How does NAD+ work, and what does it treat?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, essential for energy production and cellular repair. Levels of NAD+ decline with age, stress, and chronic illness, leading to fatigue, cognitive decline, and slower recovery. Restoring NAD+ through supplementation or IV therapy supports mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and overall cellular health.

Benefits of NAD+

• Energy Boost: Enhances mitochondrial function, leading to improved stamina and reduced fatigue.
• Anti-Aging Support: Promotes DNA repair and cellular regeneration.
• Brain Health: Improves mental clarity, focus, and may reduce cognitive decline.
• Metabolic Support: Assists in weight management and blood sugar regulation.
• Detoxification: Supports recovery from substance dependence and oxidative stress.

Evidence-Based and Research Uses

• Investigated for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
• Studied for its role in longevity and healthy aging.
• Used experimentally for addiction recovery and withdrawal support.
• Popular in wellness medicine for improving vitality and recovery.

Note: NAD+ therapies are not yet FDA-approved for anti-aging or general wellness; evidence comes from early clinical studies and ongoing research.

What types of NAD+ treatments are available?

• IV Infusion Therapy: Delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for high bioavailability.
• Oral Supplements (NAD+ precursors like NMN or NR): Support gradual replenishment of NAD+ levels.
• Injection Formulations: Sometimes used in clinical and wellness practices.

NAD+ Side Effects and Risks

Generally well-tolerated, but possible effects may include:

• Temporary flushing or warmth during IV infusion
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Mild headache or muscle cramps
• Rarely, rapid infusion may cause chest tightness or lightheadedness

NAD+ FAQ’s

Who shouldn’t take NAD+ therapy?

• Individuals with severe heart disease should use NAD+ under strict medical supervision
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women (safety not well studied)
• Anyone with known hypersensitivity to NAD+ formulations

How long do the effects of NAD+ last?

Most people feel benefits (energy, focus, improved recovery) for days to weeks after treatment. Regular sessions or oral supplementation may be needed to maintain higher NAD+ levels.
