Could NAD+ be the key to living longer and healthier? In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down the science behind NAD+, its role in mitochondrial function, and the differences between oral and IV NAD+ supplementation. Discover how NAD+ impacts aging, energy levels, and overall health—and whether IV therapy is truly the most effective way to boost your NAD+ levels.

5 Key Takeaways
  1. NAD+ is essential for cellular energy and longevity. It plays a critical role in mitochondrial function, metabolism, and overall health.
  2. IV NAD+ provides faster and more effective absorption. Studies suggest that IV administration leads to a rapid and complete tissue uptake compared to oral forms.
  3. Oral NAD+ supplements rely on precursors. While supplements like NMN and NR can increase NAD+ levels, they may not be as effective as direct NAD+ infusions.
  4. NAD+ plays a role in addiction recovery. IV NAD+ has been used in protocols for substance withdrawal, potentially reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
  5. Resveratrol and other compounds support NAD+ metabolism. Certain antioxidants, like resveratrol, help regulate inflammation and mitochondrial biogenesis.
