Why Everyone Is Talking About NAD+ Therapy: Benefits for Energy, Aging, and Recovery

Imagine a world in which you can slow the wear-and-tear in your body and even reverse disease. Then, imagine a world where we can heal and repair our bodies using cellular biology rather than interventional medicine, which has limited results.

That world is coming at us fast as researchers uncover key regenerative properties in our bodies and how to boost them. An example of this is the growing understanding and usage of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) across all fields of medicine, including aesthetic and anti-aging medicine.

At Skin Shop MedSpa, both Dr. Tiffany Su and Dr. Hui “He” Kang are excited about the new focus on regenerative medicine and its applications in the medspa world. We’ve tracked the science, and many of our services now focus on this exciting approach to wellness; an example of this is our NAD+ therapy.

Here’s a look at how NAD+ therapy can boost your energy levels, reverse the aging processes, help with recovery, and even improve mental health.

The basics of NAD+ 

A great place to start this discussion is with a quick explanation of the science behind NAD+. In brief, NAD+ is a coenzyme in your body found in almost all of your cells, and it:

• Regulates your metabolism
• Repairs your DNA
• Supports your immune system
• Promotes longevity (cell life)

The molecule essentially creates cellular homeostasis; NAD+ ensures that each cell in our body is healthy and functions well.

Levels of NAD+ can decline with age, disease, and poor lifestyle habits, disrupting the critical homeostasis of our cells. And when your cells aren’t at full strength, they can weaken and malfunction, allowing age and disease to take over.

NAD+ and aging

Thanks to ongoing studies in regenerative medicine, researchers now view aging as a flexible process that NAD+ therapy can influence. In fact, one study states that, “Interventions that increase NAD+ may slow aspects of the aging trajectory.”

So, if the aging process is wearing you down, inside and out, NAD+ therapy is a great way to replenish the resources your body needs to repair and regenerate itself on a cellular level.

Boosting brain power with NAD+ 

Another area in which NAD+ therapy can help is in combating neurodegeneration. Whether age is having an effect on your brain or perhaps a disease or substance use disorder has led to more brain fog, this is an area in which NAD+ therapy can excel. 

When we introduce NAD+, our goal is to:

• Fuel cellular energy
• Repair DNA
• Improve neuroplasticity
• Increase communication between cells

All of this combined can help lift you out of brain fog and give you more clarity of thought.

More energy with NAD+

When your metabolism slows, your energy levels can plummet, too. Our NAD+ therapy supports better metabolism, providing more energy to your cells, and it helps with nagging fatigue and low energy issues.

Better moods with NAD+

NAD+ also helps improve the function of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin. Therefore, NAD+ therapy is gaining traction in helping to enhance mental health.

Recovering well with NAD+

Whether recovering from a challenging workout or a prolonged illness, your body’s resources get depleted. With NAD+ therapy, we ensure that these resources remain available to help you whenever there’s recovery work to do in your body.

With much to gain from NAD+ therapy, we deliver it intravenously, directly into your bloodstream.
