This ratio has been reported to decline with age, with NAD + being decreased and NADH increased in older individuals.[2] While boosting the amount of NAD + has been getting a lot of attention, improving the ratio between NAD + and NADH might be more significant than the amount of cellular NAD + in isolation.[3] In yeast experiments, calorie restriction decreases NADH much more dramatically than it affects NAD + .[4,5] This decrease in NADH is important for enhancing lifespan, because, on its own, it increases activity of the NAD + -consuming enzymes that boost longevity processes (e.g., Sirtuins) and DNA repair (e.g

Absorption problems Even with adequate intake, absorption can be reduced by: Certain gastrointestinal conditions affecting the stomach or small intestine Some medications Age-related reduction in stomach acid (which can affect absorption) Autoimmune gastritis (often historically referred to as pernicious anaemia) This is a well-recognised cause of B12 deficiency and may require ongoing management
