If you’ve been unusually sluggish or struggling to concentrate lately, you’re not alone. Many people, especially as they get older, report feeling physically drained and mentally foggy despite getting enough rest or eating well.
It’s easy to attribute these symptoms to stress or aging. They might be something more, though. They could signal declining levels of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is critical for energy production and cellular repair.
At Chicago Stem Cell Therapy and Exosomes, led by board-certified physicians Dr. Nael and Dr. Shazel Gharbi, we offer NAD+ therapy to help patients feel more alert and focused. Learn more about the science behind this treatment below.
What Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?
NAD+ is a coenzyme (a molecule that aids enzymes in carrying out specific biochemical reactions) found in every cell of your body. It converts nutrients into energy, supports mitochondrial function, and repairs DNA.
As we age or undergo chronic stress, NAD+ levels naturally decline. This drop can lead to fatigue, reduced cognition, and even visible signs of aging. Low NAD+ can contribute to symptoms like:
- Tiredness and low stamina
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Poor sleep quality
- Mood swings or low motivation
If you struggle with chronic fatigue or brain fog, NAD+ can be beneficial. It can also support those who are recovering from illness, burnout, or an injury.Â
How NAD+ Therapy Works
NAD+ therapy involves infusing this essential molecule directly into your bloodstream through IV treatments. This allows for enhanced absorption compared to oral supplements. The goal is to restore depleted NAD+ levels, which may improve:
- Cellular energy production
- Brain function and mental clarity
- Sleep regulation and mood balance
- Metabolism and detoxification
The process usually lasts between one and two hours, depending on the dosage administered. Most patients report feeling more energized, focused, and emotionally balanced within just a few sessions.
