The LA lifestyle can be a lot sometimes, even for locals. That’s why personalized wellness clinics are revolutionary and offer rejuvenating therapies that may help restore your energy and help reduce the appearance of aging. Say goodbye to stress and fine lines, and hello to energy boosts and a revitalized appearance at Next|Health.

But what exactly is NAD+, why is it helpful, and why is this IV therapy a good choice for your wellness goals? Let’s break down the answers to all these questions and more.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, is one of the most important compounds in your body, but it’s not something you always learn about in school. NAD+ is both an amino acid and a coenzyme. That means it’s necessary for various biochemical processes, such as the reduction and harnessing of cellular energy.

In a nutshell, the mitochondria (the organelles within your cells that serve as their powerhouses or energy generators) use NAD+ to ensure that their host cells have enough energy to carry out their daily functions. Therefore, more NAD+ allows the mitochondria to bolster cellular activity and regeneration capabilities.

In other words, NAD+ is important both for your daily energy levels and for your ability to produce or support organic tissue. The more NAD+ you have, the more energy you’ll feel, the faster you recover from injuries, and the quicker you’ll have muscle gains from your workout routine.

Yes, however, our bodies naturally produce less NAD+ as we get older. Our cells start to feel the effects of aging, which manifests into various physical symptoms like wrinkles, aches and pains, lower mental concentration capabilities, and more.

As you can see, NAD+ matters a great deal, especially when it comes to holistic wellness!

At Next|Health’s Century City clinic, we offer NAD+ IV therapy appointments. What do they include? Nothing less than a concentrated intravenous drip of highly effective NAD+ amino acids, plus a cocktail of other hydrating electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals.

Each NAD+ IV drip is infused into a hydration IV drip or lactated ringers that include electrolytes. On top of that, our NAD+ IV drip therapy appointments offer three varieties of NAD+ doses: 750 mg, 300mg, or a smaller 100mg push that can be added to any vitamin IV drip.

Each NAD+ IV drip therapy appointment takes around three and four hours, as proper NAD+ absorption demands a slow drip process. Even with this time limit, intravenous therapy is far superior to taking oral supplements. The ingredients in oral supplements often have less bioavailability than nutrients absorbed through the bloodstream because your stomach acids may dissolve vitamins and minerals during the digestive process.

If this is your first time, Next|Health’s IV therapy appointments are safe, comfortable, and relaxed.

When you sign up for an NAD+ IV drip therapy appointment, you’ll be asked to provide an ideal date and time for your schedule. Once your appointment date rolls around, simply show up, and you’ll be guided to a comfortable, state-of-the-art IV therapy lounge at our Century City clinic.

Once there, a registered nurse and a team of wellness professionals will set you up with your drip therapy. No matter which drip you choose, you’ll be offered the opportunity to take NAD+ Push: an optional add-on shot that provides an extra 100 mg of NAD+ to your drip therapy appointment.

After deciding, you can simply sit back, relax, and let the NAD+ drip to do its work. Since the appointment lasts for a few hours, our wellness professionals will provide you with a few extra snacks and beverages (all healthy, of course). You can keep your smartphone, bring books, or check out the television screens included at our IV lounge.

Throughout the process, our nurses and wellness professionals will check in on your status and make sure you stay comfortable and secure until the end. Because of the benefits of intravenous therapy, you’ll likely feel some of the benefits of NAD+ absorption within a few minutes of starting your appointment.

Fortunately, those benefits are long-lasting – you won’t need another NAD+ appointment for some time after a successful session. We encourage routine regimens to keep NAD levels optimized.

NAD+ therapy is at the cutting edge of restorative and refreshing therapy techniques, and it’s only available from personalized wellness clinics like Next|Health Century City. Don’t wait – contact us today and sign up for an appointment, so you give your cells the boost they need through NAD+ IV therapy.
