Oxidative stress in the brain increases with age.
NAD+ depletes in direct correlation.
Research "emphasizes the pivotal role of NAD+ in the regulation of DNA repair,
stress resistance, and cell death, suggesting that NAD+ synthesis through the
kynurenine pathway and/or salvage pathway is an attractive target for therapeutic
intervention in age-associated degenerative disorders."

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) levels decrease during aging
and are involved in age-related metabolic decline.
Scientists "demonstrated that NAD+ availability decreases over age,
reducing sirtuin activities and affecting the communication between the nucleus and
mitochondria at a cellular level...These dynamic cellular and systemic processes likely
contribute to the development of age-associated functional decline ..To mitigate these
age-associated problems, supplementation of key NAD+ intermediates is currently
drawing significant attention."
