NAD+
NAD and NAD+ occur naturally in the body. They play a major role in the chemical process of generating energy. NAD+ is likely the most crucial cofactor for enhancing mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are intracellular organelles (AKA “energy powerhouses”)
NAD+ can be administered via IV (intravenous), IM (intramuscular), or SC (subcutaneous) route. When administered IV, some research has demonstrated its ability to improve mental clarity, memory, concentration, and alertness.
Other Uses
Research has shown that NAD+ may have potential for fighting the effects of addiction. Excessive alcohol and drug use diminishes the amount of NAD naturally found in the body; by reintroducing it through NAD therapy, cravings and withdrawal effects may be reduced as a result. Additionally, NAD+ has been shown to boost serotonin, aiding with symptoms brought on by depression and anxiety.
