NAD Theraphy
What is NAD, and why does our body need NAD?
NAD, or “Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide,” is a naturally occurring enzyme in our body that helps cells produce energy. NAD deficiency, like the lack of oxygen and glucose, can lead to cell death.
Its function is to convert the energy we get from food into cellular energy, or it can be summarized as transporting raw materials for energy to cells. If NAD is present, vitality exists, which means there is ready power for energy expenditure. The NAD in the body combines with the energy from external food to become NADH. As you consume frequent and high-calorie foods, the amount of free-roaming NAD decreases or depletes, and NADH increases. This leads to weight gain, fat accumulation, and obesity.
One of the conditions that most activates longevity genes is fasting. NAD levels increase during fasting. Similarly, it is activated by low-calorie diets. To increase NAD, the first requirement is to consume fewer calories. Next is exercising. When energy is needed during exercise, the version that carries food in the form of NADH shifts to NAD, increasing its presence.
The presence of NAD supports the cellular portion of all regenerative and anti-aging activities in the body.
In cases of NAD deficiency in the body or reduced numbers due to the conversion of NADH, providing lab-produced NAD contributes significantly to various conditions, including obesity, diabetes, mental health, vascular and nervous system diseases, post-traumatic recoveries, reducing liver damage in substance use, and ultimately increasing the cell’s resistance to disease by increasing cellular energy levels and strengthening the body’s defense mechanisms.
NAD presence also increases serotonin levels, which are vital for mental regulation and helps alleviate depression and anxiety symptoms.
NAD is beneficial for individuals undergoing substance addiction treatment. It reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, provides energy to the body, and accelerates brain regeneration.
Furthermore, NAD plays a significant role in delaying the aging process.
The body naturally produces NAD, but the general level decreases over time. In such cases, ready-made NAD is administered intravenously in a therapy format. The typical procedure consists of one session per week, with a total of four sessions deemed sufficient.
