What is a NAD+?
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - a natural chemical found in all the cells of your body. The main job of NAD+ is as an electron transporter in the energy generating process in the cells (in the mitochondria). In other words, NAD+ is a key component of the cellular energy generating system. Cells must be able to generate enough energy in order to function correctly and keep you healthy.
NAD+ is involved in DNA repair, telomere maintenance, cell signalling and regulation of cellular heath / aging via the sirtuin family of proteins.
NAD+ is required for about 500 different chemical reactions in the human body. It is estimated that an average person’s body contains about 3 grams of NAD+.
NAD+ levels decline with age. Correcting low levels of NAD+ may slow or reverse the aging process and prevent problems like metabolic disease, brain degenerative disease, mental illness and cancer.
What Does a Course of NAD+ Therapy Look Like?
The treatment protocol depends on the condition being treated or whether NAD+ is being used for prevention. For prevention we may recommend an initial weekly low dose infusions followed by monthly maintenance infusions, complemented by oral NAD-boosting natural medication.
NAD+ infusions are very safe, but some mild side effects are possible that are related to the speed of infusion. Normally NAD+ infusions must be run slowly at a rate of about 100mg of NAD infused per hour (depending on your individual tolerance). Faster infusion can cause a heavy, tired feeling in the arms or legs, a heavy feeling in the chest, shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea. Side effects tend to resolve very quickly once the infusion is slowed down.
