What is NAD Therapy and its Benefits?
What you will learn about
NAD+ is an abbreviation for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, a molecule found in all living cells. It is considered to be as important as food, water and oxygen for the health of your body.
Why is NAD important?
NAD levels decrease as you age, diminishing dramatically after age 40.
Therapeutic uses
- Energy metabolism
- Mitochondrial function (which generate your cells’ supply of chemical energy)
- DNA repair, which preserves your long term health, preventing cancer and genetic diseases
- Circadian rhythm, which optimizes your sleep quality and day-time energy and alertness
- It enhances the expression of your longevity genes, called SULTR
Therapeutic benefits
- -Promotes healthy brain functioning
- -Slows down cognitive decline
- -Regenerates cells
- -Boosts metabolism
- -Decreases chronic fatigue
- -Boosts energy levels
- -Slows aging
- -Reduces body inflammation
How we can administer NAD therapy
–Intranasal NAD
This administration of NAD is to address problems such as migraines, headaches, sinus problems, and neurological malfunction. The procedure uses a soft, flexible, latex-free catheter (SphenoCath which is a FDA cleared product) to insert into the nostril. When the NAD is administered it is able to reach branches of the trigeminal system.
–IV NAD
This IV involves inserting an IV exactly like our other Nutrient IV therapies. This IV is very powerful and must be delivered slowly over a 3-4 hour session. It is typically delivered monthly depending on your health condition. The NAD IV is excellent for treating chronic conditions such as Lyme disease, depression/anxiety, long-haul COVID, autoimmune diseases, and neurological diseases. It is also known as an anti-aging methodology to support energy levels, mental clarity, and detoxification pathways to enhance longevity.
–NAD Melts
This supplement utilizes the active form of NAD+ in an easily dissolved tablet. It is used in conjunction with the above treatments to help maintain your NAD+ levels. Research has shown that daily supplementation can increase your NAD+ levels by 40%. We can ship NAD Mets anywhere in the U.S.

Today I want to talk to you about NAD therapy, how it can be helpful, as well as the different forms of administration Root Cause Medical Clinic provides.
NAD therapy, what is it? NAD stands for Nicotinamide Aine DCO Peptide. This is one of the most abundant molecules in any living organism, and it’s responsible for creating more energy than K2P.
One of the most awesome things about this molecule is that it upregulates, activates our longevity genes, and these genes are called SULTR genes which act as the defenders of our aging process, of our cellular function. And so whatever you’re looking for, whether it is to live longer, whether it’s to anti-age, decrease your biological age, or if it’s to prevent disease or reverse disease that’s already going on, this can be helpful for you.
At the root of any disease process is cellular dysfunction. And remember, the whole purpose behind NAD and why it is useful is because it can optimize cellular function.
Our clinic offers NAD therapy in different forms:
- NAD melts: These are dissolvable tablets that you can take daily to increase NAD. We can ship them anywhere in the US.
- Intranasal NAD: This is unique to us. Very few clinics are able to offer this form of NAD therapy. We administer NAD intranasally through the near the nostril through a soft, flexible catheter called a spinal cath. I see this being very useful for my patients who have headaches or migraines, also any neurologic disorder.
- IV intravenous NAD. This is the most potent, powerful way of administrating NAD therapy. And when I think of this, I think of my patients who are dealing with mood disorders, who have neurogenerative diseases going on for addiction and for any type of inflammatory syndromes or autoimmune disease.
So whatever you’re looking for, whether it is, like I said, for longevity, for biohacking, and or for preventing or reversing any disease process, this therapy is for you.
So give us a call. Reach out to us. We’d love to talk with you more and provide guidance on what would be best for you so that we continue to help you live a long, healthy and optimal life.
