What is NAD+?

Coined the “miracle molecule” by leading researchers in the wellness & longevity space, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) can help your body function at a higher level at any age. NAD+ is a critical coenzyme found in every cell of your body, helping to turn food into energy and support critical functions like:

• Repairing DNA
• Enhancing Mental Clarity & Improving Focus
• Enhancing Metabolism & Weight Management
• Improving Sleep Quality
• Improving Athletic Recovery & Performance
• Boosting & Maintaining Energy Levels
• Regulating Dopamine & Serotonin Levels
• Stabilizing Hormones

As we age, particularly after the age of 35, your NAD+ levels drop, leading to lower energy, reduced recovery rates and increased signs of aging. By boosting NAD levels through IV therapy, IM injections, and supplements, clients frequently experience improvements in many of the previously mentioned symptoms, and they often come back to tell us about the difference it's made in their lives.

How does NAD+ help my body?

NAD+ can be delivered through various methods, including intravenous infusion, injection,
or supplementation, all of which support your body's ability to repair and regenerate cells.
Much like a team of construction workers, NAD+ can be highly effective for clients dealing
with:

• Inflammation
• Joint & Muscle Pain
• Brain Fog / Low Mood
• Weight Gain

NAD+ works by stimulating sirtuins (proteins)& exciting mitochondria through a process called cellular respiration. By accepting & processing electrons (remember the Krebs Cycle from High School Biology?) NAD+ is a coenzyme that is essential in the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) powering various cellular activities, releasing carbon dioxide and water as by products. This process enhances oxidative phosphorylation, reduces oxidative stress (helping protect your mitochondria), and stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis, all of which improve overall cellular capacity and function.

Why is IV NAD+ the best method of delivery?

NAD+ IV (Intravenous) Therapy is a method of delivering vitamins and molecules directly into the bloodstream. While there are various ways to administer NAD+, IV infusions ensure 100% bioavailability of the molecule. This maximizes your body's ability to absorb this essential coenzyme, leading to compounded benefits. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system and be processed by the liver, intravenous (IV) delivery guarantees that your investment in NAD+ is fully optimized. In other words, it's the best "Bang for your Buck"! 

Why can't I just take NAD+ by mouth?

You can, but NAD+ is not effectively absorbed in the GI (gastrointestinal) tract. There are precursors, (such as NR & NMN) that have been shown to boost NAD+ levels within the cell. However, intravenous adminstration of NAD+ is the most effective means of boosting NAD+ levels.

Why should I get NAD+ at Onus?

As Colorado's first IV clinic, we've built our reputation on delivering the highest quality alternative wellness treatments that follow ER protocols. This is done exclusively by ER(emergency room) nurses with at least two years of experience in the ER. From a client's perspective, this ensures peace of mind knowing that the registered nurse overseeing their treatment is not only skilled in providing care but is also highly knowledgeable about IV therapy and its numerous benefits. 

In addition to our stellar team of ER nurses and Nurse Practitioners overseeing your care, we offer NAD+ Intramuscular injections and supplements that enhance and compound the effectiveness of our NAD+ protocols. Members enjoy special discounts and complimentary access to our telehealth providers, providing clients with the confidence to seek the treatments that they need.

Why is NAD+ becoming so popular?

There are many reasons clients from across the country are turning to NAD+ treatments at Onus IV Therapy + Longevity (yes, we've had clients fly in from other states for our treatment!). Popular wellness and lifestyle podcasts, like The Joe Rogan Experience and The Huberman Lab Podcast, have helped raise awareness about the transformative benefits of NAD+ and its potential to improve lives.

These benefits include:
 

Reduced Joint & Muscle Pain

Inflammation is the body’s way of trapping toxins and healing damaged tissues. By activating sirtuins, your body can regulate inflammation and cellular repair. SIRT1 is directly activated by NAD+ availability, meaning your body can process and repair chronic inflammation more efficiently. 

Mental Clarity & Brain Fog

Brain fog and cognitive decline are often related to oxidative damage and/or chronic inflammation, both of which NAD+ can help address by neutralizing free radicals and reducing neuroinflammation. As NAD+ activates PARPs (Poly ADP-Ribose Polmerases), it aids in DNA repair & helps extend neuronal lifespan. Numerous clients at Onus IV Therapy & Longevity have reported improved mental clarity, particularly at ages above 55+.

Metabolism

NAD+ plays a key role in converting nutrients, particularly glucose, into ATP, which is like the "Energy Currency" of our cells. Without NAD+, our metabolic pathways become less efficient, leading to reduced energy production for vital cellular functions. Additionally, NAD+ also aids in fat oxidation and helps to regulate blood sugar levels. 

Sleep Quality

As NAD+ IV Therapy in Denver helps stabilize hormones, Melatonin, aka "The Sleep Hormone" benefits from NAD+-dependent enzymes. By ensuring that melatonin is released at the right time in our circadian rhythm (remember to put your smartphone down at least an hour before bedtime), NAD+ helps ensure your sleep quality is on track and in tune with your body needs.

Improved Athletic Recovery & Performance

Similar to how NAD+ activates sirtuins to regulate inflammation & cellular repair, higher levels of NAD+ can boost endurance, stamina and strength. This leads to better physical  performance and faster recovery times for muscle repair. NAD+ achieves this by enhancing protein synthesis, paving the way for mitochondrial biogenesis, which enhances muscle output and power! For clients and visitors coming to Denver, Colorado, an NAD+ IV drip could be the perfect way to maximize your fun in the Rocky Mountains! 

Boost & Maintain Energy Levels

When it comes to vascular function, NAD+ pays the toll for the express lane. By improving blood flow and vascular health, it ensures that your muscles get the oxygen needed for performance, along with the essential nutrients for maintaining and rebuilding muscle fibers.

Regulate Dopamine & Seratonin Levels

Fun Fact: Your brain uses the most energy of any organ in your body! From processing information and controlling movement to regulating bodily function, your brain has the highest metabolic demand, and relies on Glucose for fuel. NAD+ is responsible for converting glucose (again the Krebs Cycle from High School Biology) into ATP, which is your brain's primary energy source. NAD+ powers your brain by fueling key enzymatic reactions. It helps maintain your mitochondrial health- especially in neurons that produce dopamine and serotonin.

Stabilize Hormones

As we've seen above, NAD+ is responsible for a variety of critical functions, and when it comes to stabilizing your hormones, it really ties everything together. By ensuring your cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function and enzymatic processes are on-point, NAD+ helps your hormones maintain a better balance in their workload.
