// Longevity
Cellular maintenance.
Compounding gains.
As you age, the machinery that produces energy, repairs DNA, and rebuilds connective tissue slows down. Longevity protocols target those underlying systems — not the symptoms. The result is usually subtle: more stamina across the day, faster recovery, gradual changes in body composition over months.
How this works in your body
NAD⁺ is a coenzyme central to mitochondrial energy production and DNA repair. Its levels fall steeply with age. MOTS-c is a peptide encoded in your mitochondrial DNA that signals improved insulin sensitivity and glucose handling. Both work at the cellular layer rather than producing a felt effect — you don't feel a buzz; the machinery just runs better.
Who does well
Adults pursuing longevity-focused therapy. Patients with persistent fatigue or recovery issues. People with metabolic syndrome features or pre-diabetic markers. Often combined with strength training and a deliberate nutrition plan — these protocols compound when paired with the basics.
Who should wait
Pregnancy is a contraindication for these protocols. Discuss with your provider if you're on cancer therapy — both NAD⁺ and certain peptides have theoretical interactions worth screening for.
What timelines look like
Some patients report energy improvement within days on NAD⁺. Lab markers (insulin sensitivity, fasting glucose) tend to shift over 8–12 weeks. Body composition and recovery changes show up subtly over months. These aren't dramatic interventions — they're the kind of compounding optimization people pursue alongside the rest of their habits.
