Let’s get into the science of NAD⁺ . Short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (don’t worry, it’s friendlier than it looks), this coenzyme is found in every cell of the body. Often described as a “cellular battery,” it fuels essential processes such as energy production, DNA repair, inflammation regulation, and overall cellular health. All of which are critical for maintaining youthful, resilient-looking skin.
NAD⁺ naturally peaks in early adulthood, then gradually declines over time. By midlife, levels can be significantly lower than in youth. This reduction means cells have less “energy” to repair damage, renew themselves and maintain a strong skin barrier. The result? Skin may appear duller, fine lines become more noticeable, and resilience against daily stressors decreases.
NAD⁺ is far from new to science, recent innovation has made it possible to harness it in topical skincare.
But, how can we get NAD⁺ in the foods we eat?
This is what we call at GERI G.® the foundation of Transceutical® Way of Life, where what you eat becomes how your skin performs.
By fueling the body with nutrients that support NAD⁺ production, you are activating one of the most powerful pathways for cellular renewal, collagen support, and visible skin vitality.
At GERI G.® Beauty, we believe the skin is not treated, it is supported. True radiance is built from within through intentional nourishment, cellular energy, and consistent care.
