How does NAD+ work?
NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production (ATP synthesis), DNA repair, and activation of sirtuins — proteins linked to aging and metabolic regulation. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and supplementation aims to restore cellular energy and resilience.
How to use NAD+
Administer as directed by your prescriber. IV infusions should only be administered under clinical supervision. Follow all infusion rate guidelines.
NAD+ side effects

Drug interactions with NAD+
Use caution with medications that affect NAD+ metabolism, including certain antivirals and niacin supplements. Alcohol consumption significantly reduces NAD+ levels. Discuss all supplements and medications with your prescriber.
How to store NAD+
