QUICK ANSWER
What is NAD+ therapy and how does it support energy and healthy aging?
NAD+ therapy is designed to support cellular energy production, DNA repair, metabolism, and healthy aging by replenishing NAD+ levels in the body. NAD+ plays an important role in mitochondrial function and cellular processes related to energy, recovery, and overall wellness. Treatment options may include IV infusion, injections, or patches following medical evaluation at Tucson Wellness MD.
What is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule your body produces naturally that supports cellular energy production, DNA repair pathways, and normal cellular function.
NAD+ therapy is used to supplement NAD+ availability under medical supervision.
It’s crucial for:
- Converting food into energy (ATP)
- Repairing DNA damage
- Supporting healthy brain function & mood
- NAD+ plays a role in cellular processes related to metabolism and repair.
- Improving metabolic health
As we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decline, which can leave you feeling fatigued, foggy, and less resilient. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. Therapy may be discussed with a healthcare provider to determine if it is appropriate.
