NAD+ Exposed! 

Aging is a worry for all individuals. There are several studies on biological markers and the effects of aging. Biological markers allow for various metrics to help identify the health within our bodies; this can include blood pressure, heart rate, introductory metabolic rate, etc. One important co-enzyme that interacts with these biological markers and several others is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), also known as vitamin B3. NAD+ is an enzyme that binds to the DBC1 protein (gene), allowing it to repair damaged DNA. As the cellular aging process increases, NAD+ has been identified as declining in the liver, skin, brain, plasma, and skeletal muscle. The need to help regenerate the NAD+ cells becomes critical in helping combat several chronic health conditions. The use of NAD+ IV Therapies helps provide anti aging, slow the processes for chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease or cancer, and helps improve health and wellness.

Important facts:

NAD+ declines with age.NAD+ helps bind with our genes to help fight against deformities of DNA. Gene deformities can be the cause of several chronic health conditions.

Benefits of NAD+:

  • DNA Repair: Restoring the typical base-pair sequence and structure of damaged DNA.
  • Therapeutic Strategy: Tackling those degenerative diseases to extend lifespan.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Strengthening muscle function and mass, helping to prevent loss.
  • Cardiovascular health: Increasing the cellular energy process to help combat heart health.
  • Cognitive Function: Reducing nerve cell inflammation.
  • Parkinson's Disease:  Early studies show an NAD+ deficiency in those with this chronic condition.

What is NAD+ and What are the Benefits?

NAD+, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, particularly in energy production and cellular repair.

What is NAD?

NAD exists in two forms:

  1. NAD+ (oxidized form): Acts as a key player in metabolic reactions, helping convert nutrients into energy.
  2. NADH (reduced form): Carries electrons from one reaction to another in the process of producing energy.

Benefits of NAD:

  1. Energy Production: NAD+ is essential for converting food into energy. It plays a central role in the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, which are critical for ATP production.
  2. Cellular Repair and Longevity: NAD+ helps repair damaged DNA and maintain the health of cells. It activates sirtuins, proteins that regulate cellular health, thereby promoting longevity.
  3. Immune Support: NAD+ enhances the function of immune cells, helping the body to better fight infections and recover from illnesses.
  4. Brain Health: NAD+ is very important for maintaining cognitive function. It supports neuron function, protects against neurodegeneration, and can improve memory and focus.
  5. Metabolic Function: By supporting the metabolism of glucose, fats, and alcohol, NAD+ helps maintain metabolic health and can assist in weight management.
  6. Anti-Aging: Higher levels of NAD+ are associated with reduced signs of aging. It helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation, contributing to a more youthful appearance and healthier skin. As people get older, producing NAD naturally decreases. 
  7. Improved Muscle Function and Recovery: NAD+ supports muscle health by aiding in muscle regeneration and repair, making it beneficial for athletes and those recovering from injury.
  8. Mood and Stress: NAD+ can influence mood and stress levels by supporting neurotransmitter function and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.

NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, but they can be boosted through IV therapy. Advanced Mobile IV offers NAD+ IV therapy and some franchises offer NAD patches. 

Common Side Effects of NAD+ IV Therapy:

- Nausea

- Headaches

- Warm Feeling in Body/Flushing

- Fatigue
