Can a small molecule which is naturally found in nearly every cell in the body hold the key to slowing the aging process?
NAD+ injections and IV drips have recently become a popular go to health, wellness and anti-aging treatment to celebrities, fashion elites and wellness gurus.
What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a molecule that plays a critical role in many physiological and metabolic functions. It is a vital component in cell metabolism and cellular function, playing a crucial role in energy production, as well as cognitive function.
Not surprisingly, NAD levels naturally decline as we age, which can lead to reduced cellular function and even increased inflammation.
Key Benefits:
Boosting NAD levels via injections or other means has the potential to provide a wide range of health benefits, including:
- Increased energy
- Improved mood
- Enhanced cognitive function and memory.
- Better quality sleep
- Reduced pain and inflammation
- Supports detoxification processes.
- Augments cellular repair and regeneration.
Although many ardent supporters see NAD+ injections as crucial to staying healthy, boosting energy, as well as staying and feeling young, NAD+ also offers several key benefits for those who are suffering from chronic medical conditions. It has been shown to help protect against free radical damage, thereby reducing inflammation, which is the root cause of many chronic conditions.
Although NAD+ is highly beneficial in and of itself, when it is combined with other natural compounds and supplements, the synergistic effect is incredibly powerful. This approach has produced incredible results for people dealing with thyroid dysfunction, GI conditions like SIBO and IBS, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, and other inflammatory and pain conditions, as well as recovery from Long COVID. Significant research is also looking at NAD+, in conjunction with other therapeutic compounds, and its role in slowing down the aging process. Given its vital role in so many physiological processes, as well as energy metabolism, it shows significant promise as an anti-aging therapy, as well as a beneficial treatment for numerous conditions.
What distinguishes Dr. Kellman from other practitioners and IV boutiques offering NAD+ injections?
Dr. Kellman’s approach not only leverages the powerful benefits of NAD+ supplementation, but he uses his unique expertise to customize therapeutic protocols which combine NAD+ with other natural compounds and supplements, which synergistically are more powerful and effective than just NAD+ alone.
This is perfectly aligned with Dr. Kellman’s focus on Foundational Medicine.
NAD+ supplementation in conjunction with other supplementation works by enhancing cellular energy production thereby creating synergistic effects, supporting overall health and function:
Below is just some of the synergistic approach can do when leveraging the benefits of NAD+:
- Carnitine plays a crucial role in mitochondrial function by facilitating the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria for energy production. By enhancing fatty acid metabolism, carnitine can complement NAD+ supplementation, promoting efficient energy production and cellular function.
- Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant and a key component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria, where it helps generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells. CoQ10 supplementation can enhance mitochondrial function and energy production, synergizing with NAD+ to support cellular metabolism and overall vitality.
- Alpha-ketoglutarate is an intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle, which is central to cellular energy production. Supplementation with alpha ketoglutarate may help replenish TCA cycle intermediates, promoting efficient energy metabolism and synergizing with NAD+ to support mitochondrial function.
- Glutathione, touted as the “Master Antioxidant,” plays a critical role in cellular defense against oxidative stress and detoxification processes. By scavenging free radicals and supporting cellular redox balance, glutathione supplementation can complement NAD+ therapy, helping to protect mitochondria from oxidative damage and promote overall cellular health.
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a versatile antioxidant that functions as a cofactor for several mitochondrial enzymes involved in energy metabolism. It can enhance mitochondrial function, improve cellular energy production, and support antioxidant defenses, synergizing with NAD+ to promote cellular vitality and resilience.
- Apigenin is a flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may support mitochondrial function and cellular health. By modulating cellular signaling pathways and protecting against oxidative stress, apigenin supplementation can complement NAD+ therapy, promoting overall metabolic health and vitality.
