NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ | A B3 Vitamin Derivative
What if there was a substance that could turn back time, restore energy, improve athletic performance, bring back clarity of thought, reverse depression AND help curb cravings for alcohol and drugs even in the most addicted individuals? NAD+ is that substance! The intravenous NAD+ activates enzymes in the bloodstream, called sirtuins, which promotes the good aspects of your genes.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a B vitamin derivative co-enzyme. It is located in the human body’s cell mitochondria. The mitochondria is the “powerhouse” of the cell that turns the food we eat into fuel. NAD+ promotes cellular regeneration and is a part of the conversion of cellular energy. NAD+ IV therapies has been proven in research to repair DNA, protect brain cell damage, fight and reduce inflammation, fight the oxidative processes that cause aging and disease, and help prevent memory loss and diseases that affect the brain.
NAD+ and COVID-19 Treatments
Due of the damaging nature of COVID-19 infections, NAD+ infusions have been found to reduce the amount of time to recover from those effects so that it takes 1/3 of the time. Instead of a 9-week recovery, patients have shown the same level of improvement in their post-COVID health in as little as 3 weeks. Even after beating the virus, residual effects are common. NAD+ also aides in brain fog and excessive fatigue, just to name a few.
It should be noted that every patient is different, and while there are definite benefits of utilizing NAD+ therapy for COVID-19 recovery, the results may vary greatly from one patient to another. Sticking with the therapy, eating right and getting proper rest are all things that promote the body’s natural ability to bounce back. Some patients also require additional vitamin infusions to aid in their recovery. Each patient is evaluated individually and an appropriate treatment plan based on their symptoms is devised.

Possible Side Effects
of NAD+ Treatment
Chest heaviness/tightness
Stomach cramps
Headache
Numbness and tingling
Possible Side Effects
Mild to moderate nausea, fatigue, headache, diarrhea, stomach discomfort and indigestion
Flushing, sweating and overall discomfort.
*Symptoms usually abate during the treatment by
slowing the infusion rate and resolve themselves shortly
after the completion of the infusion.

Breaking Down NAD+ Therapy
What is Nicotinamide Riboside?
Nicotinamide riboside, or niagen, is an alternative form of vitamin B3, also called niacin. Like other forms of vitamin B3, nicotinamide riboside is converted by your body into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme or helper molecule. NAD+ acts as fuel for many key biological processes, such as:
Converting food into energy
Repairing damaged DNA
Fortifying cells’ defense systems
Setting your body’s internal clock of circadian rhythm
Do our bodies naturally produce NAD+?
The amount of NAD+ in your body naturally falls with age. Low NAD+ levels have been linked to health concerns like aging, and chronic illness, such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and vision loss. Research has found that raising NAD+ levels may help reverse signs of aging and lower the risk of many chronic diseases. Nicotinamide riboside supplements, such as niagen, have quickly become popular because they appear to be especially effective at raising NAD+ levels.

NAD+ plays a key role in helping your brain cells age well. Within the brains’ cells, NAD+ helps control the production of PGC-1-alpha - a protein that appears to help protect cells against oxidative stress and impaired mitochondrial function. Researchers believe both of these are linked to age-related brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
So, how does NAD+ IV Therapy Work?
NAD+ IV Therapy is an emerging vitamin therapy that is all-natural, holistic and has shown outstanding results. The body naturally produces NAD, but overall levels of the coenzyme decreases over time, leading to cellular changes. IV NAD+ gives your body back this powerful molecule by:
Building up mitochondria – the power source in cells
Lengthening telomeres - markers of biological age and the protective caps located at the ends of chromosomes that shorten as the body ages
Increasing the activity of SIRT1 and PARP 1 proteins - linked with a slower rate of aging
Influencing DNA repair
Giving more power back to the brain!
NAD+ and Anti-aging
NAD is a coenzyme that powers metabolic processes and impacts a wide variety of systems including digestion, cognition and mental clarity, overall energy levels and aging. One of its most significant roles within the body is in oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions. These reactions are a part of the metabolic system and converts food into energy the body needs to function properly. NAD plays a significant role in anti-aging. This essential coenzyme promotes cellular regeneration and brain restoration. Studies have found replenishing cellular levels of NAD can repair DNA, protect brain cells from damage, reduce inflammation and turn enzymes on that help prevent aging.
