Cellular energy for a healthier, longer life.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a crucial coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a fundamental role in metabolism and energy production. It alternates between two forms: oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH), acting as a carrier of electrons in redox reactions. This function is essential for cellular respiration, ATP production, and maintaining the metabolic processes that sustain life.

A critical coenzyme for cellular function.
NAD+ is a dinucleotide, composed of two nucleotides linked by their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains adenine, and the other contains nicotinamide. It acts as a cofactor in many metabolic reactions, particularly those involved in energy production, like glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. NAD+ is also crucial for DNA repair, epigenetic regulation, and cellular signaling.
How NAD+ supports cellular energy.
NAD+ functions primarily as a redox agent in the transfer of electrons in metabolic reactions. When NAD+ accepts electrons, it is reduced to NADH, which then donates electrons in subsequent reactions, such as those in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC).
Electron Transfer
NAD+ accepts electrons and becomes NADH, helping carry energy through essential metabolic reactions.
ATP Production
This electron transfer is essential for producing ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
Enzyme Support
Beyond its metabolic roles, NAD+ serves as a substrate for enzymes such as sirtuins and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs).
Repair and Stress Response
By interacting with these enzymes, NAD+ helps control aging, cellular repair, gene expression, and responses to oxidative stress.
Support across energy, aging, and metabolic health.
Energy Metabolism
NAD+ supports mitochondrial function and ATP production, enhancing cellular energy levels. Boosting NAD+ can improve energy levels and reduce fatigue, making it a popular supplement in wellness programs.
DNA Repair
NAD+ is a substrate for PARPs, enzymes involved in repairing DNA damage. This can promote genomic stability and protect against age-related decline.
Sirtuin Activation
NAD+ activates sirtuins, a class of enzymes linked to longevity. Sirtuins help regulate cellular stress responses, promote mitochondrial biogenesis, and modulate metabolism.
Anti-Aging and Longevity
NAD+ levels decline with age, contributing to metabolic dysfunction, decreased DNA repair, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Restoring NAD+ levels has been associated with increased lifespan and healthier aging.
Neuroprotection
NAD+ plays a key role in brain health, helping to maintain cognitive function and protect neurons from degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
Inflammation Reduction
NAD+ levels can regulate inflammation by modulating immune responses, potentially protecting against chronic diseases linked to inflammation.
Metabolic Health
By enhancing insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism, NAD+ may aid in preventing metabolic disorders like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Choose the NAD+ approach that fits your goals.
Oral Supplements
NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide riboside (NR), also called TruNiagen, are commonly taken orally. These precursors are converted into NAD+ in the body. Oral administration is convenient but may have variable bioavailability. Learn more about TruNiagen here.
Convenient Daily SupportIntravenous (IV) Therapy
Direct NAD+ infusions deliver the compound directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. IV therapy is considered the most effective method for rapidly increasing NAD+ levels, but it is slower and requires medical supervision. IV NAD+ is the gold standard for rapidly and most effectively boosting NAD+ levels. We offer varying doses that will be administered in our clinic’s comfortable private rooms. Packages with discounts are available.
Gold StandardSubcutaneous Injections
NAD+ can be injected just under the skin 3-4 days/week with a very small needle and syringe. This method allows for a regular and constant supply of NAD+ to boost your everyday energy, health, and inflammation while also providing you with the longevity and lifespan benefits. We offer month long programs in varying doses, with a discount for a monthly subscription.
