What is NAD+?
Every cell in the human body contains an organic molecule called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). This is a critical coenzyme that plays a key role in energy production, DNA repair and the regulation of metabolic processes. While it naturally occurs in the body, NAD+ levels decrease over time with age, and this decrease can lead to symptoms like fatigue, slower recovery and accelerated aging.
How Can You Boost NAD+?
Along with practicing a healthy lifestyle like eating a nutritious diet, staying active and getting quality sleep, there are other effective ways to boost your NAD+ levels.
At Restore, we have NAD+ IV Drip and IM Shot Therapy and Niagen (NR) IV Drip and IM Shots. Both are highly effective for boosting your NAD+ levels. In this article, our experts dive into the science behind these Drips and IM Shots that can help you look and feel your best—inside and out.
What is Niagen (NR)?
Niagen (NR), aka nicotinamide riboside, is a natural precursor to NAD+ that helps boost anti-aging intervention, energy and metabolism. Niagen (NR) is a patented, pharmaceutical-grade form of NR that is naturally converted into NAD+ within your cells safely through a process known as mitophagy.1
In fact, NR is the most efficient and superior therapy for boosting NAD+ available on the market. It can help jump-start several different cellular processes, including metabolism, energy, cognitive function, muscle recovery, physical performance and cardiovascular health while reducing age- and stress-related cellular damage and symptoms like inflammation.
How Do NAD+ & NR Therapy Work?
With IV Drip Therapy, nutrients are injected directly into the bloodstream through an IV inserted into your vein. This allows them to bypass the digestive system and ensures direct absorption, making it more effective than oral ingestion. Similar to IV Drip Therapy, IM Shots are a faster, more efficient way to enjoy the effects of NAD+ therapy. IM Shots are given directly into the gluteal muscle in a session that takes less than five minutes.
The Anti-Aging & Metabolism Benefits
Studies have found that both NAD+ and Niagen can provide a range of benefits regarding healthy aging and longevity.2
Improved Skin Health
As you age, your skin is one of the first windows into your health that can show the effects of lower NAD+ levels. By adding NAD+ Therapy, you can help promote cell renewal and protect against signs of aging, such as reduced wrinkles and blemishes and providing protection against UV damage.3 This may lead to more radiant, healthier skin.
Reduced Risk of Degenerative Diseases
The neuroprotective properties of NAD+ can help protect the brain against diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's by increasing sirtuin protein production.4 By protecting neurons from oxidative stress and other damage, you’re also taking steps to protect your cognitive function as you age.
Supports a Healthy Metabolism
NAD+ can boost energy levels and cardiovascular health, and when combined with a balanced diet and exercise, can even help regulate hunger hormones and increase the amount of calories your body burns.5 It may also improve sleep quality, which can lead to less fatigue and more overall energy to exercise and complete everyday tasks.
Restore Your NAD+ with IV Drips & IM Shots
Whether you choose NAD+ or Niagen (NR) or IV Drip or IM Shot delivery, these two therapies offer numerous health benefits that can help reduce the negative aspects of aging and increase the overall quality of your health and wellness. From improved skin to increased energy and metabolism, boosting your NAD+ levels may just be the answer you need to help you live the life you want—and deserve.
