NAD+ IV Benefits for Energy and Longevity
Dr. Maria Chuquer, MD, FRCPC
At Xthetics Face & Body Sculpt in Calgary, we offer medical-grade NAD+ IV Drip treatments that go straight to the source, delivering fast-absorbing support right to your bloodstream. Think of it as a cellular-level recharge.
So, What Exactly Is NAD+?
NAD+ (short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme, a helper molecule that’s essential to your health. It’s involved in some of the most important processes in your body, including energy production, DNA repair, brain function, and cellular metabolism.
But here’s the catch, NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age. This decrease can impact how you feel and function, from brain fog and lower energy to slower recovery after stress or illness. That’s where NAD+ IV therapy comes in.
“By replenishing NAD+ levels, especially through NMN supplementation, we may be able to slow, or even reverse, certain aspects of aging, helping to restore cellular energy, improve DNA repair, and support youthful cellular function.”
Dr. David Sinclair
