Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)
NAD+ is an important coenzyme for redox reactions in your cells and defends against oxidative stress. It is a cofactor for several enzymes involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis (glycolysis, glutaminolysis, fatty acid oxidation). As of now, we know of at least 300 different enzymes that require NAD+ to function properly. In short, your body can’t make energy without NAD+

Diagnostics
There aren’t any commercially available laboratory tests available. We do know that everyone, as they age, loses their ability to recycle their natural NAD+. Laboratory tests can reveal other causes of fatigue and are worth pursuing.
Treatment Options
There are several options for NAD+ supplementation. Oral supplements contain precursors for NAD+. NAD+ is available as an injection or infusion. New technology has made transdermal patches one of the most effective ways to boost your NAD+ levels.
Lifestyle Changes
Several activities have been shown to help with fatigue (one of the main symptoms of low NAD+). Aerobic exercise and strength training, counseling, Tai Chi, and mindful breathing.
Clinical Research
At ReGen, we follow the science. Here is a link to our library where you can find additional links to published research articles that support our approach to boosting your life.
How Does NAD+ Work?
Your body isn’t as efficient in recycling NAD+, so NAD+ levels decrease as you age. Low NAD+ levels during aging have been linked to the development and progression of aging-related diseases, including atherosclerosis, arthritis, hypertension, and cognitive decline.
Increased NAD+ levels help slow the advances of aging. NAD+ also helps with neurons and memory. NAD+ also helps decrease levels of inflammation.
Will NAD+ Therapy Work for Me?
If you are aging, have arthritis, brain fog or decreased energy, NAD+ may help give you a boost.
What Is the Process Involved with NAD+ Treatment?
We offer both Push Patches and Injectable NAD+. The NAD+ Push Patch comes as a powder. It is mixed with a small amount of saline, applied to an ion-specific patch with an electrode, and applied to the skin. Over 12 hours, NAD+ is absorbed into your system. We recommend 1 patch a day for 3 days and then 1 patch per week. The injectable form can be given as an intramuscular injection 2 times per week or intravenous infusion.
