NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a critical coenzyme essential for life. Its levels naturally decline with age and under conditions of metabolic stress. NAD+ therapy aims to replenish these levels, potentially boosting cellular energy production, supporting mitochondrial health, activating sirtuins (proteins linked to longevity), and aiding in DNA repair mechanisms. This therapy is sought for its potential to improve mental clarity, increase energy levels, enhance mood, and support overall vitality and anti-aging efforts.

NAD+ plays a central role in cellular metabolism as a key electron carrier in redox reactions, facilitating the conversion of nutrients into ATP, the cell’s primary energy currency. It is also a crucial substrate for several important enzymes, including sirtuins (which regulate cellular health, aging, and inflammation) and PARPs (Poly ADP-ribose polymerases, involved in DNA repair and genomic stability).

NAD+ therapy involves a slow infusion, typically administered over several hours, depending on the dosage and individual tolerance. The frequency and number of treatments are tailored to individual needs and goals, as determined by your Genesis Health Solutions provider. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort at the infusion site, flushing, mild nausea, light-headedness, or muscle cramping during the infusion; these effects are usually transient and can be managed by adjusting the infusion rate. NAD+ therapy is generally considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals after a proper health assessment.
