Perimenopause Fatigue Is Real—Here’s How NAD+ Can Help Reignite Your Energy

Introduction: It’s Not Just “Getting Older”—It’s Cellular

Waking up tired after a full night’s sleep? Feeling like your brain needs a jumpstart by noon? You’re not alone—and you’re not imagining it. Fatigue is one of the most common (and frustrating) symptoms of perimenopause, the hormonal rollercoaster leading up to menopause.

But here's what many women don’t realize: that foggy, exhausted feeling might not just be about hormones. It could be a cellular energy crisis, tied to your body’s declining NAD+ levels.*


What Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter in Perimenopause?

NAD+ (short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a molecule your body uses in almost every cellular process—especially when it comes to:

  • Mitochondrial energy production*

  • DNA repair and oxidative stress response*

  • Brain function and metabolism*

But by the time you're in your late 30s or early 40s, your body naturally starts producing less NAD+—and those levels can drop by as much as 50% over time, according to research (Source).

When hormones are already in flux and your mitochondria are struggling, this drop can feel like someone pulled the plug on your power source.


How NAD+ Decline Shows Up in Perimenopause

Hormonal shifts during perimenopause already disrupt:

  • Sleep quality

  • Mental clarity

  • Metabolic function

Now layer in lower NAD+ levels, and you’ve got a recipe for:

  • Fatigue you can’t shake, even with sleep

  • Brain fog and short-term memory hiccups

  • Slower recovery after exercise or stress

  • A general “blah” feeling that’s hard to define—but impossible to ignore

Sound familiar?


A Smarter Way to Support Energy (No More Extra Coffee)

Instead of over-relying on caffeine or pushing through exhaustion, supporting NAD+ levels may offer a natural and sustainable way to restore cellular energy—especially in women navigating perimenopause.

Clinical studies suggest supplementing with Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)—a bioavailable NAD+ precursor—can help support NAD+ production in the body.*

That means:

  • Better energy from within—not a synthetic stimulant*

  • Support for brain and mood regulation*

  • Help for cells as they adapt to hormonal stressors*
