Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a compound found naturally in your body's cells. It's also available in supplement form. NAD, sometimes referred to by its other formats, NAD+ and NADH, is a key player in various cell functions, including helping to regulate your body's metabolic and inflammatory responses.

Because NAD levels naturally decline with age, researchers have hypothesized that NAD supplementation could improve symptoms of age-related conditions and metabolic disorders, promote muscle recovery, and more.

Could Reduce Premature Skin Aging

Another area where NAD supplementation may be beneficial is skin health.

NAD's anti-aging effects may help your body repair DNA. This could potentially help repair UV-damaged skin and prevent premature skin aging. Additionally, applying NAD topically has been shown to benefit skin conditions like psoriasis (which causes skin cells to multiply too quickly, causing a build-up of skin cells) by slowing down skin cell multiplication.

NAD supplementation's potential skin regenerative abilities need to be studied further before these treatments can be targeted to specific groups of people.

Potentially Supports Metabolic Health

Metabolic health—which describes your body's ability to regulate blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol levels, and more —could be improved by NAD in some ways.

Research shows that increased levels of NAD in the body seem to support health conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome. These conditions can increase your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

A small 2021 study of postmenopausal people with prediabetes who had excess weight or obesity found that taking 250 milligrams (mg) of NAD per day for 10 weeks improved insulin sensitivity.¹⁷ Other studies have found improvements in body composition, lipid levels, exercise capacity, and muscle composition with NAD supplementation.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme present in almost all cells in your body. It Powers Metabolic Processes and impacts a wide variety of systems including digestion, cognition and mental clarity, aging and overall energy levels.

As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decrease within our bodies. Habits such as overeating and excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to a decline in NAD+. Unfortunately, low levels of NAD+ have been linked to health issues like premature skin aging, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, and vision loss.

For most customers, results are seen immediately. NAD+ IV therapy when used in a series is an extremely efficient way to increase your bodies natural levels of NAD. 3-6 sessions are recommended for best results.
