Used in anti-aging research due to its role as a precursor to NAD+, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair. Helps support mitochondrial function and has been studied for potential benefits in age-related conditions such as neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular health. Commonly included in dietary supplements aimed at promoting longevity and cellular health. Also used in scientific studies exploring sirtuin activation, which is linked to lifespan regulation.
