Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide has two forms: one active and one inactive. In its active form, it is known as NAD+, and in its inactive form, it is known as NADH.
Scientists first discovered NAD+ and started studying its benefits in the early 1900s, but only in recent years are we beginning to understand its full potential.
Because of the role it plays in so many different biological processes, scientists and doctors are now looking at different ways it can be used to maintain healthy organs and neurological systems in human patients.
NAD+ is what’s called a “helper molecule” because it binds to other enzymes in the body to activate them and generate molecular reactions. For example, proteins called “sirtuins,” which are responsible for carrying out many biological processes within the human body, require NAD to function properly.
Each patch is roughly equivalent to receiving 700mg NAD+ via IV
CELLULAR HEALTH
Brain health is key to feeling youthful and new research has discovered that NAD is an essential component to promoting cellular repair.
Replenishing cellular levels of NAD can:
- Repair DNA
- Protect brain cells from damage
- Repair/lengthen telemeres
- Reduce inflammation
- Turn on enzymes that help prevent aging
ANXIETY
Everyday living can itself be incredibly stressful and healing the brain from this stress is a constant, daily battle for many. Anxiety is often caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain.
Low GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), serotonin and dopamine levels lead to anxiety. NAD helps re-establish the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, allowing patients suffering from anxiety to be freed from it.
DEPRESSION
Suffering from depression can be overwhelming, especially when you’ve tried a variety of medications with little to no resolve. NAD therapy may be able to help. Studies have shown that 93% depression patients show improvements when taking NAD therapy.
Published by New Trends in Clinical Neuropharmacology, the study shows promising results from this study consisting of 205 patients suffering from depression.
CHRONIC-PAIN
Many people suffer from chronic pain ranging anywhere from intermittent and mild to persistent and severely debilitating. There are several underlying causes for chronic pain including normal aging, inflammatory and degenerative processes, or due to diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus or AIDS.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
TBI is easily one of the most devastating injuries experienced by anyone and can result in impaired cognition. Several studies have shown the cell-death experienced due to TBI results in NAD depletion and, subsequently, energy failure.
Studies have shown the prevention of brain cell death when using NAD therapy.
CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME
Chronic conditions affect a huge portion of the nation, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Improving on many these chronic illnesses and reducing their effects includes the healthy activity of each cell in your body.
NAD therapy can help reduce the symptoms in those suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and may assist in helping patients regain their vitality and strength.
CTE
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive degenerative disease caused by repetitive injuries to the brain occurring over a period of time.
Many of the symptoms associated with CTE are also found in neurodegenerative disorders and aging, which include cognitive factors such as impaired concentration, memory and language.
In CTE, there are holes in the brain, dead areas or areas where abnormal plaques develop.
In all aging brains, lack of NAD seems to promote neurons to go “off-line”. Even though the brain cells are present, they don’t conduct electrical impulses as efficiently and stop reaching out to other brain cells, thus resulting in impaired brain function.
NAD encourages new connections in the brain and the connections may bypass injured or non-functional areas of the brain; resulting in increased senses and clarity of thoughts.
LYME DISEASE
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection primarily transmitted by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks, and on the West Coast, black-legged ticks.
Common Symptoms of Lyme Disease:
- Fatigue
- Cognitive impairment
- Joint pain
- Poor sleep
- Mood problems
- Muscle pain
If you have an adhesive allergy (Or just prefer Intravenous NAD+), then NAD+ is available by IV. 3000mg total by IV is considered the “loading dose” which translates to six(6) 500mg Drips, four(4) 800mg drips or three(3) 1000mg drips.
