NADPH, derived from NAD, is essential for anabolic processes such as forming carbon-carbon bonds, converting riboucleotides to deoxyriboucleotides, synthesizing lipids, and repairing cellular components.

“So let's call out the other two which are NADP++ and NADPH which is which are really really important for anabolism anabolism right making stuff right so we like to say that metabolism is the set of processes by which we convert everything that we eat into everything that we are and everything that we do and the maintenance of all of the things that we are and and do, right? >> So, one of the really amazing things that NAD co-enzymes can do is they can um take the high energy electrons on NAD, which is NADH, and get those high energy electrons put onto NADP forming NADPH. And then NADPH can distribute those high energy or direct those high energy electrons to do things like form carboncarbon bonds, convert riboucleotides into deoxy ribboucleotides, right?”
