NAD+
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a critical coenzyme found in every cell of the body and is involved in hundreds of metabolic processes such as cellular energy and mitochondrial health. NAD+ is an essential coenzyme in regulating metabolism, longevity, DNA repair, and the immune system. NAD+ levels naturally tend to decline with age.
Why is NAD+ important?
- Essential in metabolic function
- Supports brain function
- Promotes healthy aging
Signs of Declining NAD+
Insufficient levels of NAD+ can manifest in a variety of symptoms, including:
- Low energy and fatigue
- Mental fog
- Lapses in memory
- Dry, dull skin
- Poor sleep quality
- Inflammation
- Mood swings
- Anxiety and depression
- Weight gain
- Insulin resistance
- Metabolic disorders
- Cardiovascular problems
NAD+ Injections
Administering a high dose of NAD+ through an injection, compared to other methods, quickly optimizes the body’s NAD+ levels and creates a favourable outcome.
Benefits of NAD+ Injections
Because the NAD+ coenzyme is utilized in a myriad of processes within the body, there are many benefits associated with NAD injections. NAD+ Injection Therapy has been found to:
1.Improve Cognitive Brain Function
NAD+ can improve cell’s resistance to stress and slow cognitive decline, helping to:
- Improve mental clarity
- Boost memory
- Improve mood
- Facilitate brain regeneration
- Improve concentration
- Increase one’s ability to focus
- Boost neurological function
- Reduce symptoms of depression
2.Reduce Inflammation
NAD+ reduces inflammation by activating sirtuins (a family of proteins that regulate cellular health and longevity), supporting mitochondrial function, modulating immune response to reduce autoimmune triggers, and enhancing DNA repair and cellular resilience.
3.Aid in Addiction Recovery
NAD+ is not a cure for addiction. It can, however, be used during recovery to reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms (like fatigue, anxiety, and brain fog).
4. Boosts Metabolism Support Weight Loss
Weight gain with age is common as your metabolism slows down. NAD+ injections can help restore higher metabolism levels, assisting with both weight loss and energy levels.
5. Combats Fatigue and Increases Energy
The more efficient your metabolism is running, the more energy you will have. NAD+ injections support higher metabolism and increased energy levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any side effects?
NAD+ injections are generally very well-tolerated. Rare side effects may include mild irritation or swelling at the injection site which dissipates quickly. In some cases, mild nausea, cramping or muscle fatigue may occur from the quick increase in NAD+. These symptoms can be resolved by staggering injections.
How often will I need an injection?
Some patients require weekly injections initially, followed by maintenance doses every few months. The frequency with which you receive injections will be based on your individuals needs and determined by you ORM provider.
Why are NAD+ injections more effective than oral supplements?
The digestion process reduces the amount of NAD+ your body can absorb. NAD+ injections enable the NAD+ molecule to bypass the intestinal tract so that your body to fully absorb and utilize it immediately.
What conditions can NAD+ help treat?
On top of promoting healthier aging, NAD+ can help alleviate the symptoms of a number of mental health issues – such as anxiety, mood disorders, substance abuse disorders, post-and traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
