LONGEVITY SUPPLEMENTS LIKE NAD+: A GYNECOLOGIST’S PERSPECTIVE ON WOMEN’S HEALTH AND AGING
As a gynecologist, I’ve spent decades helping women navigate the complex and often frustrating changes that come with aging. One of the most exciting developments in women’s health is the emergence of science-backed longevity supplements—nutrients that support cellular function and healthy aging. Among the most promising is NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a compound found in every cell of the body that plays a key role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular regeneration.
As women move through perimenopause and menopause, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to fatigue, brain fog, poor metabolic health, and accelerated aging.
Supplementing with NAD+ precursors, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), has been shown to support mitochondrial function—the energy factories in our cells—while promoting clearer thinking, improved endurance, better sleep, and even healthier skin. From a hormonal perspective, NAD+ also works synergistically with estrogen and testosterone pathways to optimize metabolic balance and maintain a youthful cellular environment.
For women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, this means greater vitality, stronger resistance to age-related disease, and an improved quality of life as the years go on.
While NAD+ supplements are not a substitute for lifestyle foundations like healthy eating, stress reduction, and sleep, they can be a powerful addition to a proactive wellness plan—especially when combined with personalized hormone therapy.
As with any supplement, it’s essential to choose pharmaceutical-grade products and consult with a knowledgeable provider to ensure safety and efficacy.
The future of aging gracefully and vibrantly is no longer a fantasy. With tools like NAD+ and other longevity-supporting therapies, women now have more options than ever to thrive well into their later decades.
