Boost Your Mitochondrial Health With IV NAD+

The human body is a powerful machine, with so many parts and processes that work together seamlessly. Like any other machine, it requires fuel. We input food and water, and the body does the rest. But how does it actually make and use energy? The mitochondria! Also called the “powerhouse” of the cell, the mitochondria are in charge of producing energy for all of the cells in our body. Without mitochondria, none of our body systems would work. Everything from movement to growth to digesting food involves the energy produced by mitochondria. Unfortunately, some diseases, chronic illnesses, and environmental factors can negatively impact our mitochondrial health. Luckily, we can give your mitochondria a boost with IV NAD+. Let’s learn more about it.

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, making it abundantly clear why we will refer to it simply as NAD+ for the remainder of this article. While most people have never heard of it, it is actually one of the most abundant substances in the human body. It’s critical in hundreds of biochemical processes in the body, and without it we would cease to exist. In the past 15-20 years we have come to know just how important NAD+ is to overall health and how its decline with aging contributes to nearly all types of metabolic dysfunction and chronic disease. It, not surprisingly, plays a key role in the function of mitochondria. It’s safe to say that maintaining adequate levels of NAD+ in our system is important to long term health.

Can You Increase Your NAD+ Levels Naturally?

Since NAD+ is so critical to life, it follows that your body typically produces what it needs. However, there are factors that affect production. Poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol consumption, and even too much time in the sun can lower NAD+ levels. In addition, production declines with age. There are ways to boost your NAD+ production, like through exercise, heat exposure (hot tub, sauna), and fasting.

The Power Of IV NAD+ For Mitochondrial Health

While we definitely recommend engaging in the NAD+ boosting activities mentioned above, one of the best ways to quickly replenish your levels is through an IV. This mega dose goes straight into your bloodstream, immediately ramping up metabolism and increasing energy production and availability. This type of treatment is great when you’re feeling very run down, especially after an acute illness. Plus, studies show that getting regular NAD+ infusions can actually slow down the aging process and increase longevity due to the effect it has on your metabolism. For anyone interested in staying healthy as long as possible, it’s worth considering this type of treatment.
