Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)

NAD+ (also shown as NADH) is one of the most critical coenzymes that exists in  every living cell within your body. Generally, a coenzyme is a small, organic  molecule (typically a vitamin) that binds to an enzyme (a protein) and provides a  catalyst to create a reaction. In the case of NAD+ specifically, this Vitamin B3  coenzyme is essential to energy metabolism and to maintaining proper cell  function. Every cell in the human body relies on NAD+ for the proper functioning  of our mitochondria (the power plants in our cells). In short, NAD+ enables the  body to take molecules from food and donate them to the mitochondria to be  utilized as energy. 

Recent research suggests that NAD+ also appears to help sirtuins (a class of  proteins that regulate cellular health) do their job. Among their many important  functions, sirtuins are responsible for regulating biological pathways, turning  genes on and off and protecting cells from age-related decline. NAD+ increases  the activity of specific sirtuins that encourage the formation of new mitochondria  and helps maintain the length of telomeres (the end caps on DNA strands) which  are associated with physical longevity.

As we age, NAD+ levels decrease within our bodies. In fact, by the time you are  50, you have about half the level of NAD+ that you had at age 20. Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as overeating, eating high-fat, inflammatory foods, regularly consuming alcohol and experiencing prolonged periods of stress can actually accelerate the aging process and deplete your NAD+ stores.  

Periodically supplementing NAD+ to restore optimal levels through IV therapy can help. NAD+ is currently being researched in over 1,000 clinical studies.  Among its most notable benefits, NAD+ is often used for:

If you are experiencing abnormal stress from life that can lead to brain fog,  chronic fatigue syndrome, low energy, low endurance, and low strength, then  NAD+ is for you.  We can work to increase your  NAD+ supply directly through NAD+ IV therapy. Our licensed medical staff will answer any questions you may have about NAD+ and the process of administering it. They will then start an IV in your arm to administer the NAD+  and stay with you to monitor the treatment. NAD+ IV’s are administered at a rate comfortable to each client, which is usually 2 – 4 hours, depending on how many milligrams are being administered. During your visit, you can sit back, watch a  movie or a favorite show, browse social media, or even work while the treatment  is in progress.  

Once your NAD+ levels are replenished, your body’s processes are able to perform better as they navigate the daily challenges of aging, fighting the effects of stress, intense exercise, sleep disruption, and many other lifestyle stressors.
