NAD+ THERAPY
NAD+ THERAPY
NAD+ therapy may be recommended on its own or as an adjunct with ketamine, according to the individual needs of clients. Our goal is to empower you to recover and reclaim your native levels of happiness, vivacity, and passion by helping to restore some of your body’s most powerful molecules.
Modern life can divert us from our primary identity and purpose, and over time regular biological function declines due to simple aging. Connections Wellness can help you get back to your best by reviving one of the body’s most powerful natural sources of strength and performance.
What is NAD+?
Every cell in the human body needs NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) to carry out its work. This co-enzyme of niacin, one of the B vitamins, fulfills many critical biochemical roles. One of its main functions is in the production of ATP (energy), making possible the many types of cellular activity performed every minute of every day.
As we age, our reserves of NAD+ drop. By our 20’s, we only have about half of the amount we had at birth. By the time we reach our 50’s, our bodies could be producing as little as 30% of the amount generated in our youth.
What does NAD+ do?
Because NAD+ is a critical enzyme that helps cells perform their individual functions, less NAD+ available in our bodies means there’s less to use. Less to use means less efficiency of function. Less efficiency of function makes more dysfunction possible, and cellular dysfunction leads to chronic conditions and degeneration (breakdown) –like inflammation and arthritis, dementia, and other common age-related conditions. Lowered levels of NAD+ are well-associated for their role in the aging body, but also for the effect on overall energy levels and mental clarity.
NAD+ has many roles to play in health and disease, and NAD+ therapy by IV infusion is an extremely efficient way to reap almost immediate benefits.
NAD+ therapy aids in cell repair, particularly liver regeneration
Increases vitality
Can be a powerfully effective treatment for anxiety and depression
Enhanced energy and cognitive performance
Restores and enhances the performance of cells
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, fibromyalgia, heart disease, diabetes, mitochondrial dysfunction, and multiple sclerosis may all be improved through NAD+ therapeutic interventions
When given with ketamine, NAD+ synergistically combats substance use disorders by renewing neuronal connections, allowing destructive patterns to be replaced by fresh, healthier alternatives
Many of our patients who try NAD+ also lose weight, because it increases energy, motivation, and better sleep.
Other biological processes aided by NAD+ include:
The protection and repairing of our DNA
Cellular regeneration (healing/recovery from injuries)
Metabolism improvement and regulation
Gene expression (resisting mutation)
Maintaining mitochondrial function
Preserving the integrity of chromosomes
Calcium signaling (cellular communication)
NAD+ Infusion
Connections Wellness Center provides IV NAD+ therapy directly to the bloodstream through an IV, a process called infusing. Infusion makes NAD+ immediately and easily accessible for use by the body’s systems.
Administration by infusion also makes a higher, more potent therapeutic dose of NAD+ available than would be possible through oral administration. NAD+ is a very large and unstable molecule making absorption via the digestive system extremely difficult.
