NAD+
Supports cellular energy and natural repair processes.
NAD+ is something every cell in your body already uses to turn food into usable energy and to carry out routine repair. Levels drop as we age, which is why it has become a focus of longevity research.

How it works
Central to energy production
NAD+ sits at the heart of how your cells convert food into energy. Without enough of it, that process slows down.
Needed for routine repair
Several of the enzymes your body uses for maintenance and repair depend on NAD+ to work at all.
Declines with age
NAD+ levels fall substantially as we get older. Whether topping them back up changes how you age is still an open question, and worth saying plainly.
What the evidence says
The role NAD+ plays in the body is well understood and not in dispute. Whether supplementing it makes a measurable difference to healthy adults is much less certain. The reasoning is strong; the proof is not there yet.
What to expect
- Weeks 1 to 2
Energy and mental clarity are what people mention first, if they notice anything.
- Weeks 2 to 8
Effects usually level off. There is no test we can run to confirm it is working for you.
- Ongoing
Whether to continue is a shared decision based on whether you genuinely notice a difference.
Protocol
| Standard | Weekly injection |
|---|---|
| Administration | Slowly. Going too fast causes flushing, warmth and nausea |
| Review | Check-in at 4 and 12 weeks |
Take your time with the injection. Rushing it is the usual cause of flushing and nausea, and slowing down fixes it.
