NAD +
The human body is a marvel, replete with enzymes and proteins that contribute to our well-being and vitality. As we age, these natural processes may slow, leading us to consider external supplements to potentially maintain these positive effects.
(Minhas et al., 2019).
What Is NAD?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, is a coenzyme present in every cell of our bodies. This crucial component plays a role in converting nutrients to energy and supports various cellular functions. Maintaining NAD+ levels is essential for our overall biological functioning, akin to the importance of food, water, and oxygen. Fluctuations in NAD levels might be associated with various health concerns. (Conlon, 2022).

Potential Benefits of NAD+
While the definitive benefits of NAD+ require more research, some evidence suggests it may play a role in supporting various aspects of mental and physical health.
(Zhao et al., 2021). (Rennie et al., 2015). (Yaku et al., 2018).
(Abdellatif et al., 2021). (Matasic et al., 2018).
NAD, as a coenzyme, is involved in critical functions such as supporting antioxidant activity, managing inflammation, and possibly influencing mood.
Its involvement in regulating the circadian rhythm may also assist in achieving restful sleep and maintaining energy throughout the day. (Conlon, 2022).
Furthermore, reported benefits of aging associated with NAD include potentially mitigating age-related cognitive decline, supporting mitochondrial function for enhanced cellular energy production, and promoting DNA repair mechanisms, which may contribute to longevity and overall well-being.
(Minhas et al., 2019).
Why Choose NAD+ Supplements?
Possible Enhancement of Well-being and Energy:
NAD+ could assist in rejuvenating your body at the cellular level. Those undertaking NAD+ might notice a boost in vitality, potentially restoring a sense of vigour. (Minhas et al., 2019). (Conlon, 2022)
Support for Metabolic Health:
While increased energy from NAD+ may contribute to improved metabolic functions, maintaining a healthy weight depends on lifestyle factors like regular exercise and a balanced diet. (Conlon, 2022).
Support in Managing Discomfort and Mood Variability:
The role of NAD in antioxidant activation and inflammation management might harmonise bodily processes to alleviate discomfort. Moreover, NAD+ might support the body’s serotonin levels, which could play a part in mood regulation, offering support to those experiencing mood fluctuations.(Conlon, 2022).
Support for Stress and Mental Well-being:
With NAD+ present in every cell, including those in the brain, NAD+ might support mental well-being. It could potentially complement existing mental health strategies. For those under mental health care, a consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended to discuss the compatibility of NAD+ with current treatments. (Zhao et al., 2021). (Rennie et al., 2015). (Yaku et al., 2018).
Contribution to Mental Clarity:
Some individuals might find that NAD+ supports their cognitive functions, potentially assisting with concentration and providing nutritional support to brain cells. This could be particularly beneficial for those experiencing brain fog seeking to improve their mental focus and memory. (Zhao et al., 2021). (Rennieet al., 2015). (Yaku et al., 2018).
Skin Health and Ageing:
While the impact of NAD+ on skin health and signs of ageing is an area of ongoing study, some suggest that NAD+ may support the body’s natural processes, including collagen maintenance and skin elasticity. It’s thought that this could lead to improved skin texture and resilience. (Conlon, 2022).
Metabolic Support:
NAD+ may support the body’s natural metabolic processes. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that any weight management strategy should be comprehensive, including diet and exercise. (Abdellatif et al., 2021). (Matasic et al., 2018).
Supporting Recovery:
The role of NAD+ in the body’s natural repair mechanisms, such as supporting muscle recovery and cellular regeneration, is an area of scientific interest. NAD+ could, therefore, be considered as a complementary approach to traditional recovery methods after consultation with a healthcare professional. (Conlon, 2022).
Identifying Potential Candidates for NAD+
Individuals experiencing low energy levels, persistent fatigue, or cognitive challenges such as brain fog might consider exploring NAD+ as a potential option.
Replenishing NAD levels could support the reduction of these symptoms and may have a role in managing certain age-related conditions, acknowledging that NAD levels naturally decline with age. (Minhas et al., 2019)

FAQs
What is NAD+, and what is its function?
NAD+, or Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a coenzyme essential for cellular health, playing a vital role in our metabolic process. It aids in determining how efficiently vitamins and nutrients from our diet are utilised.
While NAD+ is associated with several cellular functions, including supporting longevity and cognitive health, it’s also involved in the complex process of DNA and cell maintenance, which is a subject of research in the context of aging. (Minhas et al., 2019). (Conlon, 2022).
What is NMN, and how is it different from NAD+?
NMN, or nicotinamide mononucleotide, acts as a precursor to NAD+. It’s a compound that complements NAD+ in our cellular health and is found in trace amounts in certain foods.
NMN supports the body’s production of NAD+, which then contributes to maintaining the functions of muscles and organs. This process is key to sustaining optimal bodily functions. (Conlon, 2022).
Can NAD+ Therapy Support Aging Processes?
NAD+ is involved in various cellular functions that may influence energy levels, cognitive sharpness, and hair and skin health. While some suggest that maintaining NAD+ levels might support these functions significantly as natural production declines with age, the role of NAD+ in aging is complex and multifaceted.
NAD+ supplements, including injections, tablets, or treatments, are considered by some as part of a broader skincare and wellness routine. (Conlon, 2022).
What to Expect During an NAD+ IV Session?
Following a personalised consultation to tailor the treatment to your needs, you can receive your NAD+ at a location you find most comfortable. During the session, which typically lasts about 90 minutes, you can relax and engage in quiet activities.
After the session, patients usually can resume their daily activities. Alternatives to IV therapy, like intramuscular or subcutaneous shots, are available and may suit different preferences or time constraints.
Potential Side Effects of NAD+ Therapy?
While NAD+ is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as nausea or muscle weakness. If any discomfort arises, it’s crucial to inform the attending nurse, as adjusting the treatment rate often helps alleviate these reactions.
Anticipated Outcomes from NAD+ Therapy?
Clients often report feeling rejuvenated, with a sense of heightened mental clarity and vitality following NAD+, with these sensations potentially lasting several weeks. On a cellular level, NAD+ supplementation may support cellular health, which could be reflected in the appearance of the skin and hair. However, individual experiences with NAD+ can vary.
(Minhas et al., 2019). (Conlon, 2022). (Zhao et al., 2021). (Rennie et al., 2015). (Yaku et al., 2018).
Duration of NAD+ Therapy Benefits?
A NAD+ session is a brief commitment of about 90 minutes, with some clients reporting sustained feelings of well-being for several weeks post-treatment.
