NAD+ Treatment

What is NAD+ Treatment?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) treatment is a cutting-edge therapy that has been gaining traction in the medical community for its wide range of potential health benefits. NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body and plays a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and overall cellular health. As we age, levels of NAD+ naturally decline, which can contribute to various age-related conditions and a general decline in health. NAD+ treatment aims to replenish these levels through intravenous (IV) infusions or oral supplements, thereby potentially improving numerous physiological functions.

What Are the Benefits of NAD+ Treatment?

NAD+ treatment offers a myriad of benefits that can significantly enhance your quality of life. Here are some of the key advantages

Increased Energy Levels

NAD+ is essential for converting food into energy. Higher levels of NAD+ can lead to improved mitochondrial function, resulting in increased energy levels and reduced fatigue.

Enhanced Cognitive Function

NAD+ plays a critical role in brain health. It supports neuronal function and protects against neurodegenerative diseases, potentially improving memory, focus, and overall cognitive function.

Anti-Aging Effects

By promoting cellular repair and reducing oxidative stress, NAD+ can help slow down the aging process, leading to healthier skin and potentially increasing lifespan.

Improved Metabolism

NAD+ helps regulate metabolic processes, which can aid in weight management and improve overall metabolic health.

Better Mental Health

NAD+ has been shown to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety by balancing neurotransmitter levels and improving brain function.

Enhanced Athletic Performance

Athletes can benefit from NAD+ treatment as it aids in muscle recovery, reduces inflammation, and improves endurance.

Who is NAD+ Treatment For?

NAD+ treatment can be beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including

Aging Adults

What Should I Try At Home Before Seeing a Provider for NAD+ Treatment?

Before opting for NAD+ treatment, there are several lifestyle changes and home remedies you can try to naturally boost your NAD+ levels

Dietary Changes

  • Increase Niacin Intake: Foods rich in niacin (Vitamin B3) like chicken, turkey, and peanuts can help boost NAD+ levels.
  • Eat More Fish: Fish like salmon and tuna are rich in NAD+ precursors.
  • Consume Dairy Products: Milk and cheese can also contribute to higher NAD+ levels.

Exercise Regularly

Physical activity has been shown to naturally increase NAD+ levels in the body. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting can help boost NAD+ levels by promoting cellular repair processes.

Reduce Alcohol Consumption

Excessive alcohol can deplete NAD+ levels, so it’s advisable to limit your intake.

Take Supplements

Consider taking over-the-counter supplements like nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which are precursors to NAD+.
