Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+), a remarkable molecule with a multitude of functions in our bodies. From cellular energy production to DNA repair, NAD+ plays a vital role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. In this blog, we will dive deep into the world of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, exploring its functions, sources, benefits, and exciting research surrounding its potential applications. Whether you’re curious about boosting your energy levels, improving longevity, or simply enhancing your overall health, join us on this enlightening journey as we unravel all you need to know about Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide.
What is (NAD+)?
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is essential for ALL CELL’s vitality and cellular function. It is extremely important in electron transport and the Krebs cycle (remember talking about this in science class?). The body uses the amino acid, tryptophan, and the vitamin precursors nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, often known as vitamin B3 or niacin, to produce NAD+ naturally.
What does this mean? It means that Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is essential to cellular health, which in turn means it is essential to your HEALTH and longevity. Sometimes called the modern fountain of youth, the highest NAD+ levels are found in neonates, and they gradually decrease with increasing age. By the time we are at about age 50, our NAD+ levels are about half of what they were in our youth.
With Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide becoming depleted over time, we must contend with increased DNA damage, age-related illnesses and diseases, and mitochondrial malfunction. Remember, this is the powerhouse of your cells. If we have a mitochondrial malfunction, OUR CELLS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AT CAPACITY.
How Does NAD+ Deficiency Affect The Body?
Studies of aging and senescence (cell death) frequently highlight a deterioration in mitochondrial health, and investigations of NAD+ depletion and the associated oxidative stress and damage corroborate these findings.
Studies have shown that the age-related drop in NAD+ levels is caused by rising levels of CD38, which is released from adipose tissue. The study also demonstrated that human adipose tissue from older adults (mean age, 61 years) expresses the CD38 gene at higher levels than that of younger adults (mean age, 34 years).
Low Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide levels have recently been associated with a variety of age-related ailments and diseases linked to increased oxidative/free radical damage, including diabetes, heart disease, vascular dysfunction, ischemic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, and vision loss.
How YOU Can Get Started On NAD+ Treatment
At the ReUP Men’s Clinic, we offer NAD+ infusions as part of our anti-aging, IV therapy program. The infusions are done under controlled and monitored medical supervision. There is a 2-hour infusion where we will infuse 500mg of NAD+ or a 4-hour infusion where we will infuse 1000mg of NAD+.
What Are The Benefits Of (NAD+)?
Are you curious to know the benefits you can expect from Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide? As outlined above, by increasing our body’s levels of NAD+, we improve the Redox operations and the mitochondrial health of our cells. Below are some of the benefits:
- Slows down aging
- Increases energy level
- Improves cognitive function
- Reduces cholesterol
- Reduces cancer risk
All treatments have the potential for side effects. Some side effects of NAD+ infusion therapy are:
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Cramping during the IV administration
- Temporary brain fog
