87: What's the Difference Between NAC and NAD+? From Detoxification, Respiratory Health, Cellular Health and Energy Production. Breaking Down Differences and Noticing Similarities
NAC is a precursor to glutathione, the body's most powerful antioxidant. It helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation and support detoxification.
While NAD+ or (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for energy production and DNA repair. It plays a key role in mitochondrial function, helping cells generate ATP (cellular energy).
NAC and NAD both provide critical support for cellular function but in different ways.
NAC helps with detoxification and antioxidant support, while NAD is essential for energy production and longevity. The best approach depends on your goals—whether it's long-term wellness or rapid intervention.
