NAD plays a critical role in activating sirtuins, a family of proteins responsible for regulating cellular health. Sirtuins are key players in mitochondrial function, stress resistance, and inflammation modulation.
For individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), NAD can be a game-changer. CFS is characterized by persistent exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction.
COVID, a condition marked by symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and muscle weakness, has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation. NAD’s ability to enhance mitochondrial efficiency and reduce oxidative stress makes it a promising therapy accelerated recovery for those with COVID
Niagen, a clinically studied form of NR, offers a reliable way to boost NAD levels. Administered orally or through IV therapy, Niagen is well-tolerated and rapidly absorbed, making it an effective tool for enhancing longevity and addressing specific health challenges.
The direct contraindications for NAD therapy include an active cancer diagnosis, pregnancy, and lactation. For individuals with chronic kidney disease, treatment is subject to provider discretion
The IV administration of NAD is typically done in a loading dose fashion, involving 3-5 consecutive days of IV therapy, followed by maintenance doses every 2-4 weeks. Between IV sessions, patients are given oral nicotinamide riboside to sustain NAD levels and prevent declines.
