The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the absorption, safety, and efficacy of an NAD+ supplement in healthy adults. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the change in NAD+ levels in whole blood from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo? Researchers will compare the NAD+ supplement to placebo to evaluate its absorption, safety, and efficacy. Participants will be asked to: * Complete questionnaires * Provide blood samples * Consume either the NAD+ supplement or a placebo for 55 days * Have their endothelial function evaluated

Change in NAD+ levels in whole blood from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo.
Change in NAD+ levels in whole blood from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo.
Time frame: Day 0 to 56
Change in NAD+ levels in whole blood from baseline to days 14 and 28 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo.
Change in NAD+ levels in whole blood from baseline to days 14 and 28 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo.
Time frame: Baseline to Days 14 and 28
Change from baseline to days 28 and 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in Cognitive function
Change from baseline to days 28 and 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in cognitive function, as assessed by the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Cognitive Function- Short Form 8a. Raw scores range from 8 to 40, with higher scores indicating better perceived cognitive function.
Time frame: Baseline to Days 28 and 56
Change from baseline to days 28 and 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in appearance and aesthetics
Change from baseline to days 28 and 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in appearance and aesthetics, as assessed by the Appearance and Aesthetics Likert Scale. The Appearance and Aesthetic Likert Scale is a five-point Likert scale that assesses participant level of satisfaction with their appearance. The scales ranges from 1-not satisfied at all to 5-very satisfied.
Time frame: Baseline to days 28 and 56
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in energy and metabolism
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in energy and metabolism, as assessed by plasma adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production
Time frame: Day 0 to 56
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in cellular health and longevity
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in cellular health and longevity, as assessed by mitochondrial depolarization via 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OH-dG)
Time frame: Day 0 to 56
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in oxidative stress
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in oxidative stress, as assessed by reduced glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) ratio
Time frame: Day 0 to 56
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in cardiometabolic health
Change from baseline to day 56 between the NAD+ supplement and placebo in cardiometabolic health, as assessed by reactive hyperemia index (RHI) via EndoPAT machine
Time frame: Day 0 to 56
