Menopause And NAD+

NAD+ and Menopause: Can This Tiny Molecule Help You Feel Like Yourself Again?

Introduction:

Menopause can bring a lot of changes to a woman’s body, and sometimes, it feels like no one talks about it enough. One thing that may be making it harder is a natural drop in something called NAD+, a small molecule that helps keep your body running smoothly.

Here is what you need to know:

• Menopause often comes with symptoms like tiredness, hot flashes, poor sleep, and mood swings.

• These symptoms happen partly because your body’s hormone levels (like estrogen) start to drop.

• At the same time, your NAD+ levels, which support energy, repair, and cell health, also go down with age.

• Low NAD+ may make it harder for your body to cope with the changes of menopause.

• Researchers are now looking at ways to boost NAD+ to help women feel better during this stage of life.

What is NAD+?

You don’t need to be a scientist to understand NAD+. It is something your body already makes, and it’s working behind the scenes every single day.

Here is a simple breakdown:

• NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide.

• It is a tiny molecule found in every cell of your body.

• Its main job is to help your body turn food into energy.

• It also helps with cell repair, keeping your brain sharp, and reducing stress in your body.

• Think of NAD+ like a battery charger, when your levels are high, your cells are charged and ready to work.

• As you get older (and especially during menopause), your NAD+ levels naturally drop.

That’s why keeping your NAD+ levels healthy may help you feel more energized, focused, and balanced, especially when your hormones are shifting.

How Menopause Affects Your Body

Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, but that doesn’t make it easy. Your body goes through many changes, and it can feel like things are just “off.”

Here is what’s happening:

• During menopause, estrogen levels drop, this hormone helps regulate your mood, sleep, temperature, and more.

• Lower estrogen can lead to common symptoms like:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats

  • Tiredness and low energy

  • Poor sleep

  • Brain fog or memory changes

  • Mood swings

  • Joint or back pain

• These changes are linked to how your cells work less efficiently, especially when NAD+ levels are also low.

• Your body may struggle to repair itself, manage stress, or produce energy the way it used to.

It’s not just about hormones; your cellular health also plays a big role in how you feel during menopause. That is where NAD+ comes in.

Why NAD+ Levels Matter During Menopause

When you go through menopause, your hormone levels change, but so does something else you might not hear about your NAD+ levels.

Here’s why that matters:

• NAD+ helps your body make energy, repair damaged cells, and fight off stress.

• As you age, your NAD+ levels naturally drop, especially during and after menopause.

• Low NAD+ can make you feel:

  • More tired

  • More inflamed or achy

  • Less focused or mentally sharp

  • Slower to bounce back from stress or illness

• This drop may also worsen symptoms like poor sleep, hot flashes, and low energy.

• Some researchers believe that supporting NAD+ levels could help relieve some menopause symptoms by improving how your body functions at a cellular level.

How to Support or Boost Your NAD+ Levels

If low NAD+ levels are part of the problem, the good news is that there are ways to help your body make more of it naturally or with support.

Here are a few simple and safe ways:

• Exercise regularly
  Moving your body, even a daily walk, can naturally boost NAD+ and improve energy and mood.

• Get enough sleep
  Your body repairs and restores itself while you sleep. Poor sleep drains NAD+, so good rest helps recharge your system.

• Eat healthy foods
  Whole foods like green veggies, nuts, fish, and legumes support your body’s natural NAD+ production.
