NAD+ is another anti-aging molecule.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a crucial coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a vital role in many biological processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and this decline has been linked to various age-related diseases and health issues, such as neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disorders, and a general decline in cellular function.
NAD+ infusions, also known as NAD+ IV therapy, involve the intravenous administration of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream. This method bypasses the digestive system, allowing for quicker absorption and higher bioavailability of NAD+ in the body. NAD+ infusions have gained popularity as a potential anti-aging therapy, with proponents claiming it can help restore cellular function, improve energy levels, and slow down the aging process.
Some potential benefits of NAD+ infusions for aging include:
Improved cellular function: Restoring NAD+ levels in the body may help improve cellular function, including energy metabolism and cellular repair processes, leading to better overall health and vitality.
Enhanced mitochondrial function: NAD+ is essential for the proper functioning of mitochondria, the cell's energy-producing structures. Improved mitochondrial function can lead to increased energy production and reduced oxidative stress, which are both beneficial for overall health and aging.
DNA repair: NAD+ is involved in the process of DNA repair, and maintaining optimal NAD+ levels may help protect the body against DNA damage that accumulates with age, reducing the risk of age-related diseases and cellular damage.
Neuroprotection: Some studies suggest that NAD+ may have neuroprotective effects, potentially slowing down the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

We partner with Ageless Aesthetics locally in Lakeland who can help with infusions of NAD+; we personally take this infusion every few months. NMN is a supplement and a precursor for NAD+ and can be taken daily at 1000mg as an oral supplement as well.
