Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme present in all living cells, plays a pivotal role in energy metabolism and cellular functions, stress resistance, inflammation and nerve function. The natural decline of NAD+ levels with age has been associated with various age-related health issues.

Recent research highlights the potential benefits of NAD+ IV therapy. A 2022 study published in Nature examined the effects of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor to NAD+, on aging. The findings suggest that elevating NAD+ levels with supplementation can lead to improved muscle function, energy and neuroprotective effects—supporting brain health, mental clarity and resistance to stress.

There are many benefits of maintaining optimal NAD+ levels. NAD+ is essential for converting nutrients into cellular energy, supporting overall vitality and energy levels. NAD+ also plays a critical role in repairing damaged DNA, thereby maintaining genomic stability. Adequate NAD+ levels are linked to improved cognitive function and may protect against neurodegenerative diseases. NAD+ influences metabolic processes, potentially aiding in weight management and reducing the risk of metabolic disorders. While NAD+ supplementation shows promise, it’s essential to consult with healthcare professionals to determine its suitability for individual cases.
