NAD+ is used to support cellular energy.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a critical coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a lead role in metabolic processes and maintaining cellular health. Think of it as a "helper molecule" that turns nutrients into energy and helps repair damaged DNA.
Why use NAD+?
As we age, our natural levels of NAD+ decline, which can lead to feeling "run down" or experiencing "brain fog." Supplementing with NAD+ is often used to:
Boost Cellular Energy: It helps your mitochondria (the powerhouses of your cells) produce ATP, the primary energy source for your body.
Support Cognitive Function: Many patients use it to improve focus, mental clarity, and memory.
Promote Healthy Aging: It activates sirtuins, which are proteins that help protect your DNA and regulate cellular aging.
Improve Recovery: It may help reduce inflammation and support muscle recovery after strenuous activity.
How is it administered?
At YupMD, we offer NAD+ via subcutaneous injection and nasal spray:
Nasal Spray: A convenient, needle-free option designed for direct absorption through the nasal passages, allowing NAD+ to efficiently reach the bloodstream and brain tissue for optimal cognitive support.
Subcutaneous Injections: Self-administered injections into fatty tissue for maximum overall bio-availability and systemic absorption.
Storage & Safety
Storage: Keep your NAD+ refrigerated to maintain potency and freshness.
Side Effects: While generally well-tolerated:
Nasal Spray: You may experience mild nasal dryness, temporary congestion, or a brief tingling sensation in the nose.
Injections: You may experience temporary redness or mild discomfort at the injection site, or a brief "flushed" feeling.
