NAD+ vs. Glutathione
| Attribute | NAD+ | Glutathione |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Mechanism | NAD+ restoration → mitochondrial fuel | Antioxidant master regulator (GSH) |
| Cellular Target | Sirtuins, PARP, mitochondrial ETC | Oxidative stress, glutathione peroxidase |
| Best For | Energy, longevity, DNA repair, alcohol detox | Skin brightening, liver support, oxidative load |
| Administration | IV, SC injection, oral (NMN/NR precursors) | IV, SC injection, oral (liposomal) |
| Combined Use | Often co-administered in IV drip protocols | Often co-administered in IV drip protocols |
Verdict: NAD+ and Glutathione address complementary aspects of cellular health - NAD+ powers the cell, Glutathione protects it. They are frequently combined in IV wellness protocols for maximum synergy.
