What is NAD+
why Does it impact our health, skin, and longevity?
NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide Riboside Dinucleotide, a vitamin B3 derivative.
It is an important coenzyme found in our body's cells and plays a crucial role in generating energy for proper functioning. NAD+ is located in the powerhouse of living cells and serves as a vital substrate for cellular metabolism, reactions, and signaling pathways.
Studies suggest that sufficient NAD+ level combat aging and chronic conditions in the human body and brain, contributing to the maintenance of healthy internal organs, skin, and neurological systems.
The primary issue is that NAD+ levels tend to decline as we age due to various factors.
For example, when our body experiences inflammation from conditions such as infection (e.g., cold, COVID-19, diarrhea) or pollution, our cells utilize NAD+ to combat inflammation, leading to its depletion. Consequently, the frequent requirement of NAD+ by our body as we age contributes to declining levels, as cells are not adept at replenishing NAD+.

How to make the most out of NAD+ Therapy?
Q&A
When to do a loading dose? Consider administering a loading dose when starting NAD therapy for the first time, after a recent illness, or following a significant physical stress such as surgery.
How long does a 250mg therapy take? NAD+ drip usually take around 60-90 minutes/session
What are the side effects of NAD therapy? When administered too quickly, NAD therapy may cause lightheadedness, a slight headache, or stomach discomfort. To reduce these side effects, we administer a 250mg infusion over 60-90 minutes.
Who is performing NAD+ Therapy? At Mediva Clinic, we ensure the highest quality of care. All procedures are performed by licensed medical doctors
What if I missed NAD+ Therapy for a few months? It is okay to continue with the maintenance protocol. However, if the body has recently experienced a lot of stress in the past few months, it is recommended to do a loading dose again.
