NAD+ is like the fuel that powers your cellular engines (mitochondria). It declines with age, and low NAD+ = less energy, slower repair, more aging.

Synthetic Boosters:
- NAD+ Shots (like you took): Fast, potent but temporary. Effects last 1–3 days at full strength, with residual benefits lingering. Best taken weekly or bi-weekly depending on goals.
- Precursors like NMN or NR (supplements): Taken orally to help your body naturally make more NAD+. Daily use works better long-term.
Natural Ways to Boost NAD+:
- Intermittent Fasting (✅ you’re already doing this daily)
- Exercise (especially HIIT and resistance training)
- Sauna or Cold Plunge (shock proteins boost NAD+)
- Low-carb / keto (stimulates SIRT1 which relies on NAD+)
- Sleep (deep rest improves mitochondrial cleanup)

These shorten with every cell division. When they’re gone? The cell retires. Game over.

To Protect Telomeres:
- Astragalus Root or TA-65 (derived from astragalus) — legit telomerase activator.
- Omega-3s — anti-inflammatory and protective.
- Vitamin D (✅ already in your stack)
- Meditation & Stress Reduction — cortisol wrecks telomeres.
- Antioxidants — berries, green tea, resveratrol, turmeric.
- Good Sleep — deep, consistent sleep helps DNA repair.

NMN is a direct NAD⁺ precursor proven to boost mitochondrial function and cellular repair. PMC Indiatimes
Resveratrol offers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; albeit human longevity proof is still emerging, its benefits are consistent. Healthline The Sun Verywell Health
Astragalus activates telomerase and supports immune function, offering real anti-aging value. Wikipedia

Fully synergistic: NMN supports NAD⁺, resveratrol enhances sirtuin activation, and astragalus preserves telomere length.
Minimal overlap, maximum effect: Each supplement targets a different pillar of anti-aging—energy, DNA protection, and telomeres.
