NAD+
NAD+ is a derivative of vitamin B3 (niacin) and is involved in nearly every biochemical process in the body. It is often used in what are called redox reactions, or reactions of electron exchange. This is what enables energy production at the cellular level, as well as balance between oxidative and antioxidant states in the body. When optimally balanced, you will feel the balance on a physical level in the form of increased energy, greater mental clarity, and faster recovery times (whether from illness, exercise, overwork, etc.).
Benefits of NAD+
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every cell of our body, playing a vital role in energy metabolism and maintaining overall health. In recent years, NAD+ has gained significant attention due to its potential benefits in various aspects of human health and wellbeing.
Energy Production
NAD+ is a crucial component in cellular energy production. It participates in redox reactions within the mitochondria, helping convert nutrients into energy (ATP). This process is essential for supporting optimal cellular function and overall energy levels.
Age-related Decline
NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age, leading to decreased cellular energy and impaired cellular function. Supplementing with NAD+ has shown promise in potentially mitigating these age-related effects, supporting healthy aging processes.
DNA Repair
NAD+ is involved in DNA repair mechanisms, aiding in maintaining the integrity and stability of our genetic material. By supporting DNA repair, NAD+ may help prevent mutations and the development of certain diseases.
Neuroprotection
NAD+ plays a critical role in neuronal health and has been linked to neuroprotective effects. It can help support the function and survival of neurons, potentially offering benefits in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
NAD+ Treatment Options
We offer NAD+ at $1 per mg, and recommend starting at a lower dose first then working up to higher doses. Our on-site doctor can help create an NAD+ plan specific to you.
Injectables
An injection is a quicker method for delivering a lower dose, allowing you to gauge your tolerance more effectively. It is also good for maintenance dosing between NAD+ IVs.
25mg | $25
50mg | $50
100mg | $100
Infusions
Infusions allow for larger doses of NAD+. We recommend that these higher doses of NAD+ be administered with nutrient cofactors through an IV push ($95 value) prior to the infusion start. These nutrient cofactors help your body utilize the NAD+. At doses of 500mg and above, we include the cofactor push for you as part of the cost of the infusion.
50mg – 250mg | $50-$250
(We recommend these doses be added to The Essentials IV)
300-450mg (cofactor push not included) | $300 – $450
500mg – 750mg (includes cofactor IV push) | $500 – $750
FAQs
NAD+ is a powerful approach to healing at the cellular level, whether as part of a targeted treatment plan or health optimization support. Please see the below FAQs and don’t hesitate to reach out with any additional questions.
- What are the potential side effects of NAD+ treatments?
While NAD+ treatments are generally well-tolerated, mild discomfort during the duration of the IV can be experienced at larger doses. These potential side effects can vary depending on the method of administration and individual patient factors. This will be discussed with you before treatment.
- What conditions respond best to NAD+ therapy?
While anyone can benefit from NAD+ therapy, benefits will be most felt in states of fatigue, brain fog, overwork, chronic illness, and recovery needs (whether from an acute illness, over-exercise, or drug/alcohol use). NAD+ can also support fertility and athletic performance.
- How should I use NAD+?
The frequency and dose of NAD+ treatments depends on individual goals and conditions, but any NAD+ treatment should start at lower doses before increasing. Dr. Bull can help determine an NAD+ treatment plan that is best for you.
