As we age, a coenzyme found in every living cell called NAD+ naturally declines. This molecule binds with other enzymes to help trigger molecular reactions throughout the body, making it an important part of an optimized body. NAD+ Therapy in Cincinnati helps to replenish the diminished levels and helps to optimize healthy living. NAD+ Therapy can help with many effects of aging & chronic conditions.
Rejuvenate and Optimize
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a crucial coenzyme of vitamin B3 (niacin) which can be found in every cell in your body. NAD+ is required for your cells to function. It serves two main functions, turns nutrients into energy & serves as a helper in regulating other cellular functions such as DNA repair.
NAD+ levels progressively decline with age. Common aspects of aging, such as oxidative stress, decline in mitochondrial production, and the inflammatory response, can all lead to decreases in NAD+ levels. Other factors that decrease NAD+ levels include:
- Poor nutrition
- Alcohol consumption
- Excessive sun exposure
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Toxic exposure
How Does NAD+ Therapy Work?
NAD+ Therapy can improve several health conditions or can be used as part of a healthy living protocol. NAD+ works by encouraging ATP production by the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell that generates energy.) Several conditions are associated with the decline of ATP production/mitochondrial function including: neurological diseases, insulin resistance, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, decline in cognition/memory, chronic fatigue, inflammatory conditions or any chronic disease. This therapy increases the supply of NAD+ and helps to promote every natural process that relies on this coenzyme.
Getting Started with NAD+ Therapy
We offer NAD+ Therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio via intramuscular therapy (IM) in office or at home and via patch therapy. Our IM therapy is administered via a shot into the upper arm, thigh or buttocks. A series of several injections over an extended period of time helps your body adequately adjust. NAD+ Patches or NAD+ injections are available for at home use, this type of therapy has become very popular for those with a busier schedule.
Immediately following your injection you may feel more calm or energized. Some report feeling tired or sore after their initial NAD+ sessions, this is normal and can be attributed to your body’s need for NAD+!

Why is NAD+ Important as We Age?
NAD+ is crucial for healthy functioning cells but declines naturally with age. NAD+ is responsible for turning nutrients into energy and helps to regulate other cellular functions like DNA repair. Replenishing lost NAD+ can help improve your cellular function.
