NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ therapy is a new medical treatment that can help improve brain function and decrease symptoms associated with certain mood disorders. It works by using an alternative form of vitamin B3 called nicotinamide riboside, or niagen for short, to increase NAD+ levels in patients. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, is a naturally-occurring, vitamin-B3 coenzyme that is essential in helping the body produce the energy it needs. Without enough NAD+, the body may struggle to complete key biological processes, such as converting food into cellular energy, repairing damaged DNA, protecting cells from disease, and resetting the body’s internal clock.
Low NAD+ levels in the body have been linked to several health concerns and chronic illnesses, including:
- Diabetes
- Rapid Aging
- Heart Disease
- Vision Loss
- Alzheimer’s Disease
Reasons To Consider NAD+ Therapy
While the amount of NAD+ in the body decreases naturally over time, certain treatable conditions have been shown to accelerate this process, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Neurodegenerative Diseases
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Because NAD+ therapy works by helping the body restore NAD+ levels back to normal, it can be used as a valuable supplemental treatment for these and other conditions. NAD+ therapy can also help patients without any critical conditions achieve a healthier lifestyle. Healthy NAD+ levels have been shown to:
- Lower Risk Of Cancer
- Reverse Signs Of Aging
- Promote Healthy Muscle Development
- Treat Jet Lag
- Help Weight Loss
- Lower Risk Of Heart Disease
