NAD+ is essential to cellular function and by default, the creation of energy. It’s being hailed as the fountain of youth for its ability to renew cellular functions across skin, cognitive function, heart health, inflammation and recovery. And with the focus of our practice being a longer, healthier and happier life, NAD+ certainly has its place in most care plans across our weight loss patients and wellness patients.
Found in every cell in your body, the critical coenzyme is essential for creating cellular energy and maintaining cellular health. Levels of this critical molecule correlate with aging, and you’ll find that levels actually decline as you age. Despite their central role in cellular functions, the body doesn’t have an endless supply of NAD+ and the supplement is notoriously hard to get in various forms due to it’s bioavailability.
Because metabolism is intricately related to other biological processes, NAD+ is key to making metabolism as efficient as possible – specifically for glycolysis (the pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate which increase the breakdown of fat, which could improve weight loss), the TCA cycle (responsible for energy), and oxidative phosphorylation (a metabolic process that produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy molecule for cells).
NAD+ may improve the signs of aging, cognitive function, skin health and keeping you at your ideal weight. If you’re interested in getting NAD+ in a subcutaneous twice weekly at-home injection, purchase your first rx here and a member of our team will reach out to confirm your candidacy through virtual visit.
