Nowadays, celebrities, athletes and high plane lips have a well -being hacking: NAD. It is PEP-UP DU JOUR.
NAD, a decisive molecule of healthy cells, is a nicotine amide adenine din -nucleotide, which plays an essential role in the metabolism and provides energy to the body.
We need an appropriate level of NAD to maintain a living state, and our bodies naturally produce it. But as we get older, we make it less (some are research Suggestions for decline in the mid -40’s can slow down cell repair and regeneration.
NAD is not new. This molecule was found 100 years ago and scientists have been exploring longevity potential for more than 20 years. But recently The development of biotechnology has previously brought fringe wellness practices to the mainstream. Considering the rapid popularity of GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic, it was once considered an experimental peptide. NAD is:
New markets for NAD+ injection (promise to vigorous energy, appearance and immune system) are celebrity fans. Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Gabby Windey, Joe Rogan and Biohackers Ben Greenfield and Dave Asprey.
NBA All -Star, Kevin Love, recently told me. “I really felt it cognitive. I flourished after a few days of IV drip.”
Loves, who reached a 36 -year -old twilight, said they were engrossed every month to increase the NAD level every month. “I will really do that forever,” he said.
This injection now provides more and more options from advanced treatments to fast pickups through the supplemented brands established with MED SPAS.
So I decided to try it myself.
Anticipation
IV and shots to improve NAD are popular trends with high -performance athletes and CEOs. The popularity of drugs such as GLP-1 has become more and more mainstream. Momo Takahashi for BI
My injection adventure is provided by Niagen Biosciences, a research company led by Hollywood producer Rob Fried.
The company, which purchased exclusive rights to several NAD innovations in 2012, is currently launching various types of NAD boosters as a patented supplement.
Within a few minutes of arrival at the Hudson Yards Equinox Hotel in Manhattan Midtown, I am one of the most popular longevity supplements in the market, which is connected to the pharmaceutical grade IV that accidentally injects my veins. When NIAGEN said it can be free for the first time, this treatment that is not in the clinic is now $ 799 (for 125mg capacity) and $ 1,500 (for 500 mg).
I’m not nervous, but I’m trying to recognize a sense. I have heard that as the body processes the injection, headaches, dizziness, cramps, and chest pressure or digestion can be experienced.
At first I do not feel it by star. I came in about 45 minutes and went out. Most of them are comfortable and comfortable with the sofa with brilliant views of the Hudson River.
My cells are still doing their work because I am in my 30s and I’m healthy. Of course, the atmosphere is great, but what’s actually happening?
I asked Charles Brenner, a major researcher and chief scientific manager of Niagen Biosciences.
He said that NAD injection could already be helpful for healthy people. In anecdotetic, he knew that people who replenished NAD had less colds, popped out faster due to illness or injuries, and their hair and nails grow faster.
Therefore, the demand for people who need to be performed is required from professional athletes who work hard to recover from jet delays.
Brenner said, “If you strengthen and supplement your NAD system, you can work as if the repair and anti -inflammatory process is a newborn with an almost unlimited repair capacity.

But what Brennner is really excited is a potential long -term effect. Studies show that topping NAD levels can help improve heart health and liver health, support metabolism, and prevent the brain from aging.
Brenner said NAD is a promising treatment for Parkinson’s disease. small research Increasing NAD in the brain suggests that it may reduce symptoms such as Parkinson’s progress, cognitive impairment and pain. More exams are in progress.
Not all NAD boosters are created the same.
One of the unique features of the NAD is that it is too big to absorb directly, so you can’t take the molecule to increase the level.
NAD supplements and powder typically include a precursor that converts NMN (nicotine amide mono nucleotide) or NR (Nicotinamide riboside).
My injection is a specific type of NR patented by Niagen Biosciences. (Brennner is one of the main researchers of NR to show that NAD levels can be safely and effectively improved.)
The dose I get is a pharmaceutical rating of the FDA registration facility, and purity and efficacy are tested by a third -party laboratory.
As with most of the non -controlled supplement markets, some NAD products contain fillers, ingredients or doses that are different from the label and are not the basis for evidence.
For my injection, I quickly check in by the nurse through a quick remote health check -in. Supplements are considered safe for healthy adults.
If you have existing conditions (kidney problems, allergies, pregnancy), you should consult your doctor before receiving NAD injection due to lack of data. Some evidence shows that NADs may interact with insulin, so diabetics may need to adjust the dose.
NAD gave me a boost -I knew why the athletes liked it.
I didn’t feel much during injection, but it came out clearly as I had a strong cup of coffee. Momo Takahashi for BI
As I walked to Equinox in a rainy spring evening, the first thing I noticed was that it was little bothersome in the air. It was not unpleasant, but it is actually much warmer.
According to those who have published and those who have NAD boosting IV, it is common to cause overwhelming heat and flush skin that can be inconvenient for popular NAD injections. I felt a gentle warming sense, but there was no unpleasant sense. (Niagen IV has less side effects and less inflammation. Preliminary printing In a company that has not yet been posted in the peer reviewed journals.
Another noticeable change after IV is that much more people felt as if you were drinking a glass of strong coffee. In general, I will face the slump at 4 pm. I felt the beginning of the brain fog before the session.
I can see why higher performers like it.
Of course, placebo effects can play a role when dealing with yourself with advanced well -being experiences. Brenner admitted this.
But a few hours after the injection, I felt that I had improved enough to eliminate some of my natural skepticism about all health fashion. It was the most enjoyable experience I connected to IV.
NAD is at least not for everyone
Hudson Yards Equinox is a luxurious experience and is also a lot of NAD injection. But I started to approach more through research. Momo Takahashi for BI
Currently, NAD IV is still in the area of luxury self -management and is a slight condition.
It provided about four clinics in the country before the infectious diseases compared to hundreds of clinics today. It took time in the past, but now it doesn’t take more than lunch time.
Nevertheless, the price table is still high. In reality, the bombing of $ 100 or $ 1,000 a month does not reach most people. (There is a big difference in the clinic in terms of taking and pricing, and there is no clear regulation, so the price may be very high.)
NAD-boosting supplements are cheaper than injection. The 30 -day supply is about $ 116.
If it is out of the budget, the good news is that you can simply improve your NAD level by simply walking, resting enough, managing stress, and eating foods such as fish, broccoli and nuts.
That’s why I don’t rush to be re-linked as I enjoy IV-ing like a star. Now I will continue to focus on the basics, such as doing a lot of exercise, eating well, and getting enough sleep.
