These side effects are typically minor and short-lived
Noticeable increases in energy and focus may be observed within days
NAD+ is a critical coenzyme involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, as well as serving as a substrate for NAD+-consuming enzymes including sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38
Additionally, its ability to optimize energy utilization may help maintain lean muscle mass during weight loss
These effects are studied as occurring through mechanisms distinct from the classical growth hormone receptor, and are not associated with changes in IGF-1 signaling in the models examined
