NAD + IV Therapy

(Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)

GIVE YOUR CELLS AN ENERGY BOOST, AND THE ANTI-AGING BENEFITS OF NAD + IV THERAPY

What Is NAD+ IV Therapy ?

NAD+ is the active cofactor form of vitamin B3 (niacin) – a carrier molecule used by every cell in the body for energy metabolism. NAD+ is essential for cell viability and function.

We are born with a set amount of NAD+ but levels decline as we age. When NAD+ is depleted it causes “mitochondrial dysfunction” a condition that is linked to aging, as well as virtually all chronic diseases’.

NAD+ impacts DNA repair, epigenetic modifications, inflammation, circadian rhythm and stress resistance.

NAD+ is natural, restorative and protective.

HIGHEST QUALITY + PURITY

Dr. Shippy’s NAD+ + IV therapy includes 500 mg/ml of NAD+.

Please note that not all NAD+ is the same. We use only the highest quality NAD+ from Archway Apothecary, which has a purity of over 99%. Other NAD+ suppliers provide NAD+ of only 60% purity or less.

THE SCIENCE OF NAD+

Increasing NAD+ levels via IV therapy replenishes NAD at a cellular level – which helps to repair mitochondrial damage and prevent disease.

NAD+ is part of the cellular process in the body that makes ATP, or energy…it does this by stealing hydrogen from glucose molecules (remember the Krebs cycle – now called citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle).

When NAD+ is abundant (when we are young) NAD+ produces more energy – and keeps the cells from “slowing down” or aging.

NAD+ IV therapy helps restore NAD+ levels, for anti-aging as well as for chronic and acute disease management.

WHO SHOULD DO NAD+ IV THERAPY?

Anyone can benefit from NAD+ IV therapy, especially the aging, those suffering with age related disease, or a disease associated with oxidative stress. 

A number of studies show that oxidative stress from free radicals can induce DNA damage and cell death by causing intracellular NAD+ depletion. 

Free radical production can also occur as a result of exposure to environmental pollutants like heavy metals, certain medications, chemicals from foods or solvents, cooking (smoked meat, used oil, and fat), cigarette smoke, alcohol, and radiation.

When these toxic compounds enter the body, they are degraded or metabolized, and free radicals are generated as by-products. NAD+ IV replenishes NAD+ levels in the body which helps combat free radicals and oxidative stress that can lead to disease.

NAD+ IV therapy has been used as a treatment for drug and alcohol addictions in recovery settings. During these treatments, NAD+ was  found to be helpful with depressive, anxiety and other mood disorders.

NAD+ IV - What to expect

NAD+ IV Therapy can take anywhere from 2-5 hours, depending on how your body responds. The first time doing NAD+ is typically the longest, follow up treatments go faster as your body gets more accustomed to receiving the NAD+.

You may bring your laptop to work or enjoy a movie, or read a book while receiving your IV therapy.

combo - add pc to NAD+ iv

The NAD+ PC Combo gives you the benefits of both IVs in one visit. PC is given first, to clean or “prime” the cells for maximum absorption of NAD+. 

PC is given first, to clean or “prime” the cells and to prepare them for maximum absorption of the NAD+. Better absorption allows for the most potential benefits. The PC and NAD+ IV COMBO is more efficient and less expensive than doing each service separately. Read more about PC (Phosphatidylcholine) here.
