FAQs: All You Need to Know About NAD+ Therapy at The NAD Clinic
We understand that you may have questions about NAD+ therapy, its safety, and its range of applications. Our experts, Arjan Ruba and Dr. Kiran Ruba, have compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to guide you on your journey to revitalised health.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It's a coenzyme found in all living cells and plays a pivotal role in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and various other biological processes.
How Does NAD+ Therapy Work?
NAD+ therapy involves administering NAD+ directly into the bloodstream through intravenous infusion, intramuscular injections, or other forms such as oral capsules and nasal sprays. This allows for immediate cellular absorption and enhanced benefits.
Is NAD+ Therapy Safe?
Yes, NAD+ therapy is generally considered safe. The FDA recognises NAD+ as being inherently safe for doses up to 2000mg/day. To date, no clinical studies in humans have shown any adverse effects reported for NAD+ infusion.
What Conditions Can NAD+ Therapy Treat?
NAD+ therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and addiction control.
How Long Does a Treatment Session Last?
The duration of a treatment session can vary depending on the method of administration and the specific condition being treated. Typically, intravenous infusions can last between 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Do I Need a Prescription for NAD+ Therapy?
While some forms of NAD+ therapy, like oral capsules, are available over-the-counter, it's recommended to consult with healthcare professionals for a customised treatment plan, especially for intravenous or intramuscular treatments.
How Soon Will I See Results?
The timeline for experiencing benefits can vary from person to person. However, many individuals report feeling immediate improvements in energy levels, mental clarity, and overall well-being after just one session. We recommend starting with a three-infusion package for optimal results.
Is NAD+ Found Naturally in the Body?
Yes, NAD+ is naturally occurring in our bodies. However, levels begin to decline as we age, and factors like unhealthy lifestyle choices, drug/alcohol consumption, and chronic diseases can accelerate this decline.
Do I Need NAD+?
Absolutely! NAD+ is essential for our overall well-being. The more NAD+ we have available to our body and brain, the more optimised and youthful we feel, look, and function.
Does NAD+ Impact Our Everyday Life?
Yes, NAD+ directly impacts our everyday living as it is responsible for our mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
What Happens When You Stop Having NAD+ Infusions?
Your NAD+ levels will naturally begin to decrease, as they normally would without the increased availability of NAD+ via infusion.
Where Is Our NAD+ Made?
Our NAD+ is made in a TGA-approved lab in Australia.
Is NAD+ a Stimulant Like Caffeine?
No, NAD+ is not a stimulant like caffeine. It works on a cellular level to repair and restore youth and vitality throughout our entire body.
Does NAD+ Impact Libido?
Yes, NAD+ supports healthy sexual function and desire, impacting stamina, endurance, and mood.
Does NAD+ Affect Fertility?
NAD+ has a direct impact on the health and quality of genetic material. It is essential for a safe pregnancy and reduces the risk of birth defects and miscarriage.
Does NAD+ Help with Addiction Recovery?
Elevated NAD+ levels may help those recovering from addictions. Drug and alcohol abuse decrease NAD+ levels, making recovery challenging. Increased NAD+ supply may repair physical and psychological damage, promoting healthy recovery.
Will NAD+ Interfere with Any of My Current Medications?
There is currently no evidence to suggest that NAD+ should adversely interfere with any medications prescribed by your doctor.
Am I Too Young to Benefit from NAD+?
NAD+ levels decline with age, but stressors like drugs, alcohol, and chronic illness can accelerate this process at any age. If you're feeling the effects of ageing or stress, you'll likely benefit from NAD+.
