What is CD38 and why is it considered an “NAD+ killer”?

CD38 is basically the enzyme that chews up your NAD+ faster than you can make it.

People call it an NAD+ killer ‘cause it literally breaks NAD+ down.

As you age, CD38 activity goes up NAD+ goes down bad combo.

You can boost NAD+ all day, but if CD38’s high, it’s leaking out the bucket.

Inflammation cranks CD38 up, which is why chronic stress wrecks energy.

CD38 isn’t evil, it has immune jobs it’s just overactive with age.

This is why some folks don’t feel NAD supplements much.

High CD38 = less cellular energy, worse recovery, faster aging vibes.

Think of CD38 as the drain, NAD+ as the water.

Lower inflammation, better lifestyle = less CD38 damage long-term.
