What is NAD+?

---

NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) NAD+ is a coenzyme found in all living cells and plays a central role in metabolism. Think of it as a little molecular “shuttle” that carries electrons from one chemical reaction to another.

• Forms: 

1. NAD⁺— the oxidized form (ready to accept electrons) 

2. NADH— the reduced form (carrying electrons)

• Main job:

1. In cellular respiration, NAD⁺ picks up electrons from nutrients (like glucose) during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. 

2. Those electrons get delivered to the electron transport chain, where they help generate ATP (cellular energy). 

• Other roles:

1. Involved in DNA repair

2. Helps regulate cell signaling through enzymes like sirtuins and PARPs.

• Why it matters:

 NAD⁺ levels naturally decline with age, and researchers are studying whether boosting NAD⁺ might support healthy aging, energy metabolism, and resilience to stress.

Benefits of NAD+

1. NAD is a coenzyme found in all living cells that helps convert food into energy.

2. It supports DNA repair, cell signaling, and healthy metabolism.

3. Adequate NAD levels are linked to improved energy, brain function, and healthy aging.

Getting Started with NAD+ Therapy at Restore Medical

At Restore Medical, your safety and long-term health comes first, so we follow a precise, step-by-step process to make sure NAD+ therapy is right for you.

1. Initial Lab Work

Before you begin NAD+, we require a comprehensive lab panel.

• Why: This ensures we understand your current      health, identify any underlying issues, and confirm that NAD+ is a safe      option for you.
• How: We’ll draw your blood in-clinic or      coordinate with a local lab.

2. Your Treatment Plan

Once we have your lab results, your provider will:

• Review your results with you in detail.
• Answer any questions you have about NAD+.
• Create a personalized dosing schedule designed for      your needs and goal.

3. NAD+ Injections

NAD+ is typically given 3–4 times per week.

• Where: Injections go into the lower belly      fat (subcutaneous).
• Why: This method allows for steady absorption      and maximum benefit.

4. Ongoing Monitoring

Your health doesn’t stop at the first injection.

• We recheck your blood work every 4–6 months,      or as needed, to make sure your treatment stays safe and effective.
• Adjustments are made to your plan based on your      progress and lab results.

✅ Bottom line: At Restore Medical, we don’t just give you a quick fix, we partner with you for lasting results, safety, and optimal health!
