NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) plays a key role in female fertility by supporting mitochondrial function and cellular energy production in oocytes. Research shows that age-related declines in NAD+ contribute to reduced egg quality and ovarian aging, leading to infertility, while restoring NAD+ levels can improve oocyte health, reduce chromosomal abnormalities, and enhance embryo development. NAD+ also aids in DNA repair and regulates oxidative stress, creating a more favorable environment for egg maturation and implantation.
Additionally, NAD+ infusions may modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, further supporting fertility. Overall, NAD+ supplementation or therapy shows promise in preserving ovarian function, improving egg quality, and enhancing the chances of successful conception.
