NAD+ Amino Acid Therapy in Austin

Feel better, live better, and get the most out of life.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a cofactor — or helper molecule — found in each cell of your body.

The oxidized form (NAD+) aids several biochemical reactions key to healthy aging: DNA and cellular repair, energy production, and more.

By replenishing this essential molecule through NAD+ amino acid therapy, you’ll increase your capacity for these important anti-aging processes.

Forum Health Austin can deliver NAD+ through IV administration and oral supplements.

Brain health is key to feeling youthful. NAD+ improves production of PGC-1-alpha (a protein that appears to protect cells against oxidative stress) and repairs mitochondrial function in the brain. This is believed to help prevent Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

NAD+ activates sirtuins proteins. These have been linked to DNA repair, stress resistance, reduced inflammation, and healthy cellular aging. NAD+ is also needed to turn off genes related to accelerated aging processes.

Your body uses NAD+ to power metabolism. It enables the mitochondria to convert food into cellular energy — needed to sustain all bodily functions.

Treatment for Anxiety & Depression

An imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain — gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin, and dopamine — can cause anxiety or depression.

NAD+ helps balance these neurotransmitters. But it can be depleted when your body is dealing with illness or stress. Supplementation may provide relief.

Other Benefits of NAD+ Therapy

• Sleep health: NAD+ is connected to circadian rhythms. Balancing this cofactor may help you restore normal sleep cycles and hunger patterns.
• Addiction management: Sirtuins protect against oxidative stress, which is linked to cravings for substances like opioids, alcohol, and tobacco.
• Cancer prevention: NAD+ helps your cells repair DNA, potentially reducing the persistence of cancer-causing mutations.
• Heart health: High levels of NAD+ may help reduce stiffness in the aorta, lowering systolic blood pressure in adults at risk of heart disease.
• Muscle function: NAD+ may promote healthy muscle aging, improving muscle function and strength.
• Focus and concentration: Increasing your ratio of NAD+ to NADH (reduced NAD) protects brain cells from free radicals.
• Cell death prevention: NAD+ treatment may prevent cell death and energy failure caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI).
