Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)

 NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NAD+ is a molecule found in every cell in the body that is used to power metabolism, construct new cellular components1, resist free radical and DNA damage and send signals within the cells. It enables the mitochondria – the ‘powerhouses of the cell’ to convert the food we eat into the energy our body needs to sustain all its functions. It is also required to “turn off” genes implicated in accelerating aging processes. • Healthy mitochondrial function, is an important component of healthy human aging. Our body naturally has the ability to make NAD+ from components in the food we eat. Research in laboratory animals and people shows that as we age, levels of NAD+ declines substantially. • This decline leaves us at greater risk for neuro and muscular degeneration, declines in our cardio-metabolic health and our capacity for repair and resiliency. Research suggests NAD+ is key to increasing the amount of time we spend in good health. • One of the major issue with drug addiction patients are low brain energy levels to think clearly resulting in mood alterations, distorted time and sensory perception, decreased memory, and solving problems. • NAD+ therapy has been clinically used since the 1960’s to help break free from chemical dependence. NAD+ is an all-natural, vitamin B derivative, with minimal side effects. NAD+ therapy has been observed clinically to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings in 90 percent of patients. Furthermore, over 90 percent these patients remained sober 12 months later and 20 months later. A statistic like this is impressive when compared to the conventional methods of detoxification and rehabilitation. • NAD+ treatments are performed in our outpatient infusion rooms. While each infusion session typically takes a full 3-4 hours, the duration of NAD+ treatment typically requires 10 (or more) sessions to ensure complete results. For treatment for a non-addiction disorder, such as stress or anxiety, your treatment course may be shorter, and is ultimately determined during your medical assessment
