The effects of collagen peptide, supplementation on body composition, collagen synthesis, and recovery from joint injury and exercise: systematic review. Khatri, Naughton, Clifford

Exercise Best NAD+ booster : High-intensity exercise Why it works : Stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis Enhances NAD+ production Improves NAD+ recycling Activates sirtuins Optimal approach : 3-4 HIIT sessions weekly Zone 2 cardio 2-3x weekly Resistance training 3-4x weekly Synergy with peptides : Exercise + NAD+ peptides = maximum mitochondrial benefit Diet NAD+ supporting foods : Foods rich in tryptophan (turkey, chicken, fish) B-vitamins (NAD+ precursor synthesis) Magnesium (cofactor for NAD+ enzymes) Caloric restriction : Boosts NAD+ levels naturally Intermittent fasting (16:8) Occasional 24-hour fasts Overall moderate calorie intake Foods to limit : Excessive alcohol (depletes NAD+) High sugar intake (oxidative stress) Sleep Quality sleep critical : NAD+ regenerates during sleep Optimize sleep : 7-9 hours nightly Consistent schedule Dark, cool environment Limit blue light evening NAD+ peptides improve sleep : Many report better sleep quality with MOTS-c Supplements Synergistic with NAD+ peptides : NMN or NR: 250-500mg daily (oral NAD+ precursors) Resveratrol: 250-500mg daily (sirtuin activator) CoQ10: 100-200mg daily (mitochondrial support) Magnesium: 300-400mg daily (cofactor) B-complex: Daily (NAD+ synthesis) Combined approach : Peptides + supplements + lifestyle = maximum NAD+ optimization Frequently asked questions Q: What is the best NAD+ peptide

A simple blood test measuring total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, and estradiol can confirm whether low testosterone is contributing to these symptoms
