what is nad+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body and is essential for energy production and cellular repair.(5) Levels naturally decline with age, which has led to growing interest in NAD+ supplementation for energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality. At ION, NAD+ is administered as a convenient intramuscular (IM) injection, offering a faster, lower-commitment alternative to IV infusion.
What NAD+ May Support
- Cellular energy production and reduced fatigue
- Mental clarity and focus
- Healthy metabolic function
- Recovery from physical and mental stress
- Support for the body’s natural aging processes
NAD+ injections are typically given as part of a series, with a maintenance schedule recommended based on your goals and how your body responds during your initial sessions.
Who is a candidate for NAD+?
NAD+ therapy is a good fit for adults in good general health who are looking to support recovery, energy, or skin quality as part of a broader wellness plan. You may be a candidate if you’re interested in:
- Taking a proactive approach to long-term wellness
- Supporting energy levels and mental clarity
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing certain chronic conditions may need to delay treatment or may not be candidates. A full medical history is reviewed during your consultation to confirm candidacy and build a protocol that’s right for you.
combining NAD+ with GLP-1
GLP-1s are weight loss medications that work by targeting the hormonal pathways that trigger hunger and insulin responses. They allow patients to achieve substantial weight loss, often at a rapid rate.
At ION, we offer GLP-1 medications. We can combine NAD+ therapy with GLP-1 treatments to enhance patients’ wellness journeys and provide them with the best results. NAD+ may support a GLP-1 regimen by reducing fatigue and ‘brain fog’ sometimes caused by GLP-1 weight loss.
