IV NAD Therapy SARASOTA
What is NAD+ ?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme present in almost all cells in your body. Its main purpose is to fuel metabolic reactions forward, similar to gas in your car. Without NAD+, your cells won’t be able to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and amino acids. NAD+ also plays a significant role in gene expression linked to age-related diseases.
IV Therapy
NAD+ IV Therapy is an emerging vitamin therapy that is all-natural, holistic, and has shown outstanding results. IV NAD+ therapy may be the light at the end of the tunnel for many people suffering from addiction, age-related diseases, and chronic fatigue.
Even if needles make you queasy, this particular therapy is well worth the momentary needle stick. Why? Administering a high dose of NAD+ straight into your bloodstream, compared to other routes (i.e. oral) will give you a faster, more effective outcome. This high dose quickly optimizes your NAD+ levels, which revs up the engine in your cells (called the mitochondrion) translating into more energy for you.
The IV therapy can last from 3 to 15 days, depending on your condition and your goals. It’s important to work with a qualified doctor who is certified in providing NAD+ treatment, because there are specific protocols.
Benefits & How NAD+ Can Help
Boost Metabolism
NAD+ IV therapy can help. NAD and it’s twin form, NADH are primarily used in redox reactions to generate energy within your cells. Part of this process includes the breakdown of carbohydrates, or sugar. What happens when your body is flooded with sugar? On top of elevated blood sugar levels, your cells start to metabolism the simple carbohydrates leading to an overload of NADH. Excess NADH has been linked to several metabolic conditions. Diabetes is one of those conditions. When your body doesn’t have enough NAD, or an overload of NADH, it won’t be able to activate the superhero enzymes sirtuins. Studies have shown that mice with elevated sirtuins were less likely to become diabetic, and were at a decreased risk of fatty liver disease. While IV NAD therapy won’t be able to lower your blood glucose levels, it does produce the same effect as calorie restriction. In other words, NAD+ therapy might be able to reduce your waistline.
Reduce Pain
Boosting your NAD levels will allow your body to heal itself better from injury, especially when it comes to the regeneration of your blood vessels. Diabetic patients are at risk for developing blood vessel damage due to high blood glucose levels. This type of damage may lead to atherosclerosis, or the hardening of your arteries. Not only will NAD promote healing of your insides, but it may also reduce your risk of heart disease.
Promising therapy for drug and alcohol addiction
NAD+ IV Therapy is NOT a cure for addiction. It’s a natural therapy option that heals the brain on the cellular level and kickstarts recovery. Why is this important? This allows the person struggling with addiction to have a better chance at succeeding with recovery in the long term.
Addiction is a brain disease with underlying root causes that up until now have not been effectively treated (relapse rates are 50-90%). The closest effective treatment has been psychotherapy, which actually helps rewire the brain. More research needs to be done regarding NAD+ and the impact on the brain and addiction. But so far, patients and clinicians have seen incredible transformations when using NAD+ as a detox method.
NAD is different from typical treatment options because
The most profound effect of IV NAD+ is its ability to reduce cravings associated with alcohol and opiate withdrawal. NAD+ is a more natural solution compared to the prescription drugs suboxone, naltrexone or methadone, because there are no toxic side effects from NAD+. After only 10-15 consecutive treatments of IV NAD+, people battling addiction have a better chance to live a sober and pain free life.
Beats chronic fatigue
Those who suffer from chronic fatigue battle with debilitating symptoms every day. It’s unclear exactly what causes chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and there’s currently no diagnostic tests either. Conventional treatment may consist of a combination of antidepressants and sleep medication, but this method is like placing a bandage over an internal injury. IV NAD therapy addresses the core issue by supplying your body with the energy it needs to heal on a cellular level.
Enhances brain function
Cognitive decline is a trademark symptom for aging. As we get older, our memory becomes fuzzy and we think a little slower. Neurodegeneration describes the loss of structure or function of the neurons. Research is emerging about the neuro-protective effects of sirtuins in the brain. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in the hippocampus has been linked with an increase in memory and learning in mice. Additionally, SIRT1 can protect against amyloid proteins associated with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders. SIRT1 is dependent on NAD+ and acts to protect your brain and neurons.
Most people who experience NAD IV therapy express the following brain benefits
Anti-aging
Declining NAD+ associated with aging is due to the inability of the cell to recycle NAD+, or to synthesize new NAD+. Enzymes either break down NAD+ into its derivatives or reduce the NAD+ in the form NADH. Two enzymes notorious for the degradation of NAD+ include PARP and CD38.
