Unlocking the Power of NAD+: Your Key to Health and Vitality

Updated: Mar 24

Harvard scientists have coined Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) the "miracle molecule" and for good reason. NAD is a naturally occurring coenzyme of niacin that helps cells in our bodies produce energy. It does so by converting the energy we get from food into cellular energy. NAD+ acts as an important cofactor and substrate for a multitude of biological processes including energy production, DNA repair, gene expression, calcium-dependent secondary messenger signaling and immunoregulatory roles. NAD+ is utilized to make ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate- how the human body creates energy) in our mitochondria (the "powerhouse" organelle). Depletion and impairment of NAD+ are pivotal events to the common neurodegenerative diseases of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Huntington's Disease (HD), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). More evidence of linkages between NAD+ depletion/supplementation and Neurological Disorders.


NAD+ naturally decreases as we age and many environmental factors can speed up that natural decline. For example, as a person uses alcohol or drugs, their natural amount of NAD+ becomes more depleted. This then makes it even more difficult to convert energy that is broken down from food into cellular energy. It is even speculated that people who naturally produce less NAD+ are more likely to develop an addiction and potentially a co-occurring disorder. Other reasons the body’s natural reserve of NAD+ would be depleted are:

  • Post-traumatic stress

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)

  • Alzheimer’s

  • Parkinson’s

  • ALS

  • Huntington's

  • Neurodegenerative diseases

  • Aging


NAD+ role in neurodegenerative diseases

But fear not, for there are steps we can take to replenish and preserve our precious NAD+ levels. From lifestyle adjustments to cutting-edge IV therapy, the path to optimal health is within reach:


  1. Exercise: Engage in daily physical activity to boost NAD+ production and fortify your body against age-related decline.

  2. Fasting: Embrace intermittent fasting to give your body a much-needed respite and slow the depletion of NAD+.

  3. Heat Therapy: Indulge in the warmth of saunas or steam rooms to stimulate NAD+ production and enhance overall vitality.

  4. Nutrient-Rich Diet: Incorporate NAD+-boosting foods like avocados, fish, and raw milk into your meals to support cellular health.


While lifestyle changes are invaluable, IV supplementation remains a potent tool in our arsenal against aging and disease. Administered by experts at gIVe Wellness, NAD+ IV therapy offers a direct and efficient means of replenishing dwindling reserves, promoting mental clarity, increased energy, and overall well-being.


Recent studies underscore the profound impact of NAD+ supplementation on mitigating oxidative damage, particularly in the brain. From extending healthspan to improving cognitive function, the benefits are undeniable, making NAD+ a promising target for age-related therapies.
