NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a crucial coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a significant role in energy production, DNA repair, and maintaining overall cellular health. As we age, NAD+ levels decline, which can lead to decreased energy, cognitive decline, and an increased risk of age-related diseases.

NAD+ therapy involves administering NAD+ to replenish the body’s levels of this vital coenzyme. At WLNS, we exclusively offer NAD+ therapy via subcutaneous injection (under the skin). This method allows for a convenient, more accessible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional intravenous (IV) NAD+ therapy.

NAD+ therapy through subcutaneous injections offers numerous potential benefits, including:

Increased energy levels: Enhances the body’s mitochondrial function, supporting cellular energy production.

Improved cognitive function: Boosts brain health, leading to better memory, focus, and mental clarity.

Anti-aging effects: Supports DNA repair and reduces cellular damage, helping slow the aging process.

Enhanced recovery: Assists in repairing cells and tissues, promoting faster recovery after physical exertion or injury.

Metabolic support: Optimizes metabolic efficiency, which may help with weight management.

Neuroprotection: Protects brain cells, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's.

Mood and mental health: Some patients report reduced anxiety, improved mood, and better overall stress management.

At WLNS, NAD+ is administered via subcutaneous injection. This is a quick and convenient method where NAD+ is injected under the skin, usually in areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms. Compared to IV therapy, subcutaneous injections allow for steady, controlled release of NAD+ into the body without the need for long clinic sessions or IV drips.

Subcutaneous NAD+ therapy offers several advantages over IV infusions:

Convenience: Subcutaneous injections can be administered in just a few minutes, without the need for lengthy IV sessions that can last 2-4 hours.

At-home administration: Patients can often self-administer subcutaneous NAD+ injections after training, reducing the need for frequent clinic visits.

Cost-effective: Subcutaneous NAD+ is generally more affordable than IV treatments, making it accessible for long-term therapy without breaking the bank.

Steady absorption: This method ensures consistent absorption of NAD+ over time, delivering sustained benefits without the peaks and troughs associated with IV infusions.

The frequency of NAD+ therapy depends on individual health goals:

For maintenance: Many patients opt for weekly or bi-weekly injections to maintain optimal NAD+ levels.

For anti-aging: Weekly sessions for several weeks, followed by a maintenance plan, are common for those seeking anti-aging benefits.

For high-performance or recovery goals: Patients aiming for enhanced physical performance or quicker recovery may benefit from more frequent injections (1-2 times per week) initially, followed by maintenance doses.

NAD+ therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Some potential side effects include:

Mild discomfort at the injection site

Temporary fatigue after the injection

Nausea in some cases, particularly with higher doses These side effects are usually mild and resolve quickly. If discomfort persists, the dose or frequency of injections may be adjusted.
