NAD+ for General Wellbeing

Just How Does It Work?

NAD+ is the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide which occurs naturally in the body and is found in all living cells. It is derived from Vitamin B3 (Niacin) and it is used by the body to generate energy.

It is considered an essential building block for life. Unfortunately, NAD+ levels decrease as you age and in response to illnesses. Boosting your NAD+ can help restore your healthy, natural levels and enhance your physical and mental wellbeing.

Can NAD+ Turn Back Your Cells Biological Clock?

Harvard researchers have found that NAD+ can reverse biochemical parameters associated with aging. When NAD+ levels decline, energy transfer at the cellular level breaks down, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. This dysfunction results in many of the physical symptoms of aging.

Fortunately, by increasing intracellular levels of NAD+, age-related mitochondrial dysfunction can be reversed along with many signs of aging. NAD+ has the power to rejuvenate and revitalize your cells, bringing back the energy and vigor of a younger you. In other words, NAD+ has the power to turn back your cells’ biological clock.

Unfortunately, NAD+ levels decrease as you age and in response to illnesses. Boosting your NAD+ can help restore your healthy, natural levels and enhance your physical and mental wellbeing.

NAD+ provides the body with cellular food by increasing levels of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) resulting in an array of benefits by enhancing the body’s ability to regulate metabolism, resist stressors, and repair DNA. These benefits include boosting energy and cognitive function, improving mood, and reversing symptoms of aging. This innovtive and exciting treatment has gained popularity because of the multiple benefits it offers with very minimal side effects.

NAD+ boosts cognitive function and energy, improves mood and memory, reduceds pain from inflammation, helps maintain muscle strength, and improves overall skin appearance.

Many athletes seek out NAD+ infusions trying to boost their performance or to recuperate quicker after an especially demanding workout. NAD+ infusions are gaining popularity among athletes due to the increased mitochondria ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production that follows the therapy. These infusions provide the body with ample fuel on the cellular level. Improvements in endurance, strength, stamina, and athletic performance have all been observed. There is a reason to believe that the IV route offers some distinct advantages over even a proper diet’s vitamin and nutrient supplementation. This is due to how it’s delivered directly into the bloodstream, completely bypassing the digestive system, allowing for 100% bioavailability. 

An exciting innovation in recent years is using NAD+ IV therapy for substance addiction.Abuse of alcohol, ilicit drugs, and opioids take an enormous physical, mental, and emotional toll on an individual. Luckily, evidence has shown that NAD+ infusions can play a valuable role in a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Basically, this coenzyme works well at repairing both the mind and body ravaged by sustained substance abuse. Working with sirtuins, a family of signaling proteins involved in metabolic functions, it helps to protect against oxidative stress, which is linked to cravings for substances like opoids, alcohol, and tobacco.

Yes, in addition to repairing addiction-damaged neurotransmitters and replenishing depleted stores of NAD+ caused from addiction, this therapy has many anti-aging benefits. It can boost energy levels thus combating fatigue, improve mood and outlook, increase mental acuity, and generally promote overall physical healing and mental wellbeing. In addition, one of the primary benefits of this type of therapy is its method of delivery. It is infused directly into the bloodstream offering 100% bioavailability immediately.
