What Is NAD +
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a vital coenzyme that helps your body’s cells function properly. Think of NAD as a helper molecule that transfers energy between cells.
Found in every living cell, NAD is crucial for over 500 different bodily reactions.
It comes in two forms: NAD+ (oxidised) and NADH (reduced). Your body can make NAD from amino acids found in foods like turkey, chicken, and fish, or from supplements like niacin.
NAD was discovered by British scientists Arthur Harden and William John Young in 1906. It became more widely recognised in the 1960s when French scientist Pierre
Chambon uncovered a process called Poly ADP-ribosylation. This process showed that key proteins, like PARPs and sirtuins, need NAD+ to work. These proteins play a big role in repairing DNA and keeping your cells healthy and youthful.
Why do I need to increase my NAD+ levels?
NAD+ is critical for health and longevity, playing a role in metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression. It supports healthy ageing by activating sirtuin proteins, which
regulate cellular homeostasis and protect against age-related decay. Sirtuins, discovered in the 1970s, rely on NAD+ for activation, linking NAD+ directly to healthy
ageing.
- Supports Healthy Ageing: NAD+ activates sirtuin proteins, which protect against cellular decay.
- Enhances DNA Repair: NAD+ aids in repairing daily DNA damage and protects cells from stress.
- Improves Circadian Rhythm: NAD+ helps regulate sleep patterns, promoting better sleep and overall well-being.
- Boosts Energy and Cognitive Function: NAD+ therapy can increase energy levels and improve brain function.
- Enhances Exercise Performance: NAD+ increases glucose availability, allowing for longer, more efficient workout
Maintaining high NAD+ levels can be difficult with a busy lifestyle. Exercise, healthy eating and a consistent effective sleep routine all boost the natural production of NAD+.
At the same time stressors on your body adversely impact your NAD levels, alcohol consumption, poor sleep and diet and lack of exercise. Importantly, as you age your body produces less NAD.
We have partnered with Vaion, who supply our NAD+, and also a lower dose form of NAD+ supplementation. This is via a self-administered sub-cutaneous injection using a painless pen, everything required will be delivered to your home.
VAION+ Home NAD+ Injections
Unlike IV drips that deliver an immediate large dose of NAD+, the VAION+ PEN offers lower doses over a longer period. This innovative device allows for regular, painless
injections of NAD+, building and maintaining to your NAD+ levels.
Our doctors will advise IV treatment to rapidly boost your NAD+ levels and may recommend maintenance doses via the Vaion+ pen. They may also suggest moving straight to the Vaion solution. Your preference may also be determined by which approach you feel more convenient and comfortable.
