NAD+

It’s hard to believe that one molecule could make such a difference to your health, but nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is so vital for numerous body functions that low levels can dramatically affect your health. The experienced team at Flow IV Drips in the Financial District neighborhood of Manhattan, New York, assesses your health and runs blood tests to determine if you’re low in NAD+. Then, they offer NAD+ infusions, a transformative therapy that restores energy and wellness. To schedule a consultation, call Flow IV Drips or reach out by email today.

What is NAD+?

Every activity in your body, from digestion and building proteins to healing, happens in a series of chemical reactions. Each step in a reaction requires certain substances. If one substance is missing, the reaction can’t proceed, limiting essential functions.

NAD+, a molecule abundant in every cell in your body, is essential for more than 500 reactions inside your body, and it has a role in regulating nearly every key function. Without a good supply of NAD+, some aspect of your health begins to suffer.

What are the benefits of NAD+?

Your body depends on NAD+ to produce energy and ensure your brain, nerves, and organs keep working. NAD+ (together with other substances) repairs DNA, protects cells from toxins, strengthens your immune system, and produces neurotransmitters. And, these are just a few examples of its many roles.

If your NAD+ levels fall, your risk of developing health problems increases. A few conditions associated with low NAD+ include:

• Infections
• Atherosclerosis (clogged arteries)
• High blood pressure
• Dementia
• Parkinson’s disease
• Type 2 diabetes

A deficiency in NAD+ also contributes to chronic inflammatory conditions, such as heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma.

When would I need NAD+ therapy?

You benefit from NAD+ therapy whenever your NAD+ levels fall below normal. NAD+ levels naturally decrease as you get older. Physical stress, whether caused by an illness, chronic health condition, surgery, or intensive athletic training, depletes NAD+.

Your body needs a healthy supply of niacin (vitamin B3) to produce NAD+. If your diet doesn’t include enough niacin from sources like turkey, chicken, salmon, beef, beans, and fortified cereals, you may not have enough NAD+.

What other benefits might I receive from NAD+ therapy?

In addition to supporting your body’s overall health and well-being, an intravenous (IV) infusion of NAD+ may also:

Fight aging

NAD+ supports proteins that repair DNA and protects cells from age-related damage. As a result, it may prevent some diseases that occur as you get older.

Support muscle recovery

NAD+ supports an array of cellular activities that maintain muscle strength and promote muscle recovery after intensive exercise.

Boost cognition and support mental health

As part of its normal activities, NAD+ supports healthy nerves and communication between the nerves in your brain. Additionally, low NAD+ levels are associated with depression and vascular dementia.
