But what exactly is NAD+, and how can it benefit you? Let’s break it down:
Quick answer
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule your body produces naturally to power cellular energy, support DNA repair, and slow age-related decline. Levels drop as you age. Tucson Wellness MD patients use NAD+ therapy via IV infusion, injection, or patch to restore those levels under medical supervision.

What is NAD+?
NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a vital molecule found in every cell of your body. It acts as a crucial coenzyme that fuels the essential functions of your mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of your cells.
NAD+ also plays a key role in communication between your cell’s nucleus and mitochondria, ensuring that the energy production and repair processes that keep you healthy run smoothly.
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.
