Top Benefits of NAD Therapy - Concierge MD

NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme active in various cellular energy functions. 

What is NAD Therapy?

As you age, NAD levels fall, reducing the amount of metabolic energy your body can produce to repair, regenerate, and heal faster. NAD therapy can increase the bioavailability of NAD and can be administered in several ways:

IV NAD Supplementation
NAD Injections
Nasal Sprays
NAD Capsules

Potential Benefits of NAD Therapy

1. Slow Signs of Aging

Scientists have found that as we age, NAD levels decline (1). NAD therapy replenishes NAD levels, which may slow down the aging process and may also slow down the onset of age-related conditions.

2. Weight Loss

NAD therapy can be helpful in weight loss as weight gain suppresses the production of NAD. 

3. Addiction Recovery

According to one scientific paper (2), increasing NAD IV therapy reduced cravings and helped cells regulate withdrawal side effects.

4. Reduced Chronic Pain

Supplementing NAD levels increases the brain’s signaling factors, telling the affected cells to switch off the inflammation response, reducing chronic pain.

5. Improved Cognitive Function

Scientists believe NAD plays a role in helping brain cells retain their plasticity. NAD therapy increases the bioavailability of NAD to brain cells, supporting cell renewal and regeneration signaling. Although not yet fully understood, NAD therapy may offer improvements in cognitive function.

6. Boost Energy and Reduce Fatigue

A study exploring the link between NAD and energy (3) found it directly linked to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, the body’s energy-carrying molecule. NAD therapy may increase ATP production, ultimately supporting elevated energy levels.

7. Aid With Anxiety and Depression

NAD has an antidepressant effect as it modulates neurochemicals to correct imbalances, promotes better mood regulation, and forms new brain cells in damaged areas.

NAD Therapy Side Effects

When NAD therapy is dosed and monitored by a medical professional, the risk is extremely low. Read more about the most common side effects of NAD therapy.
