NAD+ Therapy

NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide and is a “helper” molecule or coenzyme that is present in every cell in the body. This coenzyme is critical to the chemical mechanisms and biological processes that our bodies use to produce energy.

Important in cell DNA repair, NADH and NAD+ occur naturally in your body. They play a major role in the chemical process of generating energy and NAD+ is probably the most important co-factor for improving mitochondrial function.

Why is NAD+ Critical?

Adenosine diphosphate (ATP) is an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells and is found in ALL known forms of life. Cells in the ADP electron transport chain and mitochondria produce energy by converting ADP to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy production process needs electrons to perform and mitochondria source these electrons from NAD+. Without NAD+, we would die in a very short period of time.

Because NAD+ plays this critical role in energy production, it has numerous health benefits. NAD+ improves physical performance as well as cognitive function. By increasing the levels in the body, it helps improve our physical and mental health.

What does NAD+ do?

First, it turns nutrients into Adeno triphosphate (ATP – the energy currency of each cell). Second, it works with proteins to carry out vital biological processes such as:

  • DNA repair
  • Participation in mitochondrial function
  • Regulates energy metabolism
  • Gene expression
  • Epigenetic modifications via chromatin-modifying enzymes
  • Post-translational modifications
  • Calcium signaling
  • Maintaining chromosomal integrity

Anti-aging Properties

NAD+ activates certain enzymes that may promote healthy aging:

  • Offers Protection to the Brain
  • Good for the Liver
  • Helps You Sleep and Eat at the Right Time
  • Keeps the Ears Healthy
  • Increases Metabolism
  • Improves Muscle Function
  • Benefits to the Central Nervous System

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NAD therapy?

NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production. NAD therapy delivers it by IV infusion and is designed to support energy, focus, and healthy aging. Individual results vary.

How long does an infusion take?

Plan for a relaxed in-office visit; infusion times vary by dose and how your body responds. Our team will give you a time estimate at booking.

How often do people get NAD therapy?

It depends on your goals and your provider’s recommendation. Some patients do an initial series followed by maintenance infusions.

Is NAD therapy right for me?

A consultation determines that. It is generally well tolerated, and our providers review your health history first.
