NAD+: The Essential Molecule for Cellular Health and Longevity

What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a fundamental coenzyme found in every cell of the body, playing a critical role in cellular function, energy metabolism, and DNA repair. It is essential for mitochondrial function, helping convert food into energy and supporting cellular survival mechanisms. Without it, your cells simply can’t function.
As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, leading to reduced cellular efficiency, increased oxidative stress, and a higher risk of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular disease. This loss is further accelerated by stress, inflammation, and toxic exposures, making NAD+ replenishment a key factor in maintaining optimal health.
Why do NAD+ Levels Decline?
A range of modern lifestyle and biological factors contribute to depleted NAD+ levels including:
Aging
Chronic stress and burnout
Exposure to environmental toxins
Alcohol and poor diet
Sleep disruption and circadian rhythm dysfunction
Inflammation and oxidative stress
Low NAD+ is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction — your body’s energy factories underperform — which affects everything from your metabolism to brain clarity and immune response.
The Science Behind NAD+ and Cellular Repair
NAD+ is deeply involved in several biological processes that impact aging, metabolism, and cellular recovery. It plays a crucial role in:
DNA Repair: NAD+ activates sirtuins, a family of proteins responsible for repairing DNA damage and maintaining cellular integrity.
Energy Production & Metabolism: NAD+ is required for mitochondrial ATP production, helping convert carbohydrates, fats and amino acids into usable energy.
Inflammation Regulation: Low NAD+ levels are linked to chronic inflammation, a major contributor to aging and degenerative diseases.
Autophagy & Cellular Detoxification: NAD+ supports the body's ability to remove damaged cells and regenerate new ones, promoting longevity.
According to Prof. David Sinclair, author of Lifespan, NAD+ is essential for sirtuin function, which regulates gene expression and plays a role in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological health.
The Benefits of NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ therapy works on a cellular level, targeting the root causes of fatigue, aging, and cognitive decline. Reported and research-supported benefits include:
Slows cognitive decline and supports brain health
Boosts energy and fights chronic fatigue
Supports DNA repair and cellular regeneration
Reduces internal inflammation
Supports metabolic health and insulin sensitivity
Slows aging and supports longevity
Improves cardiovascular function
Regulates circadian rhythm and improves sleep quality
With higher cellular NAD+ levels, your body becomes better equipped to repair, detoxify, and adapt to stress — helping you perform at your best, physically and mentally.
How NAD+ is Administered
There are multiple ways to increase NAD+ levels, but not all methods are equally effective:
Oral NAD+ Precursors – Supplements like Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) support NAD+ production, but they must pass through digestion before being absorbed, reducing their bioavailability.
IV NAD+ Infusion Therapy – Delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestion for immediate cellular uptake. This allows for higher doses and faster benefits, making IV therapy the preferred option for individuals looking for rapid energy restoration, cognitive enhancement, and overall health optimization.
Our Approach at Drips is doctor-led
All protocols are medically supervised and tailored to your biology. Here’s what to expect:
Health Screening & Blood Test – We begin with baseline blood work to ensure NAD+ is right for you.
Doctor Consultation – A 15-minute doctor consult to assess your goals, results and suitability.
Tailored Protocol – Our doctor will choose the right protocol for you.
Infusion at Home – One of our clinical nurses will administer your treatment at your home or chosen location.
Who It’s For
Our clients typically come to us when they are:
Burnt out, stressed, or mentally fatigued
Seeking faster recovery post-travel, illness, or performance strain
Interested in preventative health and longevity
Experiencing brain fog, sleep issues, or energy crashes
Looking for evidence-based ways to invest in long-term health
NAD+ therapy is highly customizable, adjusting based on how each client's needs and responds to treatment. Our doctor will help you decide whether NAD is suitable for you during your consultation. Our medical team is here to guide you through the process.
