    NAD+: The Hidden Anti-Aging Hero in Downtown Chicago IL

    NAD+ is a hidden hero waiting on the sideline. It's a coenzyme that collects energy from metabolic reactions so we can convert it to ATP – the high-energy molecule our cells use to fuel our actions.

    Concept: NAD+

    NAD+ is the active coenzyme form of Vitamin B3 and is vital for various physiological functions. It extracts energy from food and its levels naturally decline as we age, contributing to decreased metabolism and reduced cellular repair.

    Enhancing the body's natural repair mechanisms.
    Mitigating chemical stress and inflammation.
    Boosting cognitive function.
    Promoting a healthier metabolism.
    Essential for converting food into usable cellular energy (ATP).

    Action 1: Regular Exercise

    Exercise stimulates the production of NAD+ in the body, contributing to its numerous health benefits and supporting cellular repair processes.

    • 1Cardiovascular activity such as running or cycling.
    • 2Resistance Training, including weightlifting and bodyweight exercises.
    • 3Yoga: A combination of bodyweight resistance and stretching.
    • 4Incorporate exercise into your daily routine for increased NAD+ levels.

    Action 2: Add NAD+ To Your Diet

    Certain foods are rich in NAD+ precursors, which your body can use to synthesize NAD+. We also offer intracellular NAD+ testing and supplementation.

    • 1Niacin (Vitamin B3): Found in poultry, fish, and nuts.
    • 2Tryptophan: Found in turkey, chicken, and tofu.
    • 3NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide): Supplements that directly increase NAD+.
    • 4Step 1: Test to see if you have low NAD+.
    • 5Step 2: Offer IV therapy or supplements suitable for you.
    • 6Step 3: Re-test to ensure levels have increased.
