NAD+ I.V. Therapy
Discover the Anti-Aging Benefits and Unlock Your Body’s Potential with NAD+ Therapy.
What happens to our body’s cells during the aging process?
During the body’s aging process, normal human cells have a limited capacity to divide before they stop and enter a state of senescence. This limit is determined by the length of telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division. When telomeres become too short, the cell can no longer replicate and may die or become dysfunctional.
What is NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)?
What are some of the potential benefits of receiving NAD+ I.V. treatments?
NAD+ is a key player in cellular respiration, the process that converts nutrients into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). By increasing NAD+ levels, cells may produce more ATP, leading to enhanced energy levels and improved cellular function.
DNA Repair and Protection
NAD+ is essential for DNA repair mechanisms, and higher NAD+ levels may promote more efficient repair of damaged DNA. This could potentially help reduce the risk of mutations and age-related cellular damage.
Anti-Aging Effects
Declining NAD+ levels have been associated with aging, and NAD+ therapy is being explored for its potential anti-aging effects. By supporting cellular health and function, NAD+ therapy may help slow down the aging process and improve overall well-being.
Neuroprotection
NAD+ plays a critical role in maintaining the health of neurons and supporting their function. Increasing NAD+ levels may help protect against neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive decline.
Mitochondrial Support
NAD+ is involved in maintaining healthy mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of the cells. Healthy mitochondria are crucial for overall cellular health and longevity.
Metabolic Support
NAD+ is involved in various metabolic pathways, including those related to glucose and lipid metabolism. NAD+ therapy may help regulate metabolic processes and potentially benefit individuals with metabolic disorders.
Cardiovascular Health
NAD+ therapy may positively impact cardiovascular health by promoting better blood vessel function and reducing oxidative stress.
What is the recommended number of NAD+ I.V. sessions?
The current understanding is that consistent replenishment over time could be necessary to maintain elevated NAD+ levels, given its rapid turnover rate in the body. The concept of “loading” and “maintenance” doses is prevalent in the NAD+ therapy literature. A study on NAD+ metabolism in humans indicated that NAD+ levels post-infusion return to baseline within days, suggesting the need for repeated dosing to achieve sustained benefits. This leads to the rationale that a 3-month period could be ideal for observing both immediate and more sustained effects of NAD+ therapy.
The Rationale Includes:
- Efficacy
A 3-month duration allows for sufficient time to observe meaningful improvements in cellular function, energy levels, and overall health outcomes. - Adaptation
The body needs time to adapt to and fully benefit from increased NAD+ levels. This period ensures optimal absorption and utilization at the cellular level. - Consistency
Regular treatments over a 3-month period help maintain steady NAD+ levels, promoting sustained health benefits and preventing relapses. - Comprehensive Care
This duration aligns with clinical guidelines for treating chronic conditions, providing a thorough and holistic approach to health improvement.
What type of NAD+ I.V. sessions and protocols are available through Elevate Medical Group?
Elevate Medical Group offers NAD+ I.V. protocols ranging from 6 sessions to 16 sessions, depending on the individual focus of NAD+ treatment.
NAD+ I.V. PROTCOLS INCLUDE:
Athletic Recovery Package
– 6 sessions over a 3-month period (6 sessions every 2 weeks for 3 months).
Anti-Aging Package
8 sessions over a 3-month period (4 weekly sessions first month, then sessions every 2 weeks for 2 months).
Chronic Fatigue Package
9 sessions over a 3-month period (6 weekly sessions for the first month and a half, then 1 session every other week for last month and a half).
Cognitive Enhancement Package
12 sessions over a 3-month period (12 weekly session for 3 months).
Monthly Maintenance Package
16 sessions over a 12-month period (4 weekly sessions during the first month, then 1 maintenance session monthly for 11 months).
What NAD+ I.V. options are available and how long does 1 session take?
Elevate Medical Group offers 2 options for NAD+ I.V. therapy, both are effective in their end goal of raising NAD+ levels but have different time requirements.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
A larger molecule that requires being broken down into smaller precursor molecules before it can pass through cell membranes and has a relatively short half-life in the body making it rapidly metabolized. For these reasons a slower infusion of time helps facilitate slower cellular uptake and improve the therapeutic effect. Additionally, high concentrations of large molecules like NAD+ can cause osmotic balance shifts and disrupt osmotic balance in blood vessels if administered too quickly causing infusion discomfort. Depending on NAD+ dosage infusion time can run 2-5 hours.
Niagen (Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride)
A pre-cursor molecule that is converted to active NAD+ and is a smaller molecule that can pass through cell membranes directly, requiring fewer steps to be converted to NAD+ and has significantly reduced infusion time. Depending on dosage NRC can be infusion time can run 30-60 minutes.
