In-depth article by Dr. Fabrizio David, regenerative medicine specialist at Image Regenerative Clinic. Supporting NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) levels through targeted IV therapies is now considered one of the most promising strategies in the field of longevity. This isn’t a passing trend, but a clinical approach backed by growing scientific evidence, capable of enhancing cellular energy, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and oxidative stress response—key processes in slowing biological aging.
Like any truly effective therapy, NAD requires careful medical assessment, personalized protocols, and a structured clinical setting to ensure real, safe, and lasting results.
Not a Miracle Cure, But a Powerful Tool
NAD is not an over-the-counter supplement or a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a vital molecule for cellular metabolism that naturally declines with age and in the presence of chronic conditions. Restoring or supplementing its levels can translate into increased vitality, improved stress management, faster recovery, and enhanced cognitive and physical performance. But timing, dosage, and method of administration are crucial—and must always be determined under expert medical guidance.
At Image Regenerative Clinic, every treatment begins with a comprehensive analysis of the patient’s metabolic and inflammatory status, including:
- Complete hematochemical and metabolic panel;
- Evaluation of key micronutrients involved in NAD synthesis (vitamin B3, B12, folic acid, vitamin D, zinc);
- Markers of oxidative stress and inflammation;
- Indicators of mitochondrial function;
Only through this detailed workup can we determine whether NAD IV therapy is appropriate and set up a protocol that is truly effective.
NAD IV Therapy and an Integrated Approach
When indicated, intravenous NAD therapy allows for rapid and direct absorption, with noticeable effects often after just a few sessions. Depending on individual needs, it may be combined with custom infusions of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, all tailored to the patient’s specific metabolic profile.
This therapeutic strategy is part of a broader, holistic program that may include:
