What is NAD+?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of our body. It plays a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular metabolism. NAD+ facilitates critical biochemical reactions, helping to convert the food we consume into usable energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). As we age, levels of NAD+ naturally decline, which can lead to decreased energy, increased fatigue, and various age-related health issues.
The Physiology of NAD+ in Our Body
NAD+ is essential for several physiological functions:
As NAD+ levels diminish due to aging, poor diet, lack of exercise, and environmental stressors, our overall vitality and health may suffer.
Advantages of Intravenous NAD+ Supplementation
IV NAD+ supplementation offers a direct and effective way to boost your body’s levels of this essential coenzyme. Some of the advantages include:
Research and Studies
Recent studies highlight the potential benefits of NAD+ supplementation. For example, a study published in *Cell Metabolism* (Mills et al., 2016) indicates that increasing NAD+ levels can enhance mitochondrial function and improve energy production in older adults. Another research piece in *Nature Reviews Neuroscience* discusses how NAD+ can protect against neurodegenerative diseases by promoting DNA repair and cellular health (Khabar et al., 2018).
Recommended Scheduling and Frequency of Administration
The scheduling and frequency of IV NAD+ therapy can vary depending on individual health goals and needs. Typically, healthcare providers recommend the following:
Each treatment session usually lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour, during which you can relax while receiving the infusion.
Conclusion
Intravenous NAD+ therapy is an innovative and effective approach to enhancing your energy levels, cognitive function, and overall well-being. By replenishing this critical coenzyme, you can support your body’s metabolic processes and promote cellular repair, ultimately contributing to a healthier, more vibrant life. If you’re interested in exploring the benefits of IV NAD+ supplementation, consult with our qualified healthcare provider to determine a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your health goals.
