U.S. regulatory status
Not an FDA-approved drug. Offered as IV therapy under physician supervision; ask during your consultation.
What it is
NAD+ is a helper molecule made from vitamin B3 and used in hundreds of chemical reactions.
How it is thought to work
It shuttles electrons in mitochondria and fuels repair enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs.
Animations simplify biology for teaching. They are not a claim that this peptide works this way in people.
What the research shows
Precursors such as NR and NMN reliably raise NAD+ levels in people. Clear benefits on hard health outcomes have not been shown yet.
Safety and considerations
IV infusions can cause flushing, chest tightness or nausea if given too fast. Sterile preparation matters.
Our position
Offered thoughtfully as part of our IV layer, with honest expectations.
