NAD Q & A

What is NAD?

NAD is short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a substance naturally present in all your cells. Your body needs NAD to ensure that cells function correctly, in particular, the mitochondria portion of cells that are responsible for energy metabolism.

When you’re young, your cells are full of NAD, which is why children so often seem to have unending reserves of energy. As your body ages, the levels of NAD in your cells decline, meaning the mitochondria can’t perform their role as effectively.

As a consequence, energy levels drop and you begin to notice the effects of the aging process. Research indicates links between failing mitochondria and serious health conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and heart disease.

What’s the best way to boost levels of NAD?

NAD oral supplements usually contain the inactive form of NAD, called NADH, which requires your body to convert into NAD+. The problem with supplements is that they are poorly absorbed, leading to a loss of a significant quantity of the active ingredient in oral NAD supplements. In contrast, intravenous (IV) infusion of NAD, which bypasses your digestive tract and delivers the NAD directly into your bloodstream. IV infusion enables 100% absorption of NAD+.

What can I expect from an IV NAD infusion session?

Receiving NAD IV therapy at Thrive Men’s Clinic involves spending a pleasant afternoon in the IV lounge. After the initial sharp poke as the IV needle goes into a vein, you simply lie back and relax while the NAD infusion feeds steadily into your bloodstream.

You can read a magazine, take a nap, use one of our iPads, or catch up with your emails. Once your session is over, you’re free to carry on with your day as normal.

Is NAD IV therapy safe?

NAD is a substance that your body produces naturally, so an IV infusion won’t cause any allergic responses. To ensure you receive the highest quality care, you’re under the supervision of the highly qualified doctors at Thrive Men’s Clinic. You can be confident everyone in the clinic maintains exemplary standards regarding infection control.
