NAD is a key part of all cellular energy and repair reactions. It helps produce ATP which represents the cellular energy currency. As we age there is a decline in intracellular NAD+ levels which leads to reduced levels of ATP.
Our NAD stores are depleted with age, chronic illness, chronic pain, depression, substance and alcohol abuse, and a history of trauma or severe stress.

THE BENEFITS
NAD restores energy stores, repairs damaged DNA, and restores cellular function. It has important benefits for addiction, mood disorders, chronic fatigue and pain, and neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's, and Multiple Sclerosis. NAD also plays a major role in anti-aging and brain health medicine by promoting cellular repair and efficiency.
Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD
How It Works
NAD Improves Mood By:
- Reducing Anxiety and Depression
- Releasing Oxytocin
- Stimulating social behavior well-being hormones
Neurodegenerative Disorders
How It Works
NAD Improves Function in Neurological Disease By:
- Restoring neurotransmitter levels in the brain
- Reversing brain cellular inflammation
- Improving brain cell energy production
- In multiple studies these conditions
- NAD+ significantly delayed the onset of the disease as well as its severity.
Substance and Alcohol Addiction
NAD Helps Reverse Addiction By:
- Restoring the body’s impaired energy production system
- Reducing the body’s dependence on abused substances by restoring cellular balance and cell’s ability to function without the abused drug or alcohol
- Shifting cell energy production from glucose to fats
- Reducing cell inflammation and acidity
- Improving cellular waste elimination ability
Chronic Fatigue and Pain
How It Works
NAD Reduces Chronic Fatigue and Pain By:
- Restoring cellular energy production
- Reducing inflammation in the cells
- Improving muscle and nerve oxygenation
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
NAD is a molecule that is essential for life. It gets depleted with age, chronic illness, trauma, and stress. When administered intravenously, it allows for maximal absorption. We typically recommend oral supplementation with NAD precursors in between IV treatments.
ADMINISTRATION
NAD IV treatment/ infusion is the only proven way to achieve maximum intracellular levels safely without side effects.
IV NAD is typically tapered up in dose over the course of four to six weekly treatments and is then done as maintenance that varies from monthly to quarterly depending on the condition.
Available oral forms that are most commonly used:
- Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)
- Nicotinomide Mononucleatide (NMN)
SAFETY
NAD is considered generally safe as it is a molecule made by our bodies.
Its safety is questioned in cancer due to the possibility of activation of existing cancer cells.
