Aging
Summary
The body stops producing NAD as we age, which can lead to a dysregulated inflammasome causing cytokine storms, as well as an inability for the body to fight off infections or turn on itself. Patients in certain hospitals are being dosed with NAD to test its ability to provide resilience and defend against aging-related issues.
