What is NAD+?
NAD+, or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a coenzyme present in all living cells. It is essential for generating energy within the body, aiding the breakdown of fats in the liver, and facilitating the creation of ATP, a significant energy source for cells. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in DNA repair and maintenance.
Increasing your body's NAD+ levels might help with numerous diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and potentially improve mental clarity, alertness, concentration, and memory. Additionally, it could improve athletic endurance and alleviate symptoms of chronic fatigue.
NAD+ has also been studied for its benefits with Anti-aging/Mitochondrial Support, Energy, Neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Multiple sclerosis, PTSD/ Mood, Lyme Disease, Metabolic disorders, and Pain management.
Types of NAD Therapy
Consult a healthcare professional for personalized dosing.
• Oral supplementation: NAD+ precursors, such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) or nicotinamide riboside (NR), can be taken orally. Generally, a high-quality B-complex is sufficient
• Intravenous (IV) infusion: It can also be administered intravenously. This potent form of NAD+ therapy is performed in medical settings.
• Intramuscular (IM) injection: It can be directly injected into the muscle, which provides direct absorption into the bloodstream.
• Subcutaneous (SQ or SC) injection: It can be directly injected into the tissue under the skin, which provides direct absorption into the bloodstream
Important Considerations
NAD+ therapy is still experimental, and ongoing research is needed to determine optimal dosages and administration routes for various conditions. Therefore, it should be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Potential benefits of NAD+ therapy include increased energy production, improved cellular repair, detoxification support, and potential anti-aging effects. Possible side effects include skin irritation, flushing, or headaches. Inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning to become pregnant, or taking other medications, as NAD+ therapy can interact with certain medications
