In the rapidly evolving world of longevity science, NAD+ Therapy is well-known as a power player for extending healthspans, naturally boosting energy, and promoting cellular regeneration. But what exactly is NAD+, and why is it generating so much buzz? As an essential coenzyme found in every cell of the body, NAD+ plays a vital role in cellular function, DNA repair, and metabolism. When we're young, NAD+ levels are abundant. However, as we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, leading to decreased energy, cognitive function, and overall vitality.
David Sinclair, Co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School, said this about the power of NAD+: "NAD+ is the closest we've gotten to a fountain of youth.”
Let's explore why.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, and is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body, playing a key role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular function. It is essential for mitochondrial health, helping convert nutrients into usable energy and supporting critical biological processes like metabolism, cognitive function, and muscle recovery.
What Is NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ Therapy intravenously administers a dose of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream to avoid the digestive system and be absorbed faster and comprehensively. NAD+ is a versatile and vital coenzyme, with almost no limit to what it can accomplish for your body.
What Are The Benefits Of NAD+?
Think about how much energy kids have. They bounce out of bed right away and spend the entire day on the go. That’s because their mitochondria work at their fullest potential and don’t have to worry about any cellular decay. As we get older, our cells naturally decay to some extent in our mitochondria have to work harder to produce enough energy for daily activity.
Many people believe that they will never feel that way again. However, NAD+ therapy may be able to help you start getting that energy back.
Mitochondria are responsible for generating about 90% of your energy. When they are lacking, you will start to feel it right away. This is where NAD+ therapy comes in.
IV therapy is designed to help you feel younger and have more energy. NAD+ can help revitalize your cells’ mitochondria, which may result in many positive changes throughout your body.
Let’s break down some of the benefits you might experience as a result of this therapy.
Improving Brain Function
NAD+ keeps your brain functioning in its best condition. It may also boost your memory and help with mental clarity. This is because your cells can function better when they have working mitochondria, and this even extends to your brain.
Lower levels of NAD+ might be negatively affecting your brain. Without it, you may often experience brain fog, headaches, and have trouble with your memory.
Anti-Aging Properties
NAD+ infusions might also be able to reserve some of the effects of aging. This is because it helps to repair failing cells, which can cause chronic fatigue and other age-related issues. If you are feeling especially sluggish lately, then a dose may be able to help you.
There is no way to completely avoid aging, but we may be able to slow down the speed at which we age. Many of our regular customers choose this therapy to make aging easier on their bodies.
Boosting Energy
Why Do I Feel So Tired All The Time?
Consider NAD+ Therapy. Here's Why:
This treatment will also provide your cells with the nutrients they need to keep your energy levels up. This can boost your mood, brain function, and help you feel more alert during your day to day life.
Everyone experiences fatigue, like when you stay up too late or get a great workout in at the gym. However, there are cases where fatigue persists, no matter how much sleep you got the night before. That is when you know your NAD+ levels are lowering.
This might also manifest itself as a feeling of lethargy or a lack of motivation, even to do the things that you enjoy. When you feel like you are no longer operating at the energy level you used to, NAD+ levels might be the issue.
All this just means that your body might need help in generating energy. In those cases, NAD+ treatments can be extremely beneficial in getting you to feel like yourself again.
Metabolism Boost
You may also experience a metabolism boost from the treatment. This is because NAD+ supports the cells that help you with digestion and muscle building. The NAD+ IV treatment also includes additional nutrients that can aid in digestion and making energy, which improves your metabolism.
Why Is NAD+ IV Therapy Effective?
NAD+ IV therapy allows you to get the coenzyme directly into your bloodstream. This means that your cells can absorb all of it. Nothing is removed by digestion.
NAD+ also helps your body produce or process several vitamins and other nutrients that are essential to your body's functions. These include the vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and glutathione (an antioxidant). All of these nutrients have many benefits on their own.
After getting the treatment, many people start to experience clearer thoughts or higher energy levels. Many people have often found that more frequent treatments increase their effects. Since you are absorbing the nutrients right into your bloodstream, you may even start to feel the effects before you leave the clinic.
What Can I Add NAD+ To?
You can add an NAD+ boost to any of our IV treatments or you can get a treatment of the coenzyme on its own. If you already had plans to get a specific IV treatment, you can further the benefits by adding a dose of NAD+ to it.
This is one of the best ways to boost your body’s holistic wellness. You can easily come in for a targeted IV treatment and add a little bit of NAD+ to the mix to bolster your cells’ mitochondria, boost your energy levels and potentially see even wider ranging healthy effects than ever before. Plus, an NAD+ shot is affordable and easy to add to any of our existing therapies.
However, it is important to note that an IV drip full of NAD+ takes a lot longer to administer than a vitamin drip. Vitamin IVs take about 30 minutes to complete, while a NAD+ IV can take between 3 and 4 hours. That’s because we have to give your body enough time to thoroughly absorb all of the NAD+ coenzyme before removing the intravenous drip.
Adding NAD+ to a vitamin drip can still provide you with numerous benefits if you are short on time, possibly giving you the anti-aging benefits that you may want. You can alternatively try our NAD+ shot, which gives a targeted blast of NAD+ without any of the time requirements.
Conclusion
NAD+ therapy is used to provide your body with the nutrients that your cells’ mitochondria need to operate. As you age, these nutrients and coenzymes are found in smaller amounts in your body as everything starts to slow down, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for less daily energy.
By taking the NAD+ treatments, you may be able to help to bring yourself back up to the energy levels you used to have. This may also improve your memory, mental clarity, and metabolism. Those are all great reasons to try NAD+, so you may want to consider adding it to your next IV Drip.
