What Is NAD?

NAD means nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in all living cells and has even been called an anti-aging molecule due to its many important roles in promoting health and prolonging lifespan.

This powerful molecule has a great deal of potential for new therapeutic opportunities. Studies have shown that it can help battle many aging and chronic conditions on the human body and brain.

What Is NAD+, What It Does & How It Benefits the Body?

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide has two forms-- one active and one inactive. It is known as NAD+ in its active form, and in its inactive form, it is known as NADH.

Scientists first identified NAD+ and started studying its benefits in the early 1900s, however just over the last few years we are beginning to realize its full potential.

Because of the role it plays in many various biological processes, scientists and doctors are now considering different ways it can be used to maintain healthy organs and neurological systems in human patients.

NAD+ is called a "helper molecule" because it binds to other enzymes in the body to activate them and generate molecular reactions. For instance, proteins called "sirtuins," which are responsible for carrying out many biological processes within the human body, require the coenzyme to function properly.

What Is NAD+ IV Therapy?

IV therapy and IV nutrition can refer to various options during which your body obtains intravenous infusions of different vitamins and supplements. These infusions can promote certain aspects of your health or enhance your overall feeling of wellness.

Infusing your body with NAD+ with an IV drip is the only way to ensure that you obtain 100% bioavailability from the molecule. This means that your body will absorb the highest possible supplemental coenzymes and convert them into molecular energy.

Oral supplements of NAD do exist, but it is hard for your body to absorb NAD+ this way and therefore difficult to guarantee results. Currently, IV therapy is the safest and most efficient way of supplementing the coenzyme in your body.

NAD+ IV Therapy Advantages:

• Slows cognitIVe decline
• Promotes healthy brain function
• Fights chronic fatigue
• Raises energy
• Boosts metabolism
• Regenerates cells
• Slows aging
• Reduces internal inflammation

Benefits of NAD+ Infusion Therapy for Your Mind

Patients commonly describe feeling like a mental fog has been lifted after undergoing NAD+ therapy. This overall improvement in mental sharpness helps guests feel better day to day and contributes to their overall feelings of wellness. Additionally, among the most noticeable negative effects of getting older is a decline in cognitive function. Forgetting things, lack of focus, and general mental fogginess are a few of the more particular results.

A simple NAD+ IV infusion can help activate your brain's neuron function by helping cells regenerate and defend them against damage. This leads to enhanced mental cognition, including better mental clarity, higher concentration, and enhanced memory function.

This overall boost in brain function can also help patients overcome other types of mental struggles. IV therapy can help you fight against common conditions like depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

How NAD+ Infusion Therapy Enhances Your Energy Levels and Metabolism

Whether you're battling chronic fatigue due to illness or just feeling the effects of aging, NAD+ can help you feel more energized and put a spring back in your step again. A coenzyme infusion administered intravenously helps provide energy to your body's cells on a molecular level.

Besides improving your overall energy, NAD+ also supports a healthy metabolism. A smoothly-functioning metabolism is a vital part of dealing with weight management and blood sugar issues.

Other Physical Advantages of NAD IV Infusions

Because it is one of your body's natural coenzymes that promotes cell regeneration, supplementing NAD+ levels via an IV drip can reduce inflammation and help your body recuperate faster from an injury. The coenzyme also helps in the activation of poly ADP-ribose polymerases (PARPS) to repair damaged DNA inside your body.

Who Is a Good Candidate for NAD+ IV Therapy?

Anyone that struggles with reduced energy levels, feels sluggish and fatigued or feels like their mind is constantly foggy can be a good candidate for this type of IV treatment. Replenishing your body's NAD+ levels can dramatically decrease these kinds of feelings and provide additional benefits.

Individuals that are experiencing the side effects of aging or that struggle with certain age-related illnesses or chronic conditions are also great candidates. However, these infusions can also be useful for healthy individuals.

For example, it's commonly encouraged for athletes who wish to improve their performance and endurance and speed up their recovery times after vigorous exercise or an injury.

NAD+ IV Infusion Therapy may be good for people with:

• Alzheimer's disease
• Parkinson's disease
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Mitochondrial dysfunction
• Multiple sclerosis
• Fibromyalgia
• Anxiety/depression
• Chronic fatigue
• Memory/concentration issues

You don't have to wait until you start experiencing age-related issues or illnesses to use NAD+ therapy to your advantage. IV supplementation can help delay the aging process and reduce the risk of certain medical conditions in healthy individuals.

Additionally, IV nutrition can be helpful for athletes that would like to give their bodies an additional NAD+ boost. This supplementation can improve your endurance, performance, and recovery.

Lastly, there is some evidence to show that NAD+ can be beneficial for individuals battling substance addictions. For example, it can help repair brain cells that have been damaged by substance abuse and restore opiate receptors to reduce cravings and the side effects of withdrawals.
