What if there was a compound that could turn back time, restore energy, improve athletic performance, bring back clarity of thought, reverse depression and help cure cravings for alcohol and drugs even in the most addicted individuals?
There is such a substance. It is called NAD+, and it occurs naturally in every cell in your body.
Compelling research has shown that supplementing with NAD+ may help you withdraw from addictive substances safely, overcome anxiety and depression, handle acute and chronic stress more effectively, and cope better with PTSD.
In fact, clinics across the US are starting to use IV infusions of NAD+ to help people withdraw from drug and alcohol addiction with minimal symptoms in as little as 7–14 days of treatment. These individuals report feeling calm and content and say they lost their “cravings” after a full course of treatment.
And NAD+ may actually prolong life, protect DNA, slow down aging and help restore function in neurodegenerative illness due to its effects on the genes that govern aging.
What happens as we go through life, drugs, alcohol, stress, medications, chronic illness and age all contribute to a decrease in our NAD+ stores. With NAD+ decline our energy declines. Cells aging accelerated.
By replenishing NAD+, we are working to reverse this process. Using IV infusion therapy we administer this anti-aging compound directly into your blood allowing your cells to use it as needed.
We recommend infusions of NAD+ for 3–14 consecutive days. This therapy also gets combined with amino acid infusions, minerals, and B-vitamins for full effect, tailored to your individual needs.
NAD+, Anti-Aging Molecule
Medical researchers have long known that a group of enzymes called SIRT play a huge role in how the body ages. SIRT enzymes appear to switch off genes that promote aging such as those that cause inflammation, fat synthesis and storage, and blood sugar management issues.
The very low-calorie diet was the only way we knew how to impact these SIRT enzymes positively to prolongs life.
However, recent research indicates that NAD+ plays a key role in the creation and activation of the SIRT.
Doctors out of the Department of Developmental Biology at the Washington University School of Medicine were the first to show this link in 2014.
“NAD(+) levels decline during the aging process and may be an Achilles’ heel, causing defects in nuclear and mitochondrial functions and resulting in many age-associated pathologies. Restoring NAD(+) by supplementing NAD(+) intermediates can dramatically ameliorate these age-associated functional defects, counteracting many diseases of aging, including neurodegenerative diseases.”

In 2016, the scientific journal Rejuvenation published an article where the authors discussed how low NAD+ levels are DIRECTLY associated with cellular aging, and they emphasized that this process can be prevented by increasing the levels of NAD+ within cells.
So is NAD+ a fountain of youth? It could be. More research needs to be done. But one thing seems clear: It certainly has an impact on your body at the cellular level, and it may just turn back the hands of time.
EXERCISE, ENDURANCE AND NAD+
Since ATP levels get depleted in muscles while exercising. However, until recently we didn’t know how NAD+ was implicated in this process.
A study done in 2010 a research was conducted using both trained and untrained healthy volunteers helped define the relationship between ATP diminishing and NAD+. The researchers showed that intense exercise decreases NAD+. When the study participants took an antioxidant supplement containing pycnogenol, which stimulates NAD+ production and protects it from turning into the inactive, oxidized form. As a result, NAD+ levels increased and exercise performance and “time to fatigue” also improved.
Using a direct IV infusion of NAD+ is certainly a more efficient way of raising NAD+ levels than taking an indirect, oral supplement that acts as a stimulator for NAD+. This leads us to believe that this IV can improve athletic performance, and it likely has a more pronounced effect than the study cited above.
Reversing Chronic Illness and Neurodegenerative Disease with NAD+
At the end of the day, health and energy production are intimately related. If your mitochondria aren’t functioning or they are producing too little energy, you are going to experience symptoms. When the problem becomes too severe it turns into illness.
The link between NAD+, energy production, and chronic illness is clear.
Low NAD+ a low ATP level depletes cell’s energy reserves – a cell death or illness.
Indeed, this may be one of the primary contributing factors to “mitochondrial dysfunction”, a condition we now know is implicated in a wide variety of chronic illnesses including autoimmune disorders, diabetes, and others.
Restoring NAD+ levels reverses this process and allows cells to return to full energy status, offering a possible way to undo mitochondrial damage and the resulting chronic illness.
Some of the conditions which may benefit from NAD+ infusion therapy include:
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Chronic Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Mitochondrial Dysfunction
