NAD+
We currently offer NAD+ in injection form, as well as through an IV infusion. Schedule an appointment today to determine which route is best for you!
NAD+ has been touted as a “miracle molecule” that helps to power the body’s cells by lengthening and strengthening our DNA structures and optimizing energy production. Benefits of NAD+ therapy are reported to include improved brain function, decreased anxiety and depression, increased energy, improved immune system, decreased inflammation and improved recovery from exercise. Though the body produces NAD+ on its own, the amount produced dramatically decreases as we age. Add an NAD+ infusion or injection to your wellness treatment today and boost your body’s ability to resist and reverse the aging process!
Benefits of NAD+:
Helps restore and elevates energy production
Promotes positive brain function and feelings of wellbeing
Helps protect and strengthen DNA
Supports lowering and controlling blood sugar
Plays a positive role in sleep cycles
Elevates athletic function via energy production and improved recovery
Supports a healthy immune system
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a fundamental molecule found in every cell of your body, serving as a crucial coenzyme in various biological processes.
It’s a prevalent cellular electron transporter essential for cell function and viability, existing in multiple forms including its reduced state (NADH) and phosphorylated forms (NADP+ and NADPH). Your body uses NAD+ in several vital processes.
It’s required for every step of cellular respiration, from glycolysis in the cytoplasm to the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain in the mitochondria. Beyond energy production, NAD+ plays key roles in manufacturing cholesterol, creating nucleic acids, elongating fatty acids, and regenerating glutathione, an important antioxidant.
Your body naturally produces NAD+ from various sources, including the amino acid tryptophan and vitamin B3 (niacin) and its vitamin precursors nicotinic acid. However, NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. Two studies have shown that NAD+ levels in the human brain decline with age, with reductions ranging from approximately 10% to 25% between young adulthood and old age.
The decline in NAD+ levels is particularly significant because NAD+ is consumed during various cellular processes and other metabolic pathways and can become depleted over time. This depletion contributes to increased DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and can lead to severe metabolic dysfunction and age-related illnesses.
Potential Health Benefits of NAD+
NAD+ supplementation offers a remarkable range of potential health benefits. These benefits extend across several key areas of health and performance:
Cognitive Function and Brain Health
For cognitive function, NAD+ enhances mental clarity, memory, and focus by supporting neuronal health. The brain, being an energy-intensive organ, particularly benefits from NAD+’s role in cellular energy production and DNA repair. NAD+ may help in conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and ischemic brain injury by supporting brain health and potentially improving cognitive function.
Physical Performance and Energy Production
In terms of physical performance, NAD+ improves muscle function and recovery time while supporting energy metabolism during intense activities. This makes it particularly valuable for athletes and active individuals looking to optimize their training results.
Anti-Aging Benefits and Healthy Aging
One of NAD+’s most significant impacts is on the aging process. It helps repair DNA damage and regulates proteins that control aging, potentially slowing cellular aging and supporting longevity. This process is fundamental to maintaining optimal cellular health and function.
Weight Management and Metabolic Support
Cellular metabolism depends critically on NAD+, which also shapes how your body generates energy from food. Increasing NAD+ levels could increase your metabolic efficiency, thereby helping with weight loss and fat oxidation. Furthermore helping weight loss initiatives is the potential of NAD+ to increase energy generation, which helps people keep more active lives.
Additional Benefits
Beyond these primary benefits like anti-aging benefits, NAD+ supports overall wellness by:
Enhancing immune system function
Improving sleep quality
Supporting metabolic health
Aiding in addiction recovery
Managing chronic fatigue
Reducing inflammation
The wide-ranging benefits of NAD+ stems from its fundamental role in cellular function, making it a powerful tool for those seeking to optimize their health and performance while supporting healthy aging.
