NAD+ How does it work?
This is how NAD therapy works
NAD+ IV therapy involves the direct administration of NAD+ into the bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) drip. This method allows for a rapid and efficient delivery of NAD+ to cells throughout the body, bypassing the digestive system where absorption can be less effective.
Here’s how NAD+ IV therapy works:
- Direct Infusion: NAD+ is administered directly into the bloodstream, ensuring that the coenzyme reaches tissues and cells quickly and at higher concentrations than oral supplements can provide.
- Cellular Uptake: Once in the bloodstream, NAD+ is readily absorbed by cells. This boosts the levels of NAD+ within cells, enhancing their ability to produce energy and perform various metabolic functions.
- Energy Production: NAD+ is crucial for the function of mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. Increased NAD+ levels improve the efficiency of the mitochondria, leading to better energy production and cellular function.
- DNA Repair and Anti-Aging: NAD+ plays a key role in DNA repair and the regulation of genes involved in aging. Higher levels of NAD+ support these processes, potentially slowing down the aging process and improving cellular health.
- Neuroprotection: In the brain, NAD+ supports neuronal function and protection, potentially improving cognitive function and reducing symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases.
Overall, NAD+ IV therapy aims to replenish declining levels of this critical coenzyme, thereby enhancing overall cellular function, energy production, and potentially offering anti-aging benefits.
