NAD Energy Levels can be measured by means of two simple blood tests at your local labs. (This website provide the blood request forms - http://www.nutrimalaika.net) NAD Energy Deficiency (NED) differs from energy deficiency that is defined as the lack of food and in its worst state is called famine. NED is the cellular energy metabolic state, irrespective of the amount of food available or consumed, that develops and persists when there is not enough molecules of NAD and the other energy metabolic cofactors or energy factories (mitochondria) to convert the organic energy in food to chemical energy for use in the cells, tissues and organs. NED is insufficient chemical energy for life and must not be confused with the spiritual or psychological exhaustion, which often accompanies it or is confused with it. There are several definitions and descriptions of physical energy and they lead to confusion on the part of most people. Parents, for example, incorrectly think that a hyperactive child (kinetic energy) possesses too much physical energy, when he merely has to little energy (chemical) to lead a controlled life. Before the organic energy in food can be carried into the body's cells it must first be converted by means of several steps, like digestion and metabolic processes, so that it can then be released as chemical energy in the cells. Such released energy in cells only then becomes available, so that conscious and subconscious activities (kinetic energy) can take place on the physical, psychological and spiritual level. Research indicated, that 90% of our physical energy must be made available from the biochemical processes in the cells. Some people experience problems with the metabolic processes, even though enough nutritional particles are available due to a lack of sufficient mitochondria for the final conversion of nutritional particles to an adequate amount of chemical energy cannot be made available. Such conditions are referred to as NAD Energy Deficiency (NED), in order to distinguish them from chronic fatigue, which is merely one form of NED. ---- A lot of myths exist about energy for living and about what it actually is. By dissecting everything into its smaller components one will eventually end up with nothing. This is the wonder of life, that only God could have created everything from nothing. The NAD energy required by our bodies is not mysterious vibration but is applicable chemical compounds changing from one form to another, and during the change, NAD energy is released that can be used for all human activities. Just as a motor car cannot run on potatoes, our bodies cannot function on the vibrations of music or whatever. The nett result is: if the required chemical compounds are not present no appropriate NAD energy can be released for utilisation by our bodies' cells, irrespective of other vibrations or resonances that could still be available. Prof Hans Krebs received the Nobel prize for medicine and physiology in 1953 for describing the cell's energy metabolic cycle and all the chemical compounds involved. No behaviour is possible without the body, during the earthly part of one's life. All human activity (irrespective of whether it occurs on purpose, instinctively, knowingly or unknowingly), except dying, requires NAD energy to take place, to be suppressed, maintained or controlled. If the body has enough NAD energy in a usable form at its disposal, it can perform activities like eating, laughing, mourning, obedience, sleeping, praying, deciding, learning, playing, contemplation, conversion, attending church, concentration, cellular replacement, breathing, digestion, dreaming, sport, working, sex, temperature regulation and millions of other functions. The greater the amount of usable NAD energy and available quantity thereof, the higher the quality of life and functioning. The brain, for example, uses ten times more NAD energy than any other organ and has a very limited supply of NAD energy, which has to be replenished continuously. The bodies of NED sufferers do not on their own produce enough NAD energy, to be able to perform all of these activities and this makes their bodies unstable. "Energy metabolism is defined as the sum of complex and integrated chemical reactions by which the body derives energy from the environment and maintains the proper functioning of all biologic processes. The final common pathway for all these processes is the complete oxidation of carbohydrates and fats and partial oxidation of proteins to carbon dioxide and water. These processes occur primarily in the mitochondria and are coupled to the biochemical reactions of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (better known as the Krebs cycle)". "At the cellular level, energy is used to make new proteins, to bring nutrients into a cell and expel cellular wastes, to repair damaged DNA, to synthesize neurotransmitters, etc. At the organ level, the heart uses energy to pump blood, the kidneys use energy to filter wastes while recycling precious nutrients, the brain uses energy to conduct electrical nerve impulses, the lungs use energy to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and so on. At the level of the whole person, we use energy to walk, run, talk, chop wood, lift objects, work a computer keyboard, ad infinitum. The energy source for all these levels is the same - it is the bio-energy molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) the "universal energy currency of the cell" Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted from one form into another. This rule also applies to the generation of energy in the human body. The energy, that is stored in food, must be released or produced in the body, by means of particular chemical reactions referred to as metabolism. Dietary carbohydrate from which humans gain energy enters the body in complex forms. The major source of dietary carbohydrate for humans is starch from consumed plant material. This is supplemented with a small amount of glycogen from animal tissue, disaccharides such as sucrose from products containing refined sugar and lactose in milk.
NAD deficiency can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor dietary intake of NAD precursors like niacin and tryptophan, as well as conditions that increase NAD consumption such as metabolic disorders and chronic inflammation. Genetic mutations affecting NAD biosynthesis or utilization can also contribute to NAD deficiency.
During intense exercise, muscle cells produce lactate as a byproduct of anaerobic energy metabolism when oxygen supply is limited. This process helps regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis to continue and sustain energy production. Lactate can be metabolized in the liver or other tissues to produce more energy or converted back to pyruvate for further energy production.
NAD gains energy during cellular respiration by accepting high-energy electrons released during the breakdown of glucose. These electrons are transferred to NAD+ and converted into NADH, which can then participate in the electron transport chain to generate ATP, the cell's primary energy source.
Regenerating NAD during fermentation is crucial because NAD is an essential coenzyme required for the conversion of glucose into energy through glycolysis. Without sufficient NAD levels, the fermentation process would be disrupted, leading to a decrease in energy production and the accumulation of toxic byproducts. Regeneration of NAD ensures the efficient continuation of fermentation and the production of desired end products.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is not considered a high-energy molecule in itself; rather, it functions as an electron carrier in redox reactions within cells. It exists in a balanced state with its reduced form, NADH, which stores energy. When NAD+ accepts electrons during metabolic processes, it becomes NADH, which can then donate these electrons to the electron transport chain to generate ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell. Thus, while NAD+ plays a critical role in energy metabolism, it is not a high-energy molecule on its own.

In a terse manner, Niacin (B3) is used in the human body to form coenzymes NAD and NADP - two very important components that are involved in energy production. Pellagra is the main deficiency of Niacin.
NAD is a coenzyme that plays a key role in cellular energy production, while NAD is the oxidized form of NAD that is involved in various metabolic processes in the body.
NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production. NAD is crucial for various metabolic reactions in the body, including converting nutrients into energy and supporting cellular functions.
NADH has more energy than NAD. NADH contains high-energy electrons that can be used in cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the cell's main energy currency. NAD serves as an electron carrier in various metabolic reactions.
