Alzheimer’s disease, along with various forms of dementia, presents one of the greatest healthcare challenges of our time, affecting millions of individuals and their families worldwide. This World Alzheimer’s Month, we here at NADclinic want to focus on the scientific advancements that could one day make these debilitating disorders something of the past.
This article explains how NAD+ could be the key to preventing age-related neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and dementia by supporting cognitive function and neuroplasticity.
What are Neurodegenerative Disorders?
Diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and dementia are classed as Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) – are caused by degeneration of the brain and usually becomes apparent with ageing. It is not just a normal part of ageing, but it is extremely prevalent, with over 55 million people worldwide living with Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia.
There are no definitive preventative measures or treatments for NDs yet, but research has shown that various lifestyle habits are linked to them, such as:
- Alcohol & Substance Use
- Diet
- Exercise
Although having a healthier lifestyle is crucial to cognitive health and reducing the risk of NDs, it is still not clear if it can completely offset the genetic risk of contracting one of these disorders.
However, with all of life’s stressors, it can be hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle that supports us as we age. This is where NAD+ can be helpful. Supplementing your NAD+ levels through oral supplements or infusions – as well as making healthier lifestyle choices – can help you get your body back on track and give you more peace of mind as you age.
NAD+ and The Brain
NAD+ is a coenzyme that drives key metabolic processes in the body and works with the mitochondria in all of our body’s cells to generate energy. It also is shown to decline with age – whereas neurodegenerative disorders increase their prominence over time.
A study in the American National Library of Medicine states that lowering NAD+ levels are related to an increase in the main indicators of brain ageing, such as damage through oxidation and inflammation. It has also been proven in recent studies that NAD+ is able to make its way into the brain, leading to potentially life-changing scientific discoveries about its effect on brain function.
Without knowing NAD+’s potential once reaching the brain, its positive effects on the rest of the body – including some of the key risk factors that cause brain degeneration – are already proven. By improving the body’s ability to repair DNA and fight off inflammation and chemical stress, it supports a healthy ageing process, giving you the best chance at preventing some of the leading causes of NDs.
