NAD
Anti-Aging and NAD+
For far too long anti-aging treatments have been aimed at improving visible features. NAD+ IV therapy targets the true mechanism of aging which is cellular repair and regeneration, by replenishing the levels of this vitally important molecule. NAD+ therapy has been shown to reduce stress, depression, and anxiety scores, while improving motivation, cognitive function, mental clarity, athletic performance, and metabolic markers such as obesity, cardiac issues, and insulin resistance.
NAD+ replenishment therapy first garnered attention due to its effectiveness in helping to mitigate cravings and withdrawal symptoms in people struggling to overcome drug and alcohol dependency, leading to a higher percentage of successful outcomes. Many within the medical community have begun to utilize this therapy within the wellness & anti-aging space to help boost the body’s natural restorative power.
What is NAD+
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential molecule in found in every cell. It plays a critical role in cellular function and affects energy, metabolism, and cognitive function. NAD+ is responsible for many critical functions such as immunity, protection against cellular damage, and DNA repair. NAD+ is key to cellular metabolism and helps turn food into the energy the body needs to function.
NAD+ levels, like many things, decrease within our bodies as we age. Lifestyle habits such as overeating and excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to a decline in NAD+. Low levels of NAD+ are linked to premature aging skin, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, and vision loss. NAD+ replenishment has also shown promise to those struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and a sense of burn-out, as these chronic stressors alter the brain over time making it more difficult to control emotion and maintain focus.
NAD+ is also the linchpin of mitochondrial energy. Mitochondria are our cells’ energy supply and there is strong evidence that diminished mitochondrial function leads to everything from heart failure to neurodegeneration, or the degeneration of the nervous system, especially the neurons in the brain. Without NAD+, mitochondria do not generate energy. We know a healthy supply of NAD+ molecules are required for the mitochondria to function well.
Treadwell NAD+ IV Replenishment Therapy
At Treadwell, we provide high-dose NAD+ replenishment intravenously to ensure 100% absorption and bioavailability, unlike oral supplementation where dosage and absorption rate are significantly lower as it must go through the digestion process and filter through the liver.
Not all NAD+ is the same. We source our NAD+ from a highly regarded 503B pharmacy that is registered with the DEA and FDA, and is held to high regulatory standards.
While not a requirement, we recommend multiple treatments within a one-week time frame to adequately elevate NAD+ levels within the body. Once this replenishment cycle is complete, one can get maintenance doses administered monthly through an IV, or weekly through injections. Higher efficacy and noticeable benefits come with time and generally take multiple treatments. While some report favorable and observable results after one treatment, we want to temper expectations as everyone is biologically different and there are a number of factors influencing outcomes. The dosage, as well as the number and frequency of your treatments depend on your specific objectives. Our protocol allows for up to ten treatments over fifteen days, of up to 1,000mg per treatment.
Treatment sessions are offered in multiple dosing options to help you reach your treatment objectives. We recommend a max dose of 500 mg if this is your first time receiving NAD+ replenishment therapy. There are savings when purchasing a 4-pack option.

FAQ
No, however we recommend you avoid foods high in fat or sugar prior to your infusion. We also recommend you avoid alcohol the day before and the day of your treatment in order to maximize the benefits and support cellular uptake.
We recommend relaxing or bringing reading material. You’re welcome to work although you may experience some discomfort especially during your first couple NAD+ drips. We have high speed wi-fi for your convenience.
It is important to note there are several factors that affect treatment response. Some report noticeable results in mental clarity and energy the same day of their first treatment. Others require multiple treatments to sufficiently elevate NAD+ levels before experiencing favorable results. Cellular damage is a gradual process that yields no noticeable sensation from one week to the next. Fortunately, cellular repair through NAD+ replenishment therapy is a quicker process. For these reasons we recommend a loading dose consisting of multiple daily sessions as close together as possible, followed up by 1 IV treatment monthly, or weekly injections.
Yes, NAD+ is a naturally occurring substance in your body. Patients undergoing treatment for substance dependency have tolerated 1,000 mg administered daily for up to 10 days consecutively.
Studies suggest that low levels of NAD+ are associated with many symptoms of aging such as low energy, inability to think clearly, and diminished memory, as well as increase the risk for chronic issues such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule and like many things, our natural levels decrease as we get older. Lifestyle habits such as poor diet, aging, stress, sleep issues, and the use of drugs or alcohol can speed up the decline in NAD+ levels, hence the aging process. On the reverse, things like high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, intermittent fasting diets, and caloric restriction can raise the levels of NAD in your body.
