The Benefits of NAD+ Therapy

NAD+ is short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide - a chemical compound that helps the cells in our body produce energy and maintain their health over time.  NAD is a naturally occuring co-enzyme of niacin that is responsible for converting the energy we get from food into cellular energy.  

NAD+ also plays a part in the structural health of our DNA and our body’s natural circadian rhythm.  As we age, the body’s NAD+ levels start to diminish.
