What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a crucial molecule naturally present in all living cells, vital for energy production, DNA repair, brain function, and metabolism. Age, chronic illnesses, stress, and lifestyle factors reduce NAD+ levels, potentially causing fatigue, cognitive issues, mood disturbances, and impaired overall health.
At Apotheosis Health, we primarily provide NAD+ through subcutaneous injections—a quick and convenient method. IV infusions are also available; please contact us directly for further details, as these require additional education, preparation, and time.
What are the benefits of NAD+ Therapy?
Chronic Illness: Lyme Disease, Autoimmune Conditions & Fibromyalgia
NAD+ aids these conditions by:
- Boosting mitochondrial energy production, reducing chronic fatigue [1].
- Decreasing inflammation, a major symptom driver in autoimmune disorders [2]
- Enhancing detoxification, essential for recovery from chronic infections like Lyme disease [2].
Mental Health & Addiction Recovery
Mental health support through NAD+ involves:
- Increasing essential neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine), improving mood and anxiety [3].
- Reducing brain fog and enhancing cognitive clarity by boosting brain cell energy production [3].
- Easing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, promoting successful addiction recovery [4].
Cardiovascular Health
NAD+ supports cardiovascular health by:
- Improving mitochondrial function in heart cells, thus enhancing cardiac efficiency and reducing oxidative stress.
- Promoting healthy vascular function and circulation, potentially reducing risks associated with heart disease [5].
Metabolic Health & Weight Management
Metabolic benefits of NAD+ include:
- Boosting metabolism through improved mitochondrial function, aiding weight management.
- Enhancing insulin sensitivity, potentially helping manage conditions like metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes [5].
Neurodegenerative Conditions (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s)
Potential neuroprotective benefits from NAD+:
- Supporting neuronal health by reducing oxidative damage and inflammation associated with conditions like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
- Enhancing DNA repair and cellular resilience in brain cells, potentially slowing disease progression [3].
Sports Performance & Recovery
For athletes, NAD+ injections:
- Enhance cellular energy, boosting endurance and performance.
- Accelerate recovery by reducing inflammation and muscle soreness post-exercise.
- Aid tissue repair, helping athletes quickly recover from intense physical activity [5].
General Wellness & Anti-Aging
Overall benefits of maintaining optimal NAD+ levels:
- Increased energy and vitality through improved mitochondrial function.
- Improved cognitive abilities, memory, and focus.
- Activation of longevity-associated proteins (sirtuins) to promote healthy aging and cellular repair [5].
