What is NAD+
Peptide Center

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, and overall cellular health. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, leading to fatigue, cognitive decline, and metabolic dysfunction.
How Does NAD+ Work?
NAD+ works by facilitating cellular energy production and repair through two key functions:
1. Supports ATP Production (Energy Generation)
• NAD+ is essential for mitochondria, the powerhouse of cells, to convert food into energy (ATP).
• Without sufficient NAD+, fatigue and decreased metabolism occur.
2. Activates Sirtuins (Longevity Proteins)
• Sirtuins are proteins that help regulate DNA repair, inflammation, and aging processes.
• NAD+ activates sirtuins, promoting anti-aging benefits and cellular health.
Key Benefits of NAD+
1. Boosts Energy & Metabolism
• Supports ATP production, reducing fatigue.
• Enhances cellular function and endurance.
2. Improves Brain Function & Mental Clarity
• Helps repair neurons and synapses, improving memory and cognitive performance.
• May protect against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
3. Supports Anti-Aging & DNA Repair
• Reduces cellular damage caused by aging.
• Activates sirtuins, which help repair DNA and extend lifespan.
4. Enhances Muscle Recovery & Performance
• Increases muscle endurance and reduces inflammation.
• May help athletes and active individuals recover faster.
5. Improves Metabolic Health & Fat Loss
• Regulates insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels.
• Supports weight management by enhancing fat oxidation.
6. Strengthens the Immune System
• Helps fight inflammation and oxidative stress.
• Plays a role in preventing chronic diseases.
How is NAD+ Supplemented?
• Injection Direct NAD+ infusion into the bloodstream.
• NAD+ Precursors (Oral Supplements) – Includes NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside), which convert into NAD+ inside the body.
• Sublingual & Nasal Sprays – Faster absorption than oral capsules.
Potential Side Effects of NAD+ Therapy
• Mild flushing or nausea (especially with IV therapy).
• Temporary fatigue or headache (as cells adjust to increased energy production)
