Natural Ways to Increase NAD+ Levels

Daily Habits That May Support NAD+

1. Eat NAD+ Precursor-Rich Foods

Your body makes NAD+ using nutrients like vitamin B3, tryptophan, and other precursors. Some of the best food sources include:

• Mushrooms
  
• Salmon and tuna
  
• Avocados
  
• Lentils
  
• Chicken and turkey
  
• Fermented foods (e.g., yogurt, kimchi)
  
  

Eating a varied, whole-food diet can give your body the raw materials it needs for NAD+ synthesis.

2. Exercise Consistently

Research suggests that moderate, regular exercise may stimulate pathways that recycle NAD+. Both strength training and cardio may help.

Consistency matters more than intensity here—even brisk walking, yoga, or dancing counts.
‍

3. Get Quality Sleep

Sleep is when your body restores and regulates many biological systems, including NAD+ metabolism. Try:

• Avoiding screens before bed
  
• Sticking to a sleep routine
  
• Creating a dark, cool bedroom environment
  
  

4. Consider Intermittent Fasting

Some early research suggests that time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting may help activate NAD+-related pathways. Consult with your licensed healthcare provider before making any dietary changes.

Supplements: NR and NMN

Over-the-counter supplements, like nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), provide your body with building blocks that may help support NAD+ levels.

These are available without a prescription, although absorption varies from person to person. Some users report benefits, others do not notice a difference.

When to Consider NAD+ Injections

If diet and lifestyle changes aren’t enough—or you want a more direct approach—you may want to explore NAD+ injections.

Unlike oral supplements, injections bypass digestion and may offer:

• More consistent delivery
  
• Personalized dosing
  
• Potentially faster effects
  
  

They are available only by prescription and should always be administered under the guidance of a licensed provider.
