NAD FAQs



What is NAD?


NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, also sometimes referred to as NAD regenerative therapy, is a necessary cofactor that we all have in our bodies. It’s a critical coenzyme found in every cell in your body that’s involved in hundreds of metabolic processes like cellular energy and mitochondrial health. A derivative of vitamin B3 (aka Niacin), it is essential for fueling the body’s cells with energy. NAD is naturally produced by the body but as we age, the body’s production of NAD declines which puts us at risk for diseases to occur. NAD can also be depleted by increased stress levels as well as a poor diet and if NAD isn’t at optimal levels, cells begin to malfunction, which causes fatigue among other major symptoms. When the cells are infused with NAD, it increases the body’s levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which helps with functions such as DNA repair and metabolism regulation.


Reverse aging, recovery from chronic fatigue, speed up mitochondria and oxygen demand with NAD therapy where the NAD coenzyme is delivered via IV drip directly into the bloodstream. This innovative, alternative treatment is beneficial for anyone that feels overworked, stressed, or lethargic and offers a variety of benefits with zero recovery time with many patients, immediately seeing noticeable results.

 

Oral supplements of NAD do not exist therefore Infusing your body with NAD+ with via IV therapy is the only way to ensure that you obtain 100% bioavailability from the molecule. This means that your body will absorb the highest possible supplemental coenzymes and convert them into molecular energy. NAD therapy may not only help keep the body young, but it may also help to prevent some diseases from forming. Optimizing NAD levels may also help to restore energy to our cells, enabling our body to fight against toxins, infections, disease, addiction, depression, and weight gain.

Why is NAD hard to find in California?


Currently, IV therapy is the safest and most efficient way of supplementing the coenzyme in your body since the FDA has not approved NAD as an IV therapy in the United States, California has made it extremely difficult to obtain. NAD is a highly sought after IV therapy treatment and is believed by many to promote healthy brain function, increase energy, balance moods, boost metabolism, reduce inflammation and more. NAD IV therapy is not FDA approved to treat any condition. Because it is a cutting-edge treatment, research is ongoing, and scientists are continuing to discover new benefits this therapy can have on the human body. NAD is safe. It is not habit-forming in any way. Treatment with NAD does NOT cause an altered state of consciousness or intoxicating effect. For nearly 100 years, NAD has been incredibly important, but the gradual pace of scientific research and technological development has only now begun to reveal how it can be truly utilized to optimize health and reduce disease. Our treatments are administered by a Naturopathic Doctor who is monitoring the administration and progress of your treatment plan ensuring that you are receiving the most possible benefit from NAD therapy.

 

Who is a good candidate for NAD therapy?


Anyone that struggles with reduced energy levels, feels sluggish and fatigued or feels like their mind is constantly foggy can be a good candidate. Replenishing your body's NAD+ levels can dramatically decrease fatigue as well as provide additional benefits. It is also beneficial for those struggling with chronic illness, or side effects of aging.

NAD+ IV Infusion Therapy is an excellent treatment option for patients with:


  • Alzheimer's disease

  • Parkinson's disease

  • Heart disease

  • Diabetes

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction

  • Multiple sclerosis

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Anxiety/depression

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Memory/concentration issues

  • Substance abuse issues.
