What Is NAD and Why Is It Important?

NAD is a critical molecule in every cell that:

• Converts nutrients into energy (ATP)
• Supports mitochondrial function
• Repairs DNA damage
• Regulates cell aging via sirtuins
• Influences neurotransmitter production, affecting mood and cognition

Maintaining healthy NAD levels can support overall wellness, energy, and cellular repair.

Types of NAD Therapy:

• IV (intravenous)
• Injections
• Oral supplements
• Nasal spray

This guide focuses on NAD injections.

Can You Take Too Much NAD?

NAD is generally safe; excess is naturally excreted. Overuse can cause mild, dose-dependent side effects, such as:

• Headaches, dizziness, or brain fog
• Irritability or mood swings
• Flushing or hot flashes
• Rapid heartbeat or chest tightness
• Nausea, stomach or muscle cramps

Tips to reduce side effects:

• Stay hydrated
• Eat a light meal before injections
• Rest after administration
• Avoid intense activity immediately afterward
