NAD+ Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is a form of Vitamin B3 (Niacin). This coenzyme is found in the mitochondria of all living cells. This coenzyme is heavily involved in DNA repair and cellular remodeling. It has been known to “ turn off” those genes that accelerate degenerative aging and is essential for maintaining neurotransmitter levels for the proper functioning of the brain. It is key in cellular metabolism. As we age, our NAD levels decrease making us less able to repair cellular damage. We begin to lose energy, appear older and have decreased brain function. NAD+ plays a significant role in anti-aging. With NAD+ IV therapy and the NAD+ IM/SQ Shot, the molecule works rapidly to repair cells throughout the body and neurons in the brain. It serves as a catalyst in ultimate brain restoration which assists in overcoming depression, anxiety, and common mood disorders. Restoring and supplementing NAD+ in the body may improve physical appearance, health, and quality of life.
Supplementation of NAD+ can:
- increase energy levels
- enhance mood & mental clarity
- reverse the visible effects of aging
- reduce fatigue
- restore muscle function and athletic performance
- restore brain chemistry and neurotransmitter function
- prevent & correct damage to DNA
- regulate inflammation that damages DNA
- improve physical appearance, health, and quality of life
- aid in recovering from alcohol and drug addiction, reducing the likelihood of relapse.
What are the side effects of NAD therapy?
Before receiving any type of injection therapy, it’s essential to understand what side effects accompany the many benefits. While safe for most patients, the most common side effects include:
- Nausea
- Brain fog
- Redness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection site
- Bruising at the injection site
- Infection at the injection site (rare)
- Phlebitis (rare)
- Headaches/Sinus Pressure
- Anxiety
- Fatigue
- Abdominal pain/cramping
- Diarrhea
What are contraindications of NAD?

- History of any form of Cancer
- Significant family history of Cancer
- Cardiovascular - Congestive Heart Failure, multi medicated Hypertension, Arrhythmias
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
