NAD+ Therapy at Pacific Pearl La Jolla
What is NAD+
NAD+ is short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, and this coenzyme can be found in every living cell in your body.
Our bodies require NAD+ to transfer the energy from the foods you eat to vital cell functions, especially in the brain.
As we grow older, certain genes can be triggered that accelerate degenerative aging processes.
This can result in symptoms such as chronic fatigue, loss of mental clarity, depression, stress, anxiety, and various other chronic illnesses. A critical factor in this process is NAD+.
Every cell in the body needs it. NAD+ and its redox partner NADH are vital for energy production (ATP) in all parts of cellular respiration.
This compound is required to “turn off” those genes that accelerate aging.
The problem comes when NAD+ levels begin to decline, either due to lifestyle, diet, use of drugs or alcohol, stress, toxins, or a host of other factors.
After age 50, NAD+ levels are typically half of the levels in younger adults.
Benefits of NAD+ Therapy
A major reason for NAD+ therapy is to replenish diminishing NAD+, as your NAD+ naturally declines with your age.
- Combatting the Aging Process: While aging is inevitable, it can be gracefully managed. NAD+ therapy, a pioneering vitamin treatment, tackles aging at the cellular level. It rejuvenates your cells, contributing to a youthful appearance and vitality, effectively slowing the aging process.
- Enhancing Metabolism and Facilitating Weight Loss: As we age, our metabolism tends to slow down, leading to weight gain. NAD++ IV Therapy is crucial in maintaining a healthy metabolic rate. It aids in weight loss and boosts overall energy by enhancing your body’s natural metabolic functions.
- Boosting Cognitive Functions: With age, our mental faculties often diminish. NAD++ IV Therapy enhances brain health, leading to improved mental clarity, focus, and cognitive abilities. This means sharper decision-making skills, increased productivity, and a better quality of life.
- Revitalizing Energy Levels and Combating Fatigue: The decrease in energy and motivation is a common aspect of aging, often reflecting a cellular imbalance. NAD++ IV Therapy replenishes your body’s energy at a cellular level, addressing fatigue and revitalizing your overall energy.
- Repairing Sun Damage and Protecting Skin Health: Sun exposure can significantly impact our skin, resulting in pigmentation, fine lines, and even skin cancer. NAD++ plays a vital role in DNA repair. Regular NAD++ treatments can activate enzymes that repair and protect your skin from sun damage.
- Reducing Inflammation and Cellular Damage: Inflammation, often exacerbated by environmental factors like pollutants and unhealthy diets, can lead to cellular and DNA damage. NAD+ therapy helps reduce inflammation, protecting and repairing cells from such damage, and promoting overall cellular health.
These benefits highlight how NAD+ therapy can be a multifaceted treatment, addressing various aspects of aging and health at a cellular level.
Intravenous NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ therapy is typically done through an Intravenous (IV) method, in order to offer the therapy throughout the body, not just one area.
An NAD intravenous (IVs) infusion provides a high concentration of NAD plus nutritional cofactors. Current blood work including a CBC and CMP must be on file.
A typical protocol involves a slow (3+ hours) infusion of NAD and cofactors administered 5 days/week for 2 weeks or for a total of 10 treatments.
A shortened 4-day protocol has been used for patients seeking to optimize cognitive health or for cellular rejuvenation/anti-aging.
While receiving infusions, patients rest comfortably in our infusion room during treatment and can read, watch meditation videos, or chat with other people getting treatment.
Some people experience some nausea or light headedness with the first few infusions. If it is too uncomfortable, anti-nausea medication can be added to the infusion.
Patients often report noticing improved eyesight first – colors are brighter, it’s easier to read small font. Next, they notice increased clarity of thought, attention, and concentration. Mood symptoms improve. By the 3rd or 4th infusion, many people find they simply do not crave substances to which they had formerly been addicted, such as benzodiazepines, opioids, painkillers, and other medications.
After the 10-day protocol, most people are highly satisfied with their new level of health and well-being. Some people choose to return for a “refresher” infusion or 2 in 6 to 12 months.
