What is NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ Therapy is the process of replacing enzyme naturally lost in the aging process, effectively making it an “Anti-Aging therapy”. NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, it is a co-enzyme synthesized from vitamin B3, and found in every one of your cells. The benefits of increasing NAD are currently being studied extensively to slow the aging process, promote better overall health/athletic performance, enhance mental abilities, and even to boost resistance to addictive behaviors.
“They have also evolved to require a molecule called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD. As we will see later, the loss of NAD as we age, and the resulting decline in sirtuins (regulatory cellular protein involved in the stress response, controlling aging/death) activity, is thought to be a primary reason our bodies develop diseases when we are old but not when we are young.”
– David Sinclair A.O., Ph.D, Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-founder of Biology of Aging Research at Harvard University.
What does NAD+ supplementation do in the human body?
Energy: NAD fuels the mitochondria with an excess of ATP through the electron transport chain, therefore increasing your energy levels.
Weight Management: NAD is responsible for glucose metabolism via the Krebs cycle pathway. Increased NAD increases metabolism and vice versa.
Disease Prevention: Disease is ultimately caused by breaks in chromosomes. NAD helps turn on longevity proteins (sirtuins) that repair and control this damage.
Free Radical Elimination: NAD functions as a very aggressive antioxidant by collecting circulating free radicals which can cause inflammation/DNA damage.
Neurological Regeneration: NAD has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, prevent damage to brain cells and reduce the risk of neuronal cell death by correcting mitochondrial metabolism.
Addiction Assistance: Drug and alcohol usage depletes natural NAD levels in the body. This makes it more difficult for the body to metabolize food into energy. It can be used as an adjunct therapy to assist in curbing cravings, detoxing the substance, and help increase energy and overall wellbeing.
Why use NAD+?
The benefits of increasing NAD are currently being studied extensively to slow the aging process, promote better overall health/athletic performance, enhance mental abilities, and even to boost resistance to addictive behaviors. There are 30+ studies on precursors like NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), NR (Nicotinamide Riboside), NAM (Nicotinamide) etc. These supplements naturally increase NAD levels after extended use. According to a study by Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, IV NAD administration safely increases NAD and maintains this elevated level during the entire study. This route of administration offers the convenience of increasing NAD rapidly to provide therapeutic levels for your specific symptoms (ex.. Post-Concussion).
NAD infusion therapy is used by many notable figures.
- Jay Cutler (Former Chicago Bears quarterback) utilizes NAD therapy to stave off his CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) symptoms.
- Austin Martz (St. Louis FC soccer player) increases his NAD levels to perform efficiently at the professional level.
- The Kardashians, Adele, Rihanna, and many more celebrities frequently receive NAD infusions to reap the vast anti-aging benefits.

Did you know the human body absorbs only a small portion of vitamins and supplements you take orally? IV Vitamin Therapy not only provides 100% absorption it’s also an excellent way to rehydrate your body and help you feel refreshed and energized.
How IV Therapy Works:
IV infusions are administered through an intravenous drip and are usually relaxing. We use an angiocath, meaning you can move your arm and the experience is pain-free. Treatments most commonly take about 30 minutes but may take up to 120 minutes or longer depending on the type of IV prescribed.
Treatment frequency varies and is dependent on many factors. It can range from weekly to monthly or as needed during times of high stress or immune challenge.
Are Oral Multivitamins Enough?
Unfortunately, many of the products sold by common vitamin brands are not made with quality ingredients. But even when oral supplements are made with quality ingredients their bioavailability; or the amount that is actually absorbed into our system is very low, approximately 10-20%.
When administered through IV, vitamins and minerals are able to bypass the GI system, ensuring that 100% of the given amount is available for our cells to use. With optimized cellular function, the body is able to absorb up to 20x more nutrients than before. IV therapy can be used to improve a wide range of health concerns including decreased energy, brain fog, hangovers and more.
