NAD+ Therapy weight loss patients Plastic Surgery Specialty Group

NAD+ therapy is an innovative treatment designed to enhance the levels of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) within the body, facilitating improved cellular function and promoting overall wellness. As we age or experience stressors in life, our body’s natural NAD+ levels can decline, leading to fatigue, cognitive issues, and other health concerns. Many individuals are seeking NAD+ Therapy for its potential benefits, which are linked to anti-aging and vitality enhancement.

If you have been struggling with fatigue, low energy levels, or age-related changes to your health, NAD+ therapy can help. For weight loss patients, fortifying your body with essential nutrients can help you maintain your energy levels as you make healthy lifestyle changes for more effective weight loss.

About NAD+ Therapy

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a crucial role in energy production and various metabolic processes. As we age, NAD+ levels tend to drop (1), which can impact energy, mental clarity, and metabolism. If you are trying to lose weight, these age-related changes can work against your efforts to achieve your goal weight.

NAD+ therapy helps your body maintain a healthy BMI and naturally raises your levels of adiponectin, a hormone that helps increase insulin sensitivity. (2) NAD+ is a naturally occurring form of active vitamin B3 in your body. (3) It can help your cells convert nutrients into energy and help your DNA repair itself.

NAD+ Therapy Benefits

With NAD+ therapy, you can enjoy several benefits:

  • Increased energy levels: After NAD+ therapy, you can enjoy improved daily function from increased energy levels.
  • Anti-aging benefits: Research suggests NAD+ plays a role in sirtuin activation—a group of proteins linked to longevity and age-related health improvement.
  • Oxidative stress reduction: Higher NAD+ levels contribute to combating oxidative stress, helping to prevent cellular damage.
  • Improved mental clarity: (4) The treatment is proven to help improve the mental clarity of patients with diabetes.
  • Reduced risk of chronic conditions: (5) Fortifying your body with this essential coenzyme can help promote long-term health.
  • Better weight management: (6) If you have trouble maintaining a stable weight, NAD+ therapy can help your body regulate itself for a healthier BMI.
  • Enhanced quality of life: The energizing treatment can improve how you feel daily for a better quality of life.

How to Prepare for NAD+ Therapy

  • Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before therapy.
