Everything You Need to Know About NAD+

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), also known as ‘NAD Plus,’ was first discovered in 1906, and since then, our understanding of its importance has significantly advanced. Recently, NAD+ has gained attention in scientific research due to its essential role in many biological functions.

So, what exactly does NAD+ do? It is a critical molecule found in all living organisms, from single-celled organisms to humans. Acting like a ‘shuttle bus,’ NAD+ transfers electrons between molecules within cells to power essential reactions and processes that generate cellular energy, or ATP. NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell and is involved in hundreds of metabolic processes, including energy production and maintaining mitochondrial health.

You may wonder about the difference between NADH and NAD+. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide has two forms: active and inactive. In its active form, it is NAD+, and in its inactive form, it is NADH. NAD+ and NADH work as a redox couple—NADH is reduced while NAD+ is oxidised. In simple terms, NAD+ is the oxidised version of NADH.

An optimal ratio of NAD+ to NADH is crucial for good health. A higher NAD+ to NADH ratio is generally preferable, as a low ratio is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and accelerated ageing. Over time, NADH levels tend to increase while NAD+ levels decline. As we age, our NAD+ levels decrease at cellular, tissue, and organ levels, and the immune system consumes more NAD+ to fuel its activity, further depleting these levels.

What Are the Benefits of NAD+?

Some of the key benefits of NAD+ include:

Supporting biological processes such as gene expression, energy extraction from nutrients, and DNA repair
Slowing cognitive decline
Combating chronic fatigue
Increasing energy levels
Boosting metabolism
Promoting cell regeneration and anti-ageing effects
Slowing the ageing process
Reducing internal inflammation
One of the most exciting aspects of NAD+ IV therapy is that it can benefit almost anyone. If you experience low energy, chronic fatigue, or brain fog, you could be a great candidate for NAD+ IV therapy. Replenishing your NAD+ levels may significantly improve these symptoms.

NAD+ offers a range of benefits, from improving mental clarity to providing anti-ageing solutions. Whether you're looking for help with brain fog or seeking anti-ageing remedies, NAD+ might be just what you need. At Vitamin Clinics, you can receive NAD+ as an IV Drip or as a subcutaneous (SC) injection, available at all clinics or through our mobile services.
