What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a vital coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a key role in energy metabolism, and maintaining proper cell function. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which has been linked to various age-related diseases and a decrease in overall health. Recently, NAD+ therapy through injections has gained attention as a potential method to counteract these declines and promote health and longevity.
Mechanism of NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ therapy involves the administration of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream via injections. This method ensures higher bioavailability and quicker uptake compared to oral supplements. By increasing NAD+ levels, the therapy aims to support various cellular processes, including:
- Energy Production: NAD+ is essential for mitochondrial function, which produces ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
- DNA Repair: NAD+ activates enzymes involved in DNA repair, helping to maintain genomic stability.
- Sirtuin Activation: Sirtuins are a family of proteins that regulate cellular health, aging, and metabolic function. NAD+ is necessary for their activity.
Health Benefits of NAD+ Therapy
- Anti-Aging and Longevity Research indicates that increasing NAD+ levels can mimic the effects of calorie restriction, a known promoter of longevity. A study in "Cell Metabolism" found that NAD+ precursors like nicotinamide riboside could enhance lifespan and healthspan in animal models by improving mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress.
- Neuroprotection NAD+ has shown promise in protecting against neurodegenerative diseases. A meta-analysis published in "Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience" highlighted that NAD+ supplementation could mitigate neuroinflammation and improve cognitive function in models of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
- Metabolic Health Improving NAD+ levels have been linked to better metabolic function. A review in "Diabetes" demonstrated that NAD+ boosters could enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce fat accumulation, and improve overall metabolic health in rodent studies.
- Cardiovascular Health NAD+ therapy may also benefit heart health. According to a study in "Circulation Research," NAD+ precursors improved heart function and reduced the damage caused by heart attacks in preclinical models.

NAD+ Treatment in 3 Simple Steps
NAD+ therapy through injections represents a promising approach to enhancing health and combating age-related diseases. By directly increasing NAD+ levels, this therapy supports critical cellular functions, offering potential benefits in anti-aging, neuroprotection, metabolic health, and cardiovascular health. While more research, especially in human trials, is needed to fully understand its efficacy and safety, existing studies provide a strong foundation for the potential of NAD+ therapy in promoting overall health and longevity.
