NAD+ and Gut Health: The Connection You Need to Know
Emerging research shows NAD+ plays a role in gut health. Here’s what we know. NAD+’s Role in Gut Health 1. Intestinal Barrier Function NAD+ supports the intestinal lining by: Maintaining tight junctions Supporting cell turnover Preventing “leaky gut” 2. Gut Microbiome NAD+ metabolism interacts with gut bacteria: Gut bacteria produce NAD+ precursors NAD+ affects microbiome composition Bidirectional relationship 3. Inflammation Regulation NAD+ helps regulate gut inflammation: Reduces inflammatory cytokines in the gut Supports immune function in gut-associated lymphoid tissue May help with inflammatory bowel conditions Research Findings Animal Studies 2020 (Nature Communications): ...
