Is NAD+ IV Therapy Right for Me?

December 10, 2024 IV Therapy

NAD+ IV, essential for over 500 enzymatic reactions and found in every living cell, has been dubbed the “molecule of youth.” Although naturally produced by the body, its levels tend to decrease with age and lead to visible signs of aging and age-related health problems.

One way to keep the levels of this essential molecule up for the sake of beauty, health and longevity is through NAD+ IV therapy. Considered one of the best and most innovative ways to solve the problem of aging, NAD+ IV Therapy stands above the rest. But is this anti-aging and revitalizing treatment right for YOU? Find out below.

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ is the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme of vitamin B3 found in every cell of the human body and all other living cells. It is a helper molecule involved in energy production and vital for hundreds of enzymatic reactions. Just a few examples of the many roles NAD+ plays in the body are:

  • Creating cellular energy
  • Maintaining mitochondrial health
  • Maintaining DNA integrity
  • Circadian clock regulation
  • Metabolic functioning through sirtuins activation

Your body naturally produces this molecule from precursors like vitamin B3 but also tryptophan and other dietary compounds. Unfortunately, its concentrations in all tissues decrease with age, leading to problems like fatigue, cognitive decline, skin changes, sleep disturbances, and slow metabolism, to name a few.

This change can be dramatic, to make matters worse, with studies reporting a 50% decline in NAD+ production over the course of aging. Why this happens is not well understood, however, but inflammation and DNA damage compromising its levels is one explanation. Luckily, there are ways to naturally increase NAD+ levels.

Increasing NAD+ Levels

As explained,  our bodies are perfectly capable of producing enough NAD+ and maintaining its optimal levels through our youth. Aging compromises this ability, often leading to worsening health, loss of vitality and skin changes. Researchers believe all this can be avoided by increasing NAD+ levels.

There are different ways to boost your body’s NAD+ levels. One is through supplementation with its precursors, like nicotinamide riboside or nicotinamide mononucleotide. Or an even more natural approach is to increase your intake of NAD+-boosting foods, such as milk, fish, mushrooms and nuts. But these approaches may be limited in their efficiency since nutrient absorption also decreases with age.

NAD+ IV Therapy is a surefire way to bring NAD+ directly into the cells. This simple treatment involves directly administering NAD+ into the bloodstream via IV transfusion, from where it can easily reach your cells.

 

Key Benefits of NAD+ IV Therapy

NAD+ IV Therapy is one of the most innovative and effective ways to boost your NAD+ levels. Because this molecule is essential for hundreds of physiological processes, you will experience countless benefits from this treatment. However, there are several key benefits we want to emphasize here:

Slows Down Aging

NAD+ is a powerful anti-aging compound. Increasing its levels through IV therapy can help slow down the aging process and mitigate age-related health conditions. It can also naturally postpone visible signs of aging. NAD+ namely activates sirtuins, which are signaling proteins that play an important role in cell survival, metabolism and aging.

Repairs DNA Damage

Increasing NAD+ levels is known to stabilize telomeres, which are protective caps found on the end of chromosomes. This helps keep your DNA healthy. Studies show this also has a positive impact on immune cell function as telomeres are key drivers of innate immunity.

Boosts Energy Levels

The fatigue we experience with age is at least partially due to declining NAD+, and that is because this molecule plays a critical role in energy metabolism. By delivering much-needed NAD+ directly to your cells, you will notice you have less fatigue and more motivation.

Increases Mental Sharpness

Mental acuity is dependent on energy production within brain cells. Increasing NAD+ levels can boost energy levels within the brain, helping with cognitive health. However, its brain-boosting properties are also due to its ability to reduce inflammation, ameliorate mitochondrial damage and, according to one study, reduce age-related blood-brain barrier damage.

Improves Metabolic Health

Your metabolism slows down as you get older. This not only makes it more difficult to maintain a healthy weight but also puts you at risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even cancer. Because NAD+ also influences the activity of metabolic enzymes, this treatment can help your metabolism function at optimal levels.

Why Our Patients Love NAD+ IV Therapy

There are countless anti-aging solutions for you to choose from, but NAD+ Therapy stands among the rest for the following reasons:

  • Tackles aging from the inside out
  • More effective than supplements
  • Supports overall health and longevity
  • Is relatively quick and requires no downtime
  • Treatment can be individualized
  • Proven safety and efficiency

Signs That NAD+ IV Therapy Is Right for You

Nearly anyone can benefit from NAD+ IV Therapy, no matter their age, health history and background. That is because everyone needs NAD+ to stay healthy and function well, and because it’s proven that its levels dip by 50% by the time we are 40. However, you may especially want to consider this treatment if you see yourself in the following descriptions:

  • You are 40 years and older, which is the age when NAD+ levels decrease to levels where you may notice.
  • You are chronically tired and have trouble sleeping and focusing without knowing why.
  • You have noticed a dip in your physical performance, work performance and motivation.
  • You want to treat the root causes of aging instead of relying solely on cosmetic enhancements.
  • You appreciate natural and regenerative medicine solutions.
  • You are willing to spend one to four hours weekly, bi-weekly or monthly (the timing depends on your individual needs) receiving this treatment.
