Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a vital cofactor present in all living cells, essential for a multitude of metabolic processes. It functions primarily as a carrier of electrons in redox reactions, crucial for the production and transfer of energy in cells. NAD+ is involved in key metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
Suggested Dosing:
NAD+ 200 mg/mL Injectable
SUBCUTANEOUS OR INTRAMUSCUL AR:
Inject 10 units (0.1 mL) subcutaneously or intramuscularly three times a week for 1 week
Inject 20 units (0.2 mL) three times weekly for 1 week
Inject 30 units (0.3 mL) three times weekly for 1 week
Inject 40 units (0.4 mL) three times weekly for 1 week
Then, inject 50 units (0.5 mL) three times weekly thereafter
Increase to optimal therapeutic dose with max 50 units (0.5 mL) three times weekly. Higher starting dose can be
considered if the patient is not NAD+ naïve. Inject in the morning on an empty stomach.
Beyond its metabolic roles, NAD+ is fundamental for DNA repair, cellular signaling, and gene expression regulation through its interaction with enzymes like sirtuins and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases. The decline in NAD+ levels with age is associated with various age-related diseases, highlighting its potential in interventions aimed at enhancing health and longevity.
Benefits Include:
* Promotes healthy brain function
* Slows cognitive decline
* Decreases chronic fatigue and boosts energy levels
* Regenerates the cells and enhances metabolism
* Slows aging and reduces body inflammation
MITOCHONDRIAL ENERGY PRODUCTION: NAD+ is an essential coenzyme in mitochondrial respiration, where it participates in the transfer of electrons during the electron transport chain. This process generates ATP, theprimary energy currency of cells. NAD+ acts as a crucial mediator in the conversion of nutrients into energy within the mitochondria. Maintaining optimal NAD+ levels is essential for efficient energy production and overall mitochondrial function.
MITOCHONDRIAL METABOLISM: NAD+ acts as a cofactor for enzymes that facilitate these processes. Adequate NAD+ levels are necessary for these metabolic pathways to operate effectively, supporting the production of energy and essential cellular building blocks.
NEUROPROTECTION: NAD+ has been implicated in various mechanisms of neuroprotection. It plays a role in maintaining the health and function of neurons, including the repair of damaged DNA in neurons, and promoting the production of neuroprotective factors. Some research suggests that boosting NAD+ levels may have neuroprotective effects and help mitigate the impact of neurodegenerative diseases.
AGING: NAD+ has garnered significant attention in the field of aging research. It is involved in regulating various processes associated with aging. NAD+ levels tend to decline with age, and this decline is thought to contribute to the aging process. Increasing levels of NAD+ can slow down aging.
