What Is NAD+?

Updated over 5 months ago

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) is a coenzyme your cells rely on to turn nutrients into usable energy. It acts like a shuttle, carrying electrons during metabolic reactions so your body can generate ATP, the fuel that powers everything from muscle contractions to brain signals. Beyond energy production, NAD⁺ helps repair damaged DNA, supports healthy neuron function, and keeps your stress response in check.

Why NAD⁺ Levels Matter

  • As we age, natural NAD⁺ reserves tend to drop.

  • Lower NAD⁺ can mean less cellular energy, slower recovery after workouts, and a general sense of fatigue.

  • Reduced NAD⁺ also correlates with diminished DNA repair capacity and weaker antioxidant defenses.

Benefits of a Compounded NAD⁺ Formulation

  1. Personalized Dosage

    • Tailor the strength to match a patient’s age, weight, and lifestyle.

    • Fine-tune levels over time—raising dose if energy remains low or tapering off as needed.

  2. Enhanced Absorption

    • Choose delivery methods that suit individual needs: sublingual tablets for ease of use or injectable solutions when rapid uptake is desired.

    • Combine NAD⁺ with complementary nutrients (like B vitamins or amino acids) to boost cellular uptake.

  3. Steadier Blood Levels

    • Customized formulations can maintain more constant NAD⁺ levels, avoiding peaks and troughs common with standard supplements.

  4. Flexible Formulation

    • Add supportive ingredients such as magnesium or glycine, based on a provider’s recommendation.

    • Adjust pH or excipients to improve tolerability for patients with sensitive stomachs.

Patients often report sharper mental clarity, quicker recovery from exercise, and more consistent energy throughout the day when using a compounded NAD⁺ regimen that’s crafted just for them.
