Can NAD Help with Leaky Gut?
Yes, studies show that alcohol use can cause intestinal barrier dysfunction, and NAD replenishment can alleviate the injury...
One recent study showed that boosting NAD by Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) prevented ethanol-induced intestinal dysfunction by activation of epithelial mitochondrial function. Another recent study showed that a supplement cocktail that included nicotinamide riboside reversed gut barrier disruption and microbiota dysbiosis.
