The natural aging process can cause a variety of changes that you never expected. As you get older, you may be surprised by memory challenges, foggy thinking, and a noticeable lack of energy.
At IV MD in Manhattan, we specialize in infusions therapies to address all sorts of health and wellness challenges. Our infusion specialist, Chaim Mandelbaum, MD, provides customized infusions that contain ingredients that offer a multitude of anti-aging benefits.
Here, we take a deeper look at one such infusion, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and what benefits it offers for your existing and long-term wellness.
What to know about NAD+
NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme that your body produces. This coenzyme is found in every one of your cells and is an essential component of organ function and energy production.
As you get older, your NAD+ levels decline. The lifestyle choices you make can also prematurely deplete the amount of NAD+ in your cells. Some habits that negatively affect NAD+ levels include:
- Poor diet
- Sleep deprivation
- Unmanaged stress
- Lack of daily exercise
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Unprotected exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays
Infections and other underlying medical conditions can also change how much NAD+ is present in your cells.
How NAD+ infusion therapy works
The NAD+ infusions that Dr. Mandelbaum and our team offer contain high levels of the coenzyme, as well as extra fluids. The fluids drip slowly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) line in one of your veins.
IV MD offers two different infusion therapies that contain high-quality NAD+. Dr. Mandelbaum can determine which one is a good fit for you. These therapies include:
Energy mixture
Our energy mixture contains NAD+ and ingredients like glutathione, folic acid, B-complex vitamins, and calcium chloride to enhance your overall energy levels and improve your mental clarity.
Neuroboost mixture
Our neuroboost infusions contain NAD+ and extra fluids that support the repair of damaged DNA, reduce inflammation, and protect brain cells from additional damage.
IV infusions allow your cells direct access to the NAD+ and fluids, so they can use them immediately to revitalize your energy and alleviate other symptoms that become more common as you age.
Our infusions are minimally invasive, and our team evaluates your vital signs and comfort throughout your in-office treatment. We can also recommend additional NAD+ infusions, so you can enjoy the anti-aging benefits they offer.
Anti-aging benefits of NAD+ infusions
In addition to better mental clarity and more energy, the NAD+ infusions we offer at IV MD provide multiple anti-aging benefits including:
Enhanced cognitive function
NAD+ infusions help prevent cognitive impairments that lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease and dementia. Infusions also promote better brain function to reduce episodes of brain fog and promote better cognitive function.
Renewed cell regeneration
NAD+ plays a role in the renewal of cells, a process that can slow down as you get older. NAD+ infusions support the healing of damaged cells in your soft tissues and organs.
Less risk for age-related medical complications
Because NAD+ helps fight inflammation throughout your body, NAD+ infusions can lower your risk for age-related inflammatory conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. NAD+ also offers immunity-boosting benefits to support your long-term health.
Reduced anxiety and depression
Low levels of NAD+ have been linked to an increase in anxiety and depression among older adults. Infusions of NAD+ promote better cellular health and repair damaged DNA, so you can find lasting relief from depression and anxiety symptoms.
