NAD+ Explained
What is NAD+
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular health. As you age, your NAD+ levels naturally decline—by your 40s, you may have only half the NAD+ you had in your 20s. This decline is linked to fatigue, slower metabolism, brain fog, and visible signs of aging.
How long does it take?
NAD+ works with your body's cellular energy systems to support overall vitality. Most people notice changes within 2-4 weeks, though benefits deepen with continued use. Consistency is key, so stick with it.
1-2 weeks — Initial improvements in energy levels and mental clarity as NAD+ supports mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism. Some notice better sleep quality and reduced brain fog.
1-3 months — Sustained energy throughout the day, improved focus, and enhanced physical recovery. Many report feeling more resilient to daily stressors and fatigue.
3+ months — Cumulative benefits to cellular health, including support for healthy aging processes. Optimal results are maintained with ongoing supplementation.
How does it work?
NAD+ therapy replenishes your body's NAD+ levels through supplementation, helping restore cellular function from the inside out. By boosting NAD+, you're essentially giving your cells the fuel they need to produce energy more efficiently, repair damage, and function at their best. Think of it as recharging your cellular batteries—you're not adding something foreign, you're restoring what time has taken away.
What are the side effects?
NAD+ is a coenzyme naturally present in every cell of your body with a well-established safety profile. Side effects are uncommon and typically mild.
Common (if any):
- Mild flushing or warmth during or after injection
- Slight nausea that resolves quickly
- Temporary lightheadedness
Less common:
- Mild headache that typically subsides within a few hours
- Minor discomfort at the injection site
Good to know:
- Start with a lower dose to assess tolerance, especially if new to NAD+ therapy
- Stay well-hydrated before and after injections to minimize flushing
- Individuals taking medications that affect blood pressure should consult their physician before starting NAD+
Who is NAD+ for?
NAD+ therapy is ideal for anyone looking to support healthy aging, boost energy levels, improve mental clarity, and enhance overall vitality. Whether you're noticing the effects of aging, struggling with low energy, or simply want to optimize your healthspan, NAD+ can help you feel more like yourself again.
