When it comes to aging, it is incredible just how much of the process is due to our bodies simply ceasing production of certain molecules in the body. The scientific medical community has been researching one such molecule for the past several decades and has finally discovered a way to have your body replace the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) we lose naturally over time (almost half of our NAD+ is lost by the time we are 50!).
So why is this molecule so critical to our bodies? NAD+ is a coenzyme that exists in every living cell in the body. NAD+ is actually the molecule that controls carrying out all the redox and metabolic reactions that occur in your body. It is important for cell repair, which then slows down the natural aging process. It is important to energy metabolism at the cellular level and is paramount to your bodies mitochondrial function. Without NAD+ for cellular energy function, there is basically no life. It is critical and necessary for healthy DNA maintenance. Why is that so important? Damaged DNA has been associated with deteriorating health and immune functions in the body, so NAD+’s ability to repair DNA is a vital anti-aging function.
Below are just a few of the body processes that NAD+s handles: The break down of glucose, the release of stored energy from carbohydrates, proteins and fats, the breakdown of fatty acids, repair of DNA, reduces inflammation in the body.
At Optimal Wellness in Cape Coral, FL, we focus on fighting aging at the cellular level from the inside of you out. When we increase your bodies NAD+ levels through supplementation these are the benefits to you:
- Healthy muscle function
- Improved sleep cycle
- Better metabolism
- Healthier heart function
- Elevated immunity
- Collagen and ceramide synthesis for healthy skin
- Increased energy
- Enhanced cognitive and neurological functions, no brain fog
- Feeling great no matter your age
- Optimal kidney and liver function
Given the important role NAD+ plays in all your body’s major functions, there are other reasons you may want to consider seeking NAD+ supplementation. Below are a few other ways patients can use NAD+ therapy.
- Manage your pain—NAD+ has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation offering pain management relief.
- Enhance your athletic performance—studies have shown that NAD+ supplementation helps in muscle repair and development. Athletes have found it boosts energy levels and increases reaction times during competition resulting in better results.
- Reduce brain fog—NAD+ studies show that it stimulates the brain providing improved cognition and concentration, enhanced memory and focus, and better overall neurological function.
- Overcome chronic fatigue—NAD+ acts as an essential cofactor in glycolytic and tricarboxylic acid pathways which result in Adenosine Triphosphate production. This is the energy source of the human body, so raising ATP levels in the body results in reduced fatigue and a boost in energy levels.
- Addiction therapy—studies have shown that NAD+ therapy benefited patients by helping to flush drugs out of the body and reduce cravings for them. It has minimized the severity of withdrawal symptoms, helping wean people off alcohol, opioids, and other prescription drug addictions.
Please come into Optimal Wellness for a consultation today to see if NAD+ therapy is right for you. We look forward to meeting you.
