Introduction
NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is an essential coenzyme in regulating metabolism, longevity, DNA repair, and the immune system. A deregulation of NAD+ levels is associated with signs of aging, metabolic diseases, neurodegeneration, and cancer.
In the evolving landscape of regenerative medicine, NAD+ has emerged as a critical component in the pursuit of cellular health and longevity. At GLOBAL MED, we've incorporated this powerful molecule into our IV therapy protocols after extensive research into its remarkable benefits.
What Exactly Is NAD+?
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body that plays a fundamental role in cellular metabolism. As a critical component in the electron transport chain, NAD+ helps convert the food you eat into the energy your cells need to function optimally. Beyond energy production, NAD+ is essential for:
- DNA repair and maintenance
- Gene expression regulation
- Cellular signaling
- Immune system function
- Circadian rhythm regulation
Unfortunately, NAD+ levels decline significantly as we age—dropping by up to 50% between ages 40 and 60. This decline correlates with many age-associated health challenges and decreased cellular efficiency.
The Benefits of IV NAD+ Therapy
While oral NAD+ precursors exist (such as NMN and NR supplements), their bioavailability remains limited due to digestive breakdown. IV administration bypasses these limitations, delivering NAD+ directly to your bloodstream for maximum cellular uptake.
Our patients report numerous benefits from NAD+ therapy:
- Enhanced Energy Production: Many experience a noticeable increase in sustained energy without the crash associated with stimulants or caffeine.
- Cognitive Clarity: Improved mental sharpness, focus, and memory function are commonly reported benefits.
- Accelerated Recovery: Athletes and active individuals note faster recovery times between workouts or following injuries.
- Cellular Rejuvenation: NAD+ supports mitochondrial function and cellular repair mechanisms that are essential for overall health.
- Metabolic Support: By optimizing cellular energy production, NAD+ helps support healthy metabolic function.
NAD+ in Our Surgical Recovery Protocol
Our Surgical Wound & Recovery IV Protocol features NAD+ at a therapeutic dose of 250mg in both pre- and post-operative treatments. This strategic inclusion helps:
- Prepare cells for the metabolic demands of surgical recovery by optimizing energy production systems
- Support the repair processes necessary for wound healing and tissue regeneration
- Mitigate cellular stress from anesthesia and surgical trauma
- Enhance detoxification of medications and anesthetic agents
The inclusion of NAD+ alongside other synergistic compounds like glutathione creates a comprehensive approach to surgical recovery that addresses cellular health at its foundation.
