NAD +

What is NAD+:

Remember back to those boring high school chemistry classes and the Krebs cycle, the way other cells use energy, this is the key part of that cycle. NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring substance found in every cell of your body. It plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair and maintaining healthy cell function. As we age NAD+ levels naturally decline leading to fatigue, cognitive decline, slower recovery, and other signs of aging. NAD+ therapy helps replenish and restore these levels promoting overall wellness.

What issues does NAD+ address:

Fatigue: NAD+ therapy is for anyone looking to increase energy, improve mental clarity, and support overall well-being. Whether you're an athlete, a busy professional, or simply want to feel more useful and energized, NAD+ is an effective tool for boosting your vitality.

Cardiovascular Health: elevated NAD+ levels have been associated with improved heart function and reduced risk of heart disease

Cellular Energy Boost: NAD+ is essential for cellular energy production, improving overall vitality.

DNA Repair: it supports DNA repair mechanisms, reducing the risk of age related diseases.

Neurological Health: NAD+ enhances cognitive function, memory, and mood.

Anti-Aging Effects: by promoting cellular health and reducing oxidative stress, NAD+ can help slow down certain aging processes, promoting longevity and vitality.

Reduced Stress and Anxiety: chronic stress can impair sexual function and desire. NAD+ therapy helps manage stress by supporting the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which promote relaxation and a sense of well-being. This can help reduce anxiety around intimacy, allowing for a more fulfilling sexual experience.

Sexual Health: NAD+ increases energy and stamina, enhances libido and desire, improves circulation and sensitivity, helps with hormonal balance and emotional well-being.

Metabolic Function: NAD+ plays a role in regulating metabolism, and supplementation may enhance metabolic processes, potentially aiding in weight management and energy production.

Tolerance to NAD+ High Dose

Just like everything there is too much of a good thing. We do not use high dose NAD+ so you do not have to worry about the warnings you see on social media. Just like caffeine, you can become tolerant to the effects of NAD+. To deal with this challenge we cycle NAD+. The vial generally lasts about seven weeks and we suggest either going seven weeks on and seven weeks off, or doing some variation of a cycle that is no longer than two months with the same amount of time on as off. This way, you will continue to enjoy the positive effects of NAD+ while reducing any potential side effects or reducing your tolerance. You will not have to add additional supplements to counter burn out in your body.

Possible Side Effects of NAD+ supplementation include:

• Muscle pain
• Nervous disorders: Such as anxiety and nervousness
• Increased fatigue has been observed in some individuals
• Changes in sleep patterns, including insomnia, have been noted
• Headaches: headaches are frequently reported side effect, usually short-lived

Contraindications:

Please let Dr. Iannitelli know if you have any of these conditions:

• Pregnant or breast-feeding
• Liver disease: a history of liver disease, including Johnice or chronic liver failure
• Kidney disease: if you have notably impaired kidney function you should avoid NAD+
• Active peptic ulcer disease
• Recent myocardial infarction
• Hypotension
• Genetic skin cancer syndromes
• Metastatic cancer or invasive melanoma: If you have a history of metastatic cancer or invasive melanoma

NAD+ supplementation offers promising benefits in areas such as neuroprotection, cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and anti-aging
