What Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?
NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It is a molecule found in every cell of your body and is required for cells to produce energy. Without NAD+, your cells cannot function efficiently.
Why Do NAD+ Levels Decrease?
NAD+ levels naturally decline due to:
- Aging
- Chronic stress
- Inflammation
- Metabolic conditions
- Poor sleep and lifestyle factors
Lower NAD+ levels may affect how efficiently your cells produce energy and repair themselves.
What Is NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ therapy involves supplementing the body with NAD+ through medically supervised injections. This approach allows NAD+ to be delivered directly into the body, supporting cellular processes involved in energy production and metabolic function.
What Does NAD+ Therapy Help With?
People commonly seek NAD+ therapy to support:
- Energy and endurance
- Mental clarity and concentration
- Wellness and longevity goals
- Metabolic health
- Weight management programs
NAD+ therapy works best when combined with healthy nutrition, physical activity, and medical guidance.
How Is NAD+ Different From Vitamins or Supplements?
Unlike oral supplements that must pass through digestion, NAD+ injections are administered under medical supervision and are designed to support cellular processes more directly.
Is NAD+ Therapy Safe?
When prescribed by a qualified medical provider and used appropriately, NAD+ therapy is generally well tolerated. A medical evaluation is required to ensure it is appropriate for you.
How Often Is NAD+ Therapy Used?
The frequency and dosing depend on individual health goals, tolerance, and provider recommendations. Your provider will create a plan tailored to your needs.
Do I Need to Come Into the Office?
NAD+ therapy at FitFocus MD requires:
- An in-person visit or
- A live telemedicine video consultation
Your provider will guide you on next steps based on your visit.
Is NAD+ Therapy the Same as Anti-Aging Treatment?
NAD+ therapy supports cellular processes that are associated with healthy aging, energy production, and metabolic health. It is best described as cellular wellness support, rather than a cosmetic or anti-aging procedure.
How Do I Get Started?
Getting started is simple:
- Schedule a consultation with FitFocus MD
- Complete a medical intake
- Meet with a provider (in person or video)
