There aren't many biohacking tools with more "buzz" around them than NAD+.

Known for its anti-aging and energizing effects...

This molecule plays a plays an important role in maintaining a healthy body.

Some people take it as a supplement... others as an IV drip...

But do the potential health benefits really match the hype?

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide...

Try saying that 5 times fast!

It's heavily involved in the conversion of food into energy...

And is responsible for upholding cell integrity and promoting the health of the mitochondria — a.k.a. the powerhouse of our cells.

To get scientific here for a minute...

In its oxidized form, NAD+ gains an electron from another molecule... becoming NADH... then, returns to back to NAD+ when dropping an electron.

This continual gaining and dropping of electrons by the molecule is important for maintaining chemical balance and homeostasis within our bodies.

It helps protect our DNA and mitochondria from dysfunction and lowers levels of oxidative stress much like an antioxidant would.

Although NAD+ may be familiar to seasoned biohackers who are looking to "rewind the clock"...

It's actually somewhat unknown in the world of mainstream supplementation — where multivitamins and protein powders usually hog the spotlight.

The Health Benefits of NAD+

NAD+ is such as important molecule for health and vitality that we couldn't live without it...

The cells in our body simply wouldn't be able to sustain their proper working order.

Now, here's the problem we're facing...

As we get older, our NAD+ levels naturally go down:

However, we can take it as a supplement in an effort to keep cells younger and stay healthier for longer.

Here are some of the top benefits that taking NAD+ could provide:

• Protects cognition from decline

• Promotes healthy aging

• Improves overall energy

• Increases your metabolic rate

• Lowers inflammatory markers

• Reduces chronic fatigue

• Boosts brain health

Besides some natural strategies... like fasting and exercise... one way to improve your levels is with NAD+ therapy:

Which Is Better: NAD+ Supplements or IV Drip Therapy?

There's a couple ways to directly add extra NAD+ into your health routine...

Oral Supplements or Needle-Administered IV Drips.

Both can be good options — here's main reasons to choose one over the other:

• Oral supplements are mostly taken for their ease of use. You can order them online and then integrate them into your routine how you see fit.

• IV drips require a little more effort, with the necessity to make an appointment at-home or in a clinic... but it's a good way to receive NAD+ in its most bioavailable form with the highest level of coenzyme activity possible, so that you may experience the benefits more fully.

Regardless of which you decide to go with... it's important to know that NAD+ could still use more research when it comes to long term effects in humans.

As with anything, use caution when introducing something new to your routine.

Who Is A Good Candidate For NAD+ Supplements?

It's important for anyone to talk with a healthcare professional to see if NAD+ therapy is a good idea...

But, in theory, adding NAD+ could be beneficial for any adult.

Besides the potential benefits listed above, it could also help with improvements in your sleep, delaying the onset chronic health conditions, and injury recovery.

So, there are specific use cases that NAD+ may be able to address...

But most people seek it out to help with symptoms related to the "grandfather of all health problems": Aging.

People with the following conditions may find NAD+ therapy helpful:

• Alzheimer's Disease

• Loss of normal energy

• Heart disease

• Diabetes

• Multiple Sclerosis

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Adrenal fatigue

• Memory loss

• Fibromyalgia

• Parkinson's disease

• Mitochondrial dysfunction

With the long list above, it's no mystery as to how NAD+ can promote longevity, for both our healthspan and lifespan.

If it can ease these kinds of symptoms, it only makes sense that NAD+ might help people live a better quality of life for longer.

One thing to remember: You don't have to be at an elderly age however to take advantage of this supplement...

You may find it a useful preventative measure, so that you can get in front of health hazards before disease becomes a problem.

Conclusion

To summarize (TL/DR):

• NAD+ is a unique molecule that naturally occurs in the human body.

• It plays a role in healthy aging and longevity, providing functions that assist with gene expression and cellular functioning.

• NAD+ levels drop as we age, so it might be helpful to take it as a supplement or IV drip therapy because of its potential to help revitalize our cells and health.

• Not only can this help relieve symptoms of many chronic health conditions, but it could also aid in preventing them from happening at all.

Let's take a moment to appreciate these microscopic molecules for keeping us working around the clock... 24/7... 365.
