NAD+ IV Therapy
What is NAD+ and what does it do?
NAD+ or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide:
- Facilitates the repair of broken DNA strands
- Lengthens healthspan (the part of a person’s life during which they are generally in good health)
- Mimics exercise in blood flow, and increases endurance
- Reduces tissue degrading
- Slows the effects of cellular aging
- Increases energy
- Improves kidney function and blood flow
- Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
- Improves immune system function
- Restores blood flow to the brain, improving memory and helping to prevent Alzheimer’s and dementia
By the time we’re 50, our NAD+ levels are about half of what they were when we were 20. NAD+ deficits are associated with many of the hallmarks of aging and may predispose us to age-related diseases and poor immune function. Tissues such as the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle, which have high metabolic demands (and subsequently high NAD+ use), are hit hardest, increasing our susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, and other disease associated with aging.
NAD+ cannot be orally supplemented, so supplementing with NAD+ infusions may be a viable strategy to forestall the effects of aging.
