NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of nutrients and the production of energy. Some people have suggested that NAD+ supplements, including injections and intravenous therapies, may have a range of potential health benefits.

NAD+, Sirtuins, Longevity & Healthspan

NAD+ plays a crucial role in the activation of sirtuins, which are a group of enzymes that have been linked to various health benefits. Sirtuins are involved in a number of important biological processes, including DNA repair, inflammation, and the regulation of metabolism. Some studies have suggested that sirtuins may play a role in the health benefits associated with calorie restriction and exercise, as both of these interventions increase sirtuin activity.

NAD+ is required for the activation of sirtuins, as sirtuins use NAD+ as a substrate to perform their enzymatic reactions. When NAD+ levels are low, sirtuin activity is reduced, which may have negative effects on various biological processes. Some studies have suggested that increasing NAD+ levels through supplements or injections may help to boost sirtuin activity and potentially provide some of the health benefits associated with sirtuins.

potential benefits of NAD+ therapy

1. May reduce the risk of age-related diseases: Some studies have suggested that NAD+ levels decline with age and that this may contribute to the development of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Increasing NAD+ levels may help to prevent or delay the onset of these diseases.

2. May improve brain function, performance & productivity: Some studies have suggested that NAD+ may improve brain function in animals.

3. May promoting healthy aging: NAD+ may help to promote healthy aging by supporting the body's natural repair and regeneration processes.

injections over iv therapy

Traditionally, NAD+ therapy has been expensive, time-consuming and uncomfortable. A typical intravenous therapy including NAD+ may drip over hours, and be very expensive due to the time you’re paying a doctor to spend with you. Most people experience some level of discomfort during NAD+ therapies, and intravenous therapies prolongs that uncomfortableness unnecessarily.

NAD+ injections require minimal time (typically 15min appointments), and are therefore much more cost-effective. There is no need to schedule an entire day off of work any longer! While many people may experience mild, short-lived uncomfortableness immediately following the injection, this feeling subsides within minutes. Mild pain at the injection site during, and immediately following an NAD+ injection typically resolves within minutes to hours.
