NAD+ Therapy
Supporting Energy at the Cellular Level
NAD+ plays an integral role in the body’s energy production. It’s a naturally occurring compound that also supports cellular repair. NAD+ is available as a prescribed therapy at Olivera Weight Loss.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. Coenzymes help enzymes carry out complex chemical reactions that keep your body functioning properly.
In addition to supporting cellular repair, NAD+ helps your cells convert the nutrients in the food you eat into energy you can use.
Why Patients Ask About NAD+
As we age, NAD+ levels in our cells naturally decline. At Olivera Weight Loss, NAD+ therapy is available to supplement NAD+ levels. Some research suggests that NAD+ therapy may help reduce fatigue and support cellular repair. This is one of the main reasons so many patients ask about NAD+ therapy.
Many people are interested in NAD+ because their energy levels feel lower than they should. Others feel that it takes an exceptionally long time to recover after exercise. Some patients are interested in NAD+ therapy because they’ve heard it can improve mental focus.
Research into NAD+ therapy is ongoing. It’s important to manage expectations, as current evidence hasn’t yet established that NAD+ therapy reliably improves energy, focus or recovery for everyone. Results vary from person to person. Because this is still an emerging area of research, we at Olivera Weight Loss share the facts about NAD+ therapy and outline the remaining questions so our patients can make informed decisions with reasonable expectations.
How NAD+ is Different
From Our boosters
Olivera Weight Loss offers boosters such as B12, Lipo-Max, Slim-Boost and Beauty-Boost. These boosters contain vitamins and other nutrients intended to support specific wellness goals.
NAD+ supports cellular energy metabolism; it does not replace the others.
When you consult with your provider at Olivera Weight Loss, you can discuss your goals and decide whether NAD+ therapy, a booster or another approach makes the most sense.
Who May Be a Good Fit for NAD+
Adults seeking additional support for energy or general wellness may be good candidates for NAD+ therapy. If you are currently seeing Olivera Weight Loss and are on a medication program or using boosters, you may want to consider adding NAD+ therapy to your regimen.
We screen patients to determine whether NAD+ therapy is right for them. Certain medical conditions or medications can affect whether treatment is appropriate for you. Your Olivera Weight Loss provider will review these factors with you after your screening and before prescribing NAD+.
