements are not a substitute.

4. 04

   Consider metabolic tracking

   A CGM can show how your energy correlates with diet and timing.
