NAD Panel :– Advanced Cellular Energy & Longevity Assessment

Available in Delhi and across India through collaboration with the Nutripath Lab.

Overview

Optimal cellular energy production and metabolic balance are fundamental to long-term health, performance, and healthy aging. NutriPATH’s NAD Panel is a comprehensive laboratory assessment designed to evaluate key biomarkers involved in mitochondrial energy generation, antioxidant protection, detoxification capacity, and metabolic efficiency.

By measuring NAD and related metabolites, this panel provides valuable insights into cellular aging, fatigue, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction , allowing clinicians to design targeted, personalized interventions.

Why Test NAD Levels?

Support Healthy Aging & Longevity

NAD⁺ levels naturally decline with age, contributing to reduced cellular repair, mitochondrial inefficiency, fatigue, and increased risk of age-related disease. Assessing NAD⁺ and its derivatives helps determine whether lifestyle, nutritional, or therapeutic strategies may support longevity and cellular resilience.

Improve Energy & Mitochondrial Function

Low energy, chronic fatigue, and poor exercise tolerance may be linked to impaired mitochondrial metabolism. The NAD Panel helps identify imbalances affecting ATP production and cellular vitality.

Strengthen Antioxidant & Detox Pathways

NADPH plays a central role in antioxidant defense and detoxification. This test evaluates how effectively the body neutralizes oxidative stress and manages environmental and metabolic toxins.

Enhance Metabolic Health

Ratios such as NAD⁺/NADH and NADP/NADPH reflect mitochondrial efficiency and redox balance. Disruptions in these ratios may contribute to metabolic disorders, inflammation, insulin resistance, and weight challenges.

Key Analytes Assessed in NAD Testing

• NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
  Essential coenzyme for mitochondrial energy production and ATP synthesis.
• NADH (Reduced NAD)
  Works alongside NAD⁺ in cellular respiration; imbalance may impair energy output and immune regulation.
• NADPH (Reduced NAD Phosphate)
  Critical for antioxidant defense, lipid synthesis, immune support, and detoxification.
• NADP (Oxidized NAD Phosphate)
  Involved in biosynthetic and repair pathways, including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis.
• NAM (Nicotinamide / Niacinamide)
  A vitamin B3 derivative and precursor to NAD⁺, supporting cellular repair and inflammatory balance.
• NA (Nicotinic Acid)
  Another B3 form contributing to NAD⁺ synthesis, lipid metabolism, and cardiovascular health.

Functional Ratios & Indices

• NAD⁺ / NADH Ratio
  Indicates cellular redox balance and energy metabolism efficiency.
• NADP / NADPH Ratio
  Reflects antioxidant capacity, detoxification efficiency, and oxidative stress regulation.
