Enzymes are the proteins in our our cells that act as a catalyst in detoxification, muscle building, and extracting energy from digested food. Coenzymes are organic, non-protein molecules required by these enzymes to activate, thus activating certain metabolic reactions and cellular functions can generate the energy needed by
every single cell in our body.

NAD+ happens to be the most important coenzyme found in every single cell of the human body.

Regulates Metabolism-NAD+ converts those carbs, fats, and proteins we just ate into usable energy called ATP (Krebs Cycle anyone?) Every single cell in our body needs that generated energy to participate in metabolic reaction for homeostasis. This is a fancy way of saying, NAD+ creates the energy needed for our metabolism.

Assists in DNA Repair-NAD+ activates a family of genes called Sirtuins that are essential for DNA repair. Our DNA is constantly damaged and NAD+ activated Sirtuins are one of the key players in repairing that damage.

Just like everything else that decreases with age, NAD+ is no different. Studies have shown that by the time we hit our 40’s, our bodies no longer can meet the demand for very important biological processes. At age 50, levels typically have dropped more than 50%. Increased stress levels, alcohol consumption, obesity and smoking have been linked to faster NAD+ depletion. Less NAD+ means less Sirtuins less DNA repair. Overall, less NAD+, leads to increased disease, and increased disease leads to less NAD+. It’s without a doubt a vicious cycle and it affects every organ system in our bodies. Our brain, heart, liver, immune system and metabolism are negatively effected by declining NAD+ levels that occur with natural age progression. Yes, getting old sucks, but it doesn’t have to suck so quickly.

Although NAD+ IV therapy is not FDA approved as of yet, studies are showing NAD+ IV supplementation to be an effective treatment in improving quality of life by slowing down those unwanted aging effects we all know are coming our way.

NAD+ benefits:

*Boosts energy levels, improves metabolism, enhances athletic performance.
*Improves cellular health, regenerates cells, and repairs damaged DNA.
*Improves mental clarity, concentration, and memory.
*Strengthens the immune system
*Elevates mood, decreases anxiety and improves circadian rhythms. Less depression, better sleep!
*Reduces inflammation and pain
*Improve skin health and appearance

Well, first, NAD+ isn’t for everyone, and a free consultation with Dr. D will determine if you are medically safe for treatment. But…….

NAD+ can be given either intravenously or as an injection separately or simultaneously.

NAD+ is typically preferred to be given intravenously as the IV route is the only way to ensure you get 100% bioavailability, meaning you will absorb the highest possible concentration of the molecule which will be converted into the molecular energy our cells need to their jobs more efficiently.

NAD+ injections are available and of course fast and easy to administer. Side effects are typically not as intense as an IV infusion, but its positive effects can be unpredictable, or not as effective. Injections can be given weekly and offers another solution to those with less available time to commit to infusions.

Rate of IV infusions with NAD+ vary person to person, depending on the dosage being administered. Some clients will experience very minor side effects during an infusion and are usually secondary to faster rates of administration. This may involve feeling flushed, mild nausea, mild headaches, upper torso pressure, abdominal cramping and even lower leg cramps. These side effects will usually resolve almost immediately with slowing down the infusion rate.

There are multiple different protocols have been created based on the clients goals and condition being treated. The most popular protocols are for “anti-aging” and “substance abuse”. At this time, Aqua Vitae is only offering the “anti-aging protocol”, although, additional protocols are being considered for additional options in the future.

Perfect for beginners. Don’t be afraid.

The most popular dosage. It hits the “sweet spot” with the administration duration time, tolerable side effects and awesome benefits.

For the experienced, and brave who have time to kill. Because of the infusion time required for the Big Daddy, appointment times are limited to Tues-Friday, between 9 am-10 am. No weekends, no exceptions……well maybe.

This is the most popular method used to get those NAD levels up at their max and reap max benefits. 3 separate 500 mg NAD+ infusions every other day, for a total of 1500 mg.

NAD+ General Maintenance and longevity: Every person is different, 1 single NAD+ infusion every 1-3 months.

Maintenance:  For anti-aging goals, we recommend NAD+ infusions twice a month after your initial loading phase completed.
