so NAD and nadh basically play catch with electrons and that's 99% of what NAD is doing in the body

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so NAD is again one of the most ubiquitous molecules in the body and most of what it does and I mean most meaning like somewhere between five and 600 Pathways of it utilize NAD as a co-actor meaning that it's not consumed in a chemical reaction but rather it serves as an electron shutle so NAD and nadh basically play catch with electrons
NAD is vital for >450 enzymes including for energy & sirtuins, which are anti-viral (e.g. HIV, Flu, CMV) but no human evidence exists.
so the sirtuins the parps yep and about 500 other enzymes lots of insects but they're not the others aren't that interesting they are the enzymes that people have discovered mostly in the 20th century responsible for life they're important but they're boring these are the enzymes that do everything they make energy they make protein they need nad
so the sirtuins yeah parps yep and about 500 other enzymes
there's more than 500 reactions that you need just to survive
