In fact, an estimated 200 enzymes – including dehydrogenases – require NAD and NADP as coenzymes. As an electron carrier, NAD+ is necessary for oxidative reactions that occur in the cytosol and mitochondria. Due to its capacity to extract energy from substrates, NAD+ is fundamental to cellular health. NAD+ is also required for carbohydrate oxidation during adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePharmacokinetics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorption:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNicotinamide is absorbed predominantly in the small intestine via facilitated diffusion.
