In the world of wellness and longevity, few molecules have generated as much attention—and research-backed promise—as NAD+. Short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, this vital coenzyme plays a central role in everything from energy production and DNA repair to mood regulation and fertility. But as we age, our levels of NAD+ decline significantly, impacting nearly every system in the body. Fortunately, there are ways to replenish and optimize NAD+ to support long-term health and vitality.
Here’s a breakdown of what NAD+ is, why it matters, and how you can harness it for better aging, energy, and wellness.
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It acts as a catalyst in cellular processes—specifically, in energy production (via the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain), DNA repair, and cell communication. It’s crucial for redox reactions, helping enzymes shuttle electrons to keep your metabolism and cellular function running smoothly.
As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline:
This decline is even more severe in people with chronic conditions such as autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, cognitive decline, or persistent fatigue.
Think of NAD+ as the fuel your cells need to produce ATP—the energy currency of the body. In your mitochondria (the “powerhouses” of cells), NAD+ plays a central role in converting food into usable energy. During the Krebs cycle, a series of chemical reactions in your cells that convert food into usable energy, NAD+ is converted into NADH, which donates electrons to the electron transport chain, resulting in a cascade that produces ATP. The more efficiently this happens, the more energized and functional your body feels.
Without sufficient NAD+, this process slows, contributing to fatigue, brain fog, and poor cellular function.
If your NAD+ levels are low, you may experience:
NAD+ also plays a surprising role in reproductive health. It helps protect egg and sperm DNA, supports hormone production (estrogen and testosterone), and slows the aging of reproductive cells—making it a key player in fertility and healthy conception.
The most effective way to replenish NAD+? IV infusions.
A structured "loading phase" can dramatically boost cellular NAD+ levels:
This approach helps restore mitochondrial fusion (a repair process), counteracts fatigue, enhances cognitive function, supports mood, and kickstarts overall cellular rejuvenation.
Maintenance: After the loading phase, monthly or quarterly infusions (300–750 mg) or subcutaneous injections can help maintain elevated NAD+ levels.
NAD+ also influences mood by supporting serotonin production. This makes it a valuable tool for individuals managing depression, anxiety, addiction recovery, or mood disorders. Those on SSRIs should speak with a provider before starting NAD+ therapy, as NAD+ can modestly increase serotonin levels.
In addition to IV therapy, other ways to naturally support NAD+ levels include:
To prevent unnecessary depletion of NAD+, reduce or eliminate:
Most people can benefit from NAD+ therapy—especially those seeking improved energy, better mood, enhanced cognition, or proactive aging strategies. While IV therapy remains the gold standard, injections and supplements offer solid maintenance options.
As new technology emerges, testing intracellular NAD+ levels will become more accessible, allowing for even more personalized protocols.
In the meantime, the message is clear: if you want to feel better, think sharper, sleep deeper, and age more gracefully, supporting your NAD+ levels is one of the most impactful things you can do.
