I Want to Try NAD+ IV Therapy | What You Need to Know
We have all had a moment when we wished that we could turn back the clock to a younger age. A time when we had more energy, vitality, and sharper cognitive abilities. But what if this was actually possible? NAD+ injection therapy fuels and optimizes body cell functions leading to improved metabolism, DNA repair, stress resistance, and many other benefits.
What is NAD+?
NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a crucial co-enzyme of Vitamin B3 found abundantly in our body cells. It plays an essential role in energy metabolism while supporting the proper functioning of cell mitochondria. NAD+ also supports numerous metabolic processes in the body, including cell repair, anti-aging, digestion, and cognitive function. NAD exists in two forms, the active form known as NAD+ and NADH, the inactive form. This co-enzyme is known as a helper molecule for its ability to bind to and activate other enzymes.
What is the science behind NAD+ therapy?
Our bodies contain proteins that regulate various biological pathways, called Sirtuins. NAD+ supports these sirtuins to do their job in the body effectively. Sirtuins can influence gene expression by turning some genes on and off, thereby protecting cells from age-related decline. Sirtuins like SIRT1 and SIRT3 promote the formation of new mitochondria, thereby extending their lifespan. They also help in the maintenance of telomeres or the ends of DNA, which boosts longevity. NAD+ also helps cushion body cells from stress brought by toxins, trauma, inflammation, and chronic use of medication.
What are the benefits of NAD+ IV therapy?
NAD+ has numerous health benefits that include:
It boosts energy production- NAD+ therapy supports the production of ATP, the energy required by cells to carry out different functions around the body. NAD+ ensures that our energy levels stay high by supporting ATP production, which combats fatigue and lethargy.
It reverses aging symptoms- With age, our bodies produce less and less NAD+ which accelerates aging. NAD+ therapy can reverse aging symptoms by supporting the function of Sirtuins that protect DNA from damage while promoting the formation of new mitochondria. NAD+ also slows down the breakdown of blood vessels, thus preventing vascular degeneration.
It alleviates pain– NAD+ supports the action of Sirtuins which have potent anti-inflammatory benefits. Their anti-inflammatory action helps alleviate pain.
It promotes skin health- NAD+ is a co-enzyme of Vitamin B3. Research shows that Vitamin B3 deficiency leads to DNA damage resulting in skin blemishes, lines, and wrinkles. NAD+ injections can reverse these symptoms and rejuvenate the skin.
It improves cognitive function– We have seen that NAD+ provides energy to body cells, helping them function optimally. This is also true for brain cells. In particular, NAD+ therapy, through Sirtuins, helps brain cells to resist stress and inflammation. This not only lowers cognitive decline but also boosts clarity, memory, and concentration.
What can NAD+ IV therapy treat?
Due to its health benefits, NAD+ therapy is being used to treat various conditions that include:
Addiction– NAD+ injection therapy has been touted as an effective treatment in alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation. Substance abuse takes a toll on the body and leads to NAD+ depletion, reduced energy levels, and fatigue. NAD+ Injection therapy repairs damaged cells boosts blood flow, and repairs brain cells damaged by substance abuse. It also curbs drug cravings and reduces the impact of withdrawal, boosting physical and mental recovery.
Neurodegenerative diseases – NAD+ therapy can slow down the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. These conditions result in memory loss, lack of coordination, and lack of awareness. NAD+ therapy helps to repair the DNA in damaged brain cells, reduce toxin build-up and reduce inflammation. It also provides brain cells with the needed energy to replicate and repair themselves.
Chronic fatigue/ Fibromyalgia– NAD+ therapy can alleviate chronic fatigue by aiding in energy (ATP) production. It also boosts the functioning of mitochondria in cells which helps reduce fatigue. NAD+ also corrects any cognitive dysfunctions associated with these chronic conditions.
What should I expect during NAD+ IV Therapy?
NAD+ injection therapy starts with a consultation. Here, the doctor evaluates your condition and health history before recommending a treatment plan based on your goals. When you are ready to begin treatment, a drip will be inserted in your arm at a comfortable location. You can proceed to read, work, sleep or watch a movie as the treatment continues. A typical session can last anywhere between 3-4 hours.
As the drip starts to flow into your bloodstream, you may experience some tightening in your chest, mild nausea, or a headache. These symptoms should subside quickly, but if not, notify your doctor so that the infusion rate can be adjusted to a comfortable level.
If you are like most people, you will experience an energy surge and increased mental clarity almost immediately. These results can last up to 14 days, depending on your health condition.
Am I a good candidate for NAD+ injection therapy?
As we have seen, NAD+ IV therapy has numerous health benefits, and frankly, all of us could do with a few doses of it! This treatment is beneficial for people who are constantly feeling sluggish or fatigued. If your job keeps you busy running from one place to another and living out of your briefcase, NAD+ therapy can significantly boost your energy reserves.
NAD+ therapy can also benefit older people who are battling age-related conditions or symptoms of aging. Athletes looking to enhance their performance, build endurance and accelerate recovery will also find it beneficial.
