NAD+ 500mg

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme found in every living cell that plays critical roles in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular health. It powers mitochondrial function for ATP production, activates sirtuins (longevity proteins), supports PARP enzymes for DNA repair, and regulates hundreds of metabolic processes. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age—by up to 50% by middle age—contributing to reduced energy, cognitive decline, metabolic dysfunction, and accelerated aging. NAD+ therapy directly replenishes these declining levels to restore youthful cellular function.

NAD+ therapy provides comprehensive benefits including dramatically increased energy levels and reduced fatigue, enhanced cognitive function with improved focus and mental clarity, support for healthy aging and longevity pathways, improved metabolic function and insulin sensitivity, enhanced athletic performance and faster recovery, better sleep quality and circadian rhythm regulation, neuroprotection and brain health support, DNA repair and cellular protection, reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, and overall rejuvenation at the cellular level. Many patients report feeling more energized, mentally sharp, and physically capable within the first few treatments.

NAD+ is administered via intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular (IM) injection, with IV therapy providing the most direct and efficient delivery for maximum cellular uptake. The standard therapeutic dose is 500mg per session. Treatment frequency is typically 1-2 times per week depending on individual goals and response. IV infusions generally take 2-4 hours as NAD+ must be administered slowly for optimal tolerance. Initial protocols usually run 4-12 weeks, with many individuals benefiting from ongoing maintenance therapy. Your BHRC physician will customize the protocol based on your specific health status and objectives.

Many individuals experience noticeable increases in energy and mental clarity during or immediately after their first NAD+ infusion, though initial treatments may cause temporary flushing or mild discomfort as cellular metabolism rapidly increases. Sustained improvements in energy, focus, and overall vitality typically develop over 2-4 weeks of consistent therapy as cellular NAD+ levels are restored. More significant benefits such as enhanced metabolic function, improved exercise capacity, better sleep, and anti-aging effects generally become apparent over 4-8 weeks. For optimal long-term results in cellular health, longevity, and comprehensive rejuvenation, protocols of 8-12 weeks are recommended.

NAD+ has an excellent overall safety profile as a naturally occurring molecule essential for life. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, including nausea, flushing, cramping, or lightheadedness during IV infusion, which typically resolve by slowing the infusion rate. These reactions occur because NAD+ rapidly activates cellular metabolism. Rare individuals may experience headaches or fatigue as the body adjusts. NAD+ should be used cautiously in individuals with certain cardiovascular conditions, active cancer, or specific metabolic disorders. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid NAD+ therapy. Comprehensive medical evaluation ensures appropriate candidacy and protocol customization for safety.

Yes, NAD+ synergizes exceptionally well with other therapies and is often incorporated into comprehensive wellness protocols. NAD+ is frequently combined with peptide therapies for enhanced cellular repair and recovery, IV vitamin therapy for comprehensive nutritional support, hormone optimization for metabolic and anti-aging benefits, glutathione for antioxidant protection, and targeted supplements like resveratrol or NMN for additional sirtuin activation. Many patients integrate NAD+ with exercise programs, intermittent fasting, or other longevity interventions for amplified benefits. Your BHRC physician will design an integrated protocol optimized for your specific health goals and therapeutic objectives.

NAD+ therapy is typically not covered by insurance as it’s considered preventive, regenerative, and longevity-focused medicine rather than treatment for acute disease. BHRC offers transparent pricing and flexible payment options to make this transformative therapy accessible. Many patients find the investment highly worthwhile given the comprehensive benefits for energy, cognitive function, metabolic health, performance, and healthy aging. Some health savings accounts (HSA) or flexible spending accounts (FSA) may cover NAD+ therapy—consult your provider.
