Is NAD Right for Me?

June 5, 2025

NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, a coenzyme found in all living cells. It
plays an important role in energy metabolism and maintaining proper cell function. Our patients
looking for increased energy, better metabolic health, improved memory, and anti aging benefits
are loving their NAD therapy. NAD+ is essential in converting food into energy via cellular
respiration (especially in mitochondria). It activates enzymes like PARPs involved in repairing
damaged DNA. NAD+ is also a cofactor for sirtuins, proteins that regulate aging, inflammation,
and metabolism. It provides neuroprotection by supporting brain cell function and repair.

Benefits of NAD therapy:

  1. Increased Energy Levels: NAD+ is vital for mitochondrial function, which is responsible
    for producing ATP—the energy currency of the cell. Higher NAD+ levels may help
    reduce fatigue and increase overall vitality
  2. Improved Brain Function: Enhances mental clarity, focus, and memory.
    Supports neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to adapt).
    NAD+ may help repair neurons and protect against neurodegeneration
  3. Enhanced Athletic Performance & Recovery: Helps muscles produce energy more
    efficiently. May reduce recovery time after intense workouts. Supports muscle regeneration and
    reduces inflammation.
  4. Anti-Aging Effects: NAD+ is linked to sirtuins, proteins involved in longevity and DNA
    repair. Helps reduce signs of aging at the cellular level by improving mitochondrial health.
    Regulates inflammation, stress resistance, and longevity. Protects against age-related cell
    damage.
  5. Better Metabolic Health: NAD can improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate fat
    storage.

Ways to Boost NAD: Exercise, Intermittent fasting, caloric restriction, limiting alcohol, good
sleep & stress management and NAD supplementation.
