NAD+ IV Therapy
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found naturally in human cells involved in over 500 biochemical pathways in the body.
It is particularly important for energy production, cellular repair, longevity, as well as neurological and metabolic function.
Therefore, NAD+ therapy can help to slow down the aging process, boost metabolism, enhance brain function, and protect cells against oxidative damage!
In our bodies, NAD+ exists in two forms, NAD+ and NADH, both crucial for the functioning of cells. Primarily, they help the body’s mitochondria to convert nutrients into energy.
Studies have shown that NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which accelerates aging. You can raise these levels by taking NAD+ boosters.
At LIVV, we administer NAD+ in various forms including intramuscular shots, IV therapy, transdermal administration, and oral/sublingual tablets.
NAD+ IV is the most effective form, as it allows for NAD+ to enter directly into the bloodstream.
NAD+ therapy is dose dependent, meaning that at specific dosages of NAD+ administered, certain neurological receptors are stimulated causing different effects.
For example, if using NAD+ for opiate addiction and withdrawal, NAD+ binds to the same receptor as opiates do but does not have the same physiological effects (in contrast to medications like suboxone).
