NAD Therapy

 

BUT FIRST… WHAT IS IT?

NICotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. This very-important coenzyme is responsible for keeping your metabolism, DNA, and overall health intact.

But unfortunately, NAD production is age-dependent and the older you get, the less NAD is available to keep you functioning optimally.

It should be no wonder, then, that NAD IV therapy offers so many incredible benefits. 

our nurses inject this powerful coenzyme straight into your bloodstream where it bypasses metabolism in the gut and the liver, so that you get the full power of nad.

Wondering if NAD IV therapy is right for you? Then check out the top 10 benefits you can harness from this treatment BELOW.

THE TOP TEN BENEFITS OF NAD…

1. Improve General Wellbeing

When the body breaks down vitamin B, it produces NAD. NAD then influences a number of processes that impact you, including:

  • Turning food into energy

  • Protecting DNA and cells

  • Regulating circadian rhythm

NAD IV therapy can improve the look of your skin and make hair and nails feel thicker. Plus, NAD can help you look and feel younger by boosting your overall health. Considering the many benefits of vitamin B, you shouldn’t be surprised that NAD is so good for your general wellbeing.

2. Protect the Brain

NAD is active in the brain, where its main function is to protect cells from losing a substance called myelin. Myelin is vital for quick communication between brain cells.

Some evidence also suggests that NAD could function as a neurotransmitter in the brain. This means NAD may be more directly involved in brain cell-to-cell communication.

NAD IV therapy is often reported as being very effective at defeating brain fog. That’s right: NAD can help you think more clearly for better decision-making skills and faster mental reflexes.

3. Provide Anti-Aging Effects

vascular aging is the process through which veins start to die off. This process restricts the amount of blood that can flow around the body.

What does this mean for you? Less blood flow confers a less youthful appearance to the skin, causing wrinkles and loss of that healthy glow.

Luckily, NAD IV therapy can prevent and even reverse these effects. What’s more, some studies suggest that NAD can help reduce your risk for certain diseases and disorders.

4. Muscle Protection and Recovery

Another major downside to losing blood vessels as you age is the effect on your muscles.

NAD also helps blood vessels and muscles communicate, so your muscles get a double hit as you get older. First, by receiving less blood and, second, by receiving fewer signals from blood vessels as NAD levels decline.

There is good news, though: NAD therapy can replenish valuable levels of NAD. That way, remaining blood vessels and muscles can communicate more efficiently. That means better protection for your muscles from frailty as you age.

5. DNA Repair

Aging disrupts the normal process of turning DNA into proteins. More mutations and errors occur the older you get, and some researchers are beginning to suspect this is due to age-related declines in NAD levels.

Indeed, nad regulates proteins responsible for preventing damage to and repairing DNA. What’s more, NAD assists the mitochondria with folding proteins into their proper shapes.

Here’s the secret about DNA repair: faulty repair mechanisms are correlated with tumorigenesis and cell death. That means frequent NAD IV therapies could help reduce your risk of cancer and promote cell survival.

6. Promote Weight Loss

One of the most well-studied benefits of NAD is its influence over metabolism. Metabolism is the process of turning food into ATP, which your cells use as energy.

NAD assists with the production of ATP, meaning your body has more energy to use up. It also helps speed up reactions during metabolism. That way, you’re using food more efficiently.

What does this mean for weight loss, you may wonder?

You’ve probably heard that the higher your metabolism, the faster you burn the calories you eat. It’s true, and frequent NAD IV therapy can help keep metabolism running efficiently. The more efficient your metabolism is, the better your body will be at converting food into energy and not into fat.

7. Treat Addiction

People undergoing substance abuse treatment have to suffer through the awful side effects of their medication. That’s why it’s so exciting that NAD reduces withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings in people recovering from addiction.

Even better? NAD can help repair nerves and other cells damaged throughout the addiction. That way, both the brain and body can recover completely.

8. Combat Depression

People who frequently undergo NAD IV therapy report elevated mood. For this reason, scientists have looked into the link between NAD and depression. Here’s what they’ve found.

NAD boosts levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is your brain’s “happy molecule,” and it’s one of the first brain chemicals altered in depression. This neurotransmitter may also influence:

  • Anxiety

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Insomnia

Getting NAD IV treatment can offer relief from serotonin deficiencies. Of course, talk to your health care provider before using NAD IV therapy in place of your regular medications.

9. Boost Cognition

Your mood isn’t the only brain function for which NAD is important. NAD treatments have been shown to benefit cognition (i.e., thinking, memory, focus, etc.).

While researchers are still investigating how NAD influences cognition, they do know one thing. NAD’s neuroprotective qualities are definitely involved. In fact, some studies show that NAD can help restore cognitive function in individuals with Alzheimer’s.

No, NAD IV therapy won’t cure any neurodegenerative diseases. Still, it can help you have more clarity of mind.

10. Increase Energy Levels

Remember how we talked about metabolism and its relation to weight loss? Then you may recall that the product of metabolism is ATP, which the body’s cells use as energy.

This also translates to your energy levels overall. The more efficiently your metabolism is running, the more energy you have on hand for daily activities.
