NAD+ plays a critical role in cardiovascular health. Here’s what the research shows.

NAD+’s Role in Heart Health

1. Energy Production

The heart is the most energy-demanding organ. NAD+ is essential for:

  • Cardiac muscle energy production
  • Heart contractile function
  • Maintaining cardiac output

2. Blood Vessel Health

NAD+-dependent enzymes support:

  • Endothelial function (vessel lining)
  • Nitric oxide production (vasodilation)
  • Blood vessel flexibility

3. Blood Pressure Regulation

NAD+ helps regulate blood pressure through:

  • Vasodilation support
  • Inflammation reduction
  • Vascular tone management

Research Findings

NR and Blood Pressure

2019 (Scientific Reports):

  • 1000mg NR for 8 weeks
  • Reduced systolic blood pressure by 5mmHg
  • Improved arterial stiffness

NMN and Vascular Health

2021 (Cell Reports):

  • NMN improved blood vessel function in aged mice
  • Enhanced capillary density
  • Improved blood flow

Practical Implications

For Heart Health Support

  • NMN 500-1000mg or NR 300-600mg daily
  • Morning supplementation
  • Combine with omega-3 and CoQ10
  • Regular cardiovascular exercise

Important Notes

  • NAD+ supplements are not a replacement for heart medication
  • Consult your cardiologist before starting
  • Monitor blood pressure regularly
