What is NAD Therapy?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) therapy is a type of treatment that can stimulate cell regeneration in your body. NAD+ is a coenzyme found in all living cells that binds with elements in your body, offering a host of benefits like reduced withdrawal symptoms during addiction recovery and enhanced cognitive processing. It has been referred to as an “Anti-Aging” OR “Helper” molecule in that it has such an essential role in supporting and promoting health that can be attributed to a prolonged lifespan.
Discovered in the early 1900s, we are only now truly starting to understand the full potential and benefits of NAD+. Such an essential role it plays, NAD+ is required for fundamental biological processes such as DNA synthesis, DNA repair, mitochondrial function, and even metabolism. As we age, NAD+ supply in our body depletes. Low NAD+ levels have been associated with increased risk of heart disease, chronic fatigue, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Dementia, and even diabetes (think metabolism).
What is NAD IV therapy good for?
While there are many health benefits of getting IV Therapy, some of the specific benefits of NAD therapy are as follows:
• Neurodegenerative Protection (Brain Health)
• Energy Boost
• Anti- Aging
• Increase Metabolism
• Decrease Inflammation
• Immune Support
Do NAD treatments work?
While no official studies have been completed there have been multiple pilot studies that are very promising. There have been amazing reports from those who are administering that they are seeing significant results as it relates to cellular regeneration and energy.
The KEY to healing is cellular regeneration as our cells make up our tissue, which makes up our organs, which make up the organism…So goes the health of the cell, so goes the health of the organism.
How often should you get NAD treatments?
The underlying medical condition an individual has will ultimately determine the frequency of NAD treatments they should receive to accelerate the healing process. As an example, someone who may be dealing with severe chronic fatigue may be inclined to seek treatment once or twice a week to get to a place where their energy levels are revitalized, then move to a monthly treatment thereafter. The same could be said as it relates to cognitive function and even weight loss.
Who is NAD IV therapy good for?
• Those who are looking to enhance a weight-loss program
• Individuals looking to increase energy levels and fight chronic fatigue
• People who are trying to recover, restore, or increase muscle strength
• Those who want to improve or revitalize cognitive and neurological function
• Individuals that are interested in lengthening their lifespan
• Folks that are trying to normalize their hormones via hormone therapy
However, the best way to know whether NAD+ is the right treatment for you is to talk with a functional medicine practitioner. The clinicians at Elite Personalized Medicine can discuss your options and recommend a treatment plan that is right for you, please contact us and we would be happy to coordinate a consult with you.
