NAD Benefits and Uses

Research into the effects of NAD on the body is ongoing, but many studies have shown promising results of the benefits of NAD supplementation and restoration across a wide range of conditions.

​

NAD can help individuals who are:

• Recovering from addiction and substance abuse: NAD helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

• Interested in extending their lifespan: NAD is essential for DNA repair and plays a role in delaying the aging process.

• Interested in restoring neurological function: NAD can help restore brain function and reduce the risk of neurological disorders.

• Experiencing cognitive decline: NAD can improve cognitive function and help with memory loss.

• Restore muscle function and improve athletic performance: NAD can improve muscle function and increase endurance, leading to better athletic performance

• Seeking to boost a weight-loss regimen: NAD can help increase metabolism and reduce inflammation, which can aid in weight loss.

• Seeking to reduce their fatigue and improve overall energy levels: NAD can improve mitochondrial function and increase energy production.

• Slow the aging process: NAD is involved in DNA repair and plays a role in delaying the aging process.

• ​

You don’t have to wait until you are experiencing a medical condition to experience the benefits of NAD IV therapy. This versatile treatment helps promote whole-body wellness and can help your body maintain optimal performance over time.

​

NAD IV treatments supplement and restore the levels of this powerful coenzyme in your body. A specialized saline solution containing a concentrated dose of NAD is delivered directly into the bloodstream, making it available to your cells for immediate use. Because NAD bypasses the digestive and metabolic systems.

How does NAD work?

Studies have shown promising results that a coenzyme known as NAD can:

• Slow down the aging process,

• Improve mental clarity,

• Restore neurologic function,

• Improve the body’s overall health.

NAD, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found in every cell within the body and is involved in many processes.

​

One of its most significant roles within the body is in oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions. These reactions are a part of the metabolic system and converts food into the energy the body needs to function properly.

The other important role that NAD plays is to regulate circadian and metabolic rhythm[1]. This coenzyme maintains DNA integrity and health and also functions as a quality control mechanism for new proteins.

​

Among other functions, NAD plays a significant role in anti-aging. NAD works on mitochondriaand increases the length of telomeres, which are the protective caps located at the ends of chromosomes that become shorter as the body ages. NAD increases the activity of SIRT1 and PARP 1 proteins, which are linked with a slower rate of aging and influencing DNA repair respectively[2].

​

The body naturally produces NAD, but overall levels of the coenzyme decrease over time, leading to cellular changes that result in age-related pathologies.

​

Lower levels of NAD and bonds between certain types of molecules are linked to damage to DNA which, left unrepaired, accumulate over time into cell changes and mutations[3]. Restoring and supplementing NAD counteracts many of these reactions and help preserve the integrity of DNA over time.
