True Story: Dementia-Related Memory Loss Restored 50% OVERNIGHT

Dementia is a serious condition that affects over 55 million people worldwide, with nearly 10 million new cases each year1.

The impact of dementia goes far beyond the person who is diagnosed; it also deeply affects their families, who struggle with the emotional and mental pain of seeing their loved ones’ memories fade away.

Watching someone you care about lose the ability to do everyday things, forget important moments, or fail to recognize familiar faces can be incredibly hard. 

Families often feel helpless and overwhelmed, desperately searching for ways to restore what has been lost.

But there is hope.

Take Marshall, a 94-year-old who completely forgot how to use his phone and computer after being diagnosed with dementia.

After just one night of using Vitality NAD+ Booster, a supplement that contains nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) precursors, Marshall’s memory began to improve, and he started to feel more like himself again. 

His story shows that it’s possible to regain lost memories and improve mental clarity.

We hope that you or your loved ones can also benefit from optimizing your NAD+ levels.

Read Marshall’s story below.

a1 3

I’m not sure what I expected, but…

I was surprised when my dear friend’s cognition declined dramatically overnight at age 94. 

Sure, there had been some memory lapses over the course of his 93rd year.  

He occasionally forgot his house keys when he went out. He didn’t always remember everything he had driven to the grocery store to buy. (Yes, he was still driving safely at age 92 and beyond.)  

Those lapses were the kind that everyone I know over the age of 40 has complained about, myself included. 

Still, the signs of Marshall’s cognitive decline did not progress over the course of weeks or months, as I had believed they would, were they to happen at all.

I had hoped that he was past some imaginary statistical cutoff date by which I had presumed dementia would happen. I had read somewhere that by the age of 80, 1 in 6 people experienced some degree of dementia. 

a2 3

When my dear friend reached and passed his 90th birthday with a mind sharp as a tack I assumed he was all clear. 

By the time he celebrated his 94th birthday, I relished the fact that he remembered things better than many 40-year-olds and he still “figured stuff out” (his phrase) really well for a person of any age. 

Give him a problem to solve and if he hadn’t done so by day’s end, he would always spring out of bed the next day declaring, “I’ve got it!” having solved the problem throughout the night. 

Marshall’s great mind and good memory were perfectly intact until one fateful day. 

That day I discovered him sitting on his bed staring quizzically at his phone. 

I asked him, “What are you doing, M?” He looked at me, bewildered, and replied, “I don’t know.”

I pressed him further. “What do you mean, ‘You don’t know’?  Are you trying to call someone on your phone?” I asked.

“I’m trying to figure that out,” he told me. “I’m working on it.” 

His words weren’t making sense to me. Working on what? What did he mean?

“Marshall,” I began, worried, “What do you mean ‘working on it”? What’s to work on? Just make the call if that’s what you’re trying to do.”

He looked at me with a blank expression and replied, “I don’t know how.”

I flashed back to years earlier when a very beloved actor friend of mine had called me at my apartment in New York City. He was talking to me in disconnected, somewhat incoherent phrases that I couldn’t understand. 

Clearly, something was wrong. 

I asked him where he was and he somehow managed to tell me with words that made some sense that he was at the nearby Apple Store. 

I told him to stay where he was, that I would be right over. I quickly threw on a jacket and ran the four blocks to the store. 

I found my friend sitting at a display bench downstairs in the store with an Apple clerk who seemed concerned.

My friend was insisting that she sell him a new iPhone, which she explained to me she didn’t want to do because his current model phone was working just fine. 

I told her to cancel the order, which she didn’t want to place anyway. 

I asked him a few questions, which he answered only somewhat coherently. 

I apologized to the salesgirl and walked my friend out of the store. I found a bench where he could sit comfortably while I called his family at their home. 

They were understandably concerned when I told them about his condition. 

They were in another state but together we made the decision that I should get him to the nearest Urgent Care. 

The staff there quickly diagnosed a suspected stroke and, with their help, I hastily got my friend to a nearby hospital.

He spent a week in the hospital and recovered, but things could have gone in a whole other direction had I not jumped into action when I did.

Was Marshall suffering the effects of a stroke? I determined to keep a close eye on him throughout that entire day. 

I observed him sitting and staring into space from time to time, as though lost in thought. 

When I asked him what he was thinking about, he said, “I’m figuring something out,” and he would return to gazing off into the distance with a vacant stare.

Later that day I discovered him sitting at his computer, staring at the screen, immobile. 

“What are you doing, Marshall?” I asked him. 

“I don’t know. I can’t answer that,” he said, clearly frustrated and confounded.

a3 2

From one day to the next my friend had forgotten how to use both his cellphone and his computer. 

Worse, he seemed “not all there” mentally. 

There’s more but I won’t go into the details, which included some bathroom and basic walking issues. Suffice it to say he had devolved significantly over just 24 hours. 

Over the next weeks, I took my friend from doctor to specialist to lab to ascertain exactly what was going on. 

A brain MRI (not fun for him at all) ruled out any suspected brain mass/tumor but…

a4 2

A battery of cognitive tests with a gerontology professional confirmed that he was experiencing mild to moderate dementia. 

Watching him take that cognition test was painful because questions that he would have aced just the week before gave him great difficulty in answering. 

He couldn’t even begin to draw the clock face requested in the test. 

A former whiz with numbers, he was stumped when asked to count back from 100 in 7’s. (100, 93, 86, etc.) His frustration turned to anger and eventually, he refused to participate in completing the test. 

Once home, I was shocked to discover that Marshall had completely mixed up his daily meds. 

As a forever health freak and gym rat, he had always been compliant and rigorous with taking vitamins and the few prescriptions he was on. 

He had gone on his first prescription meds just a few years before when diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer.

He was doing ok with that disease, given his age and the severity of such a condition. 

The health equity he had built up over decades of clean, healthy living stood him in good stead to do battle with cancer.

He never missed a prescribed dose of anything the oncologist ordered and his vitamin game was strong after years of taking a full regimen of fitness and bodybuilder supplements. 

However, a review of his medicine cabinet that day showed that things had gone very awry.

Some bottles that I knew should be there were missing and others contained far too many pills than they should have since the date of fulfillment at the pharmacy. 

When I asked him if he had been taking his pills regularly, as he had always done, he looked at me with that new vacant, uncomprehending stare.

I took possession of all bottles from his bathroom shelf and called all of his prescribing doctors to review his treatment plan and get him back on track. 

I took over the administration of meds and supplements. I felt lucky to have discovered the issue when I did. 

Fortunately, doing some math on the bottles and the number of pills inside them proved that the pill problem had occurred concurrently with the cellphone and computer problem. Suddenly and recently.

With a heavy heart, I booked tours of Assisted Living homes in advance of what I was sure would soon be the need for 24/7 memory care. 

And then I had a thought. 

What if Vitality NAD+ Booster, a NAD supplement formula and known neurotransmitter, could help?

a5 2

It is a favorite of mine and so many others for energy mental clarity and more. Why not give it a try? 

That night I gave Marshall his first dose of the clinically-proven powder. The next morning? Nothing short of a medical miracle.

I could kick myself for not having recorded the “before” Vitality NAD+ Booster Marshall to the man who woke up that next day. 

When I claim a 50% improvement in his cognition OVERNIGHT it sounds preposterous even to me!

Except I witnessed it. I continue to see it daily. 

Has he suddenly regained 100% of his memory and ability to solve problems and think clearly? 

Most definitely not. He is, however…

At least 50-65% cognitively recovered. 

He knows how to use his phone, he’s back at the computer, those bathroom issues are pretty much gone, and he’s using his walker and cane as well as he formerly had. 

a6 2

He is now back in charge of his meds and supplements because he began to remind me to give him doses as he remembered what to take and when.

I check daily to make sure he has not forgotten anything, of course,  but so far, so good. 

I do mix up his Vitality NAD+ Booster for him and give him two scoops daily. 

When he sees me coming with it, his eyes light up and he says, “Dr. She’s stuff?” and I shake my head “yes” in acknowledgment. 

I think he looks forward to it because he knows the good it does him.

During a doctor visit with his Primary Care Physician yesterday, the doctor acknowledged the improvement he saw in Marshall. 

I told him what I had added to the program and he said, “Well great, there is good data on that supplement.” 

He’s one of the physicians I had taken Marshall to see to evaluate the sudden mental decline.

He’s the same doctor who had told me back then several months ago that Marshall could not be left alone anymore. 

“If he can’t use his phone and he gets in trouble, it’s a big problem,” he advised.  

Plus, he mentioned the stove incident that had happened during that awful week: 

Marshall had turned on a gas burner that didn’t light and some gas fumes escaped before I noticed what was happening. 

I’m grateful for however many months, hopefully, even years, that this product will enable my dear friend to enjoy his mind and his memory. 

If it stopped working tomorrow, I would still be grateful today for the past six weeks of improvement.

Dementia moves in and makes itself at home with all too many families today. It’s a significant global health challenge. 

Here are some key statistics highlighting the fact that it’s not “if” it’s “when” a friend, neighbor, work colleague, or family member of yours may experience this heartbreaking condition:

  1. Global Prevalence: As of 2023, more than 55 million people worldwide are living with dementia. This number is expected to nearly triple by 2050, reaching 139 million due to aging populations.
  1. Incidence: Around 10 million new cases of dementia are diagnosed each year. That equates to one new case every 3 seconds.
  1. Age Factor: Dementia primarily affects older adults. About 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 have dementia. However, early-onset dementia, which occurs before the age of 65, accounts for about 9% of cases.
  1. Economic Impact: The global cost of dementia is estimated to be over $1 trillion annually, including healthcare costs, informal care, and loss of productivity. This figure is projected to increase significantly in the coming decades.
  2. Mortality: Dementia is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In many countries, it ranks as the second or third leading cause of death among older adults.
  1. Gender Disparity: Women are disproportionately affected by dementia. Approximately two-thirds of people with dementia are women, partly because women tend to live longer than men.
  1. Alzheimer’s Disease: Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-70% of all cases.

These statistics underscore the importance of research, prevention, and support for those affected by dementia. 

For those dealing with this problem, knowing that there’s a supplement that might, just might, mitigate some of the memory loss, should be welcome news.

In my opinion, Vitality NAD+ Booster is worth a try.

NAD IV Therapy: How Often Should You Get It?

If you’ve already tried NAD IV therapy or are thinking about it, how do you know if it’s truly working for you?

If you’re not seeing the energy boost or vitality you hoped for, you might not be getting enough NAD from your current routine. 

Read on to find out how NAD IV therapy works, why the frequency of your sessions matters, and whether it’s truly the right choice for you to achieve lasting energy and vitality.


In this article, we discuss: 

  • How NAD IV therapy affects your body and whether your current routine is enough to keep you energized

  • How the right frequency can make or break your results

  • A simple yet more effective alternative to frequent NAD sessions that delivers long-lasting benefits at the cellular level

You’ve heard the buzz about NAD IV therapy and its powerful benefits—more energy, sharper focus, and a youthful glow. 

But here’s the million-dollar question: How often should you get it to truly reap its benefits? 

Too little, and you might not feel the full impact; too much, and you could be overdoing it. 

The right frequency can boost your energy levels and support long-term vitality, helping you feel more focused and thriving daily.

What is NAD IV Therapy?

7vdeeyix 1

NAD IV therapy is a rejuvenating treatment that delivers a concentrated dose of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) into your bloodstream. 

It’s a top pick for those who want to raise their NAD levels quickly, such as in cases of severe NAD depletion or chronic fatigue.

Low NAD levels can speed up cellular aging and mess with your energy production and DNA repair1

In NAD IV therapy, a sterile saline solution with NAD is slowly infused into your vein.

This method ensures that NAD is delivered directly to your cells without delaying absorption through the digestive system for more immediate results.

NAD IV therapy is known to boost energy levels, making you feel more vibrant and alive. 

It also helps fight aging, promoting healthier skin, reducing wrinkles, and even improving sleep. 

Beyond that, NAD IV therapy can enhance cognitive function, improve memory, and increase mental clarity. 

Factors That Influence the Frequency of NAD IV Therapy

9s3iv3v4 1

Everyone is different, so how often you should get NAD IV treatments can vary based on a few key factors, including…

Individual Health Goals

Your health goals play a major role in determining how often you should undergo NAD IV therapy. 

Whether you’re targeting aging, boosting brain power, or recovering from a condition, you’ll need a different session frequency.

If you’re using NAD IV therapy mainly for anti-aging, you might need fewer treatments than someone using it for cognitive enhancement.

A personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific goals is essential for getting the best results.

Current NAD Levels

Your baseline NAD levels are another crucial factor in determining how often you should receive therapy. 

If your NAD levels are already low, you might need more frequent sessions to build them back up. 

Conversely, if your levels are relatively high, less frequent treatments might be sufficient. 

To get an accurate picture of where you stand, you can take an Intracellular NAD Test

This test measures your NAD levels, helping you and your healthcare provider create a treatment plan that’s just right for you.

Age and Lifestyle Factors

As we age, our NAD levels naturally decline, making more frequent treatments beneficial. 

Older adults may need more frequent NAD treatments2 to restore and maintain optimal levels, while younger people might only need treatments every few months. 

Additionally, factors like diet, stress levels, and lifestyle habits, such as exercise or lack thereof—can accelerate NAD depletion. 

If your lifestyle is particularly demanding or your diet isn’t as balanced as it could be, you might need NAD IV therapy more often. 

Overall Health and Medical Conditions

Your overall health and any underlying medical conditions also matter in deciding how often you should receive NAD IV therapy. 

Chronic illnesses or certain health conditions may require more frequent treatments to see effective results. 

For instance, those with neurodegenerative diseases might benefit from more regular NAD infusions3 over a more extended period to help manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. 

Your healthcare provider can help you determine the best approach based on your unique health needs.

Recommended Frequency for Different Goals

8cfqetux 1

To hit your specific health goals, here’s a quick guide to the recommended NAD IV therapy frequency for different needs:

For General Wellness and Anti-Aging

If you’re looking to maintain overall health and slow the aging process, NAD IV therapy can be a powerful tool. 

You might begin with three infusions every other week4, then move to a monthly maintenance session. 

For the best results, many start with 1-2 sessions per week for the first 4-6 weeks5.

After that, a maintenance schedule of sessions every 4-6 weeks is usually recommended to keep NAD levels stable, supporting cellular repair and energy production. 

For Cognitive Enhancement and Mental Clarity

The brain demands a lot of energy to function at its best.

If you’re looking to enhance cognitive performance or prevent decline, starting with a more frequent schedule, such as once or twice a week6 for the first month, is often recommended. 

This can rapidly increase NAD levels in your brain, leading to better focus and memory. 

After this initial period, you can reduce the frequency to one session every two to four weeks to keep your mind sharp.

For Athletic Performance and Recovery

Athletes and individuals who engage in intense physical activity can benefit from NAD IV therapy to enhance endurance and speed up recovery. 

You might only need a few sessions throughout your training7 and then another right before big events like a marathon.

Once you’ve built up your NAD levels, you might reduce the frequency to once a month, maintaining peak performance and recovery.

NAD therapy aids in muscle recovery and reduces fatigue, helping you perform at your best. 

For Chronic Conditions or Severe NAD Depletion

If you’re dealing with a chronic illness or have significant NAD depletion, more frequent NAD IV therapy sessions may be necessary. 

In these cases, starting with two to three sessions per week8 can provide the needed boost to your NAD levels, helping manage symptoms and support overall recovery. 

As your condition improves, you may gradually reduce the frequency of treatments.

However, maintaining regular sessions, such as once a week or bi-weekly, can be crucial for long-term management of chronic conditions.

NAD IV Therapy vs Oral NAD Supplement: Which Works Best?

sggfdcyi 1

When boosting your NAD levels, both NAD IV therapy and oral supplements can get the job done—but which one is right for you?

If you’re looking for a quick, powerful boost—perhaps to address more severe symptoms—NAD IV therapy might be the way to go. 

However, it’s not without its drawbacks. 

Because the NAD+ molecules are too large to pass through cell membranes on their own, this method primarily benefits the bloodstream, only offering a rapid boost. 

However, a study published by Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience found that NAD levels in the blood plasma didn’t increase until a few hours into the infusion. 

Initially, NAD broke down in the first two hours, so it had little effect on blood levels9.

Plus, NAD IV therapy can be expensive—around $200 per session—and if your treatment plan calls for multiple sessions a week, the costs can add up quickly.

On the flip side, oral NAD supplements offer a more gradual and cost-effective approach. 

These supplements usually have NAD precursors, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which your body converts into NAD+.

While they might not give you the quick burst of energy that IV therapy can, they’re very effective for delivering benefits directly at the cellular level. 

Over time, these supplements support sustained energy, better metabolism, and overall health from within.

They’re also easier on the wallet and more convenient for daily use.

What is NAD IV Therapy and Should You Consider It?

In upscale wellness clinics and medical spas across America’s affluent neighborhoods, a new kind of intravenous treatment has gained prominence among those seeking the latest in regenerative medicine. NAD IV therapy – or intravenous NAD therapy – represents a growing trend in the world of alternative wellness treatments, where patients receive the vital cellular compound Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (or NAD) through direct intravenous administration.

NAD is a coenzyme found naturally in every cell of the human body, playing a key role in cellular function and energy production. Often called a “helper molecule,” it assists in hundreds of metabolic processes, particularly in converting food into cellular energy and maintaining healthy DNA.


In this article, we’ll cover:

  • What NAD IV therapy is and how it works to deliver NAD+ directly into the bloodstream

  • The potential benefits of NAD IV therapy, from addiction recovery and cognitive enhancement to anti-aging and cellular health optimization

  • The safety considerations, side effects, and costs associated with NAD IV infusions

  • How NAD IV therapy compares to oral NAD supplements in terms of efficacy, convenience, and scientific support

What is NAD IV Therapy?

NAD IV therapy, sometimes referred to as NAD infusion or IV drip, typically takes place in medical clinics or specialized wellness centers, where patients recline in comfortable chairs for sessions lasting anywhere from two to four hours. A healthcare provider inserts an IV line into the patient’s arm, connecting them to a drip containing a solution of NAD+ (the oxidized form of NAD) mixed with saline.

The lengthy duration of the treatment isn’t due to the volume of fluid – rather, it’s intentionally slowed to minimize the side effects that can occur with rapid administration. Some clinics offer private rooms equipped with entertainment systems and other amenities to help pass the time.

What began as a niche treatment in high-end coastal clinics has expanded into a nationwide phenomenon. Prices typically range from several hundred to over a thousand dollars per session, with many practitioners recommending initial protocols of 4-10 treatments followed by periodic maintenance sessions.

Medical spas, integrative medicine clinics, and even traditional medical practices have begun offering NAD IV therapy. NAD treatment has found particular popularity in wealthy enclaves from Beverly Hills to the Hamptons, where it joins a growing menu of wellness interventions aimed at an affluent clientele.

The therapy exists in a regulatory gray area – while the administration of IV treatments requires medical supervision, the NAD compounds themselves are typically obtained through compounding pharmacies. Practitioners range from medical doctors to naturopathic physicians, depending on state regulations regarding IV therapy administration.

Unlike traditional medical treatments, NAD IV therapy often operates in the cash-pay market, outside the usual insurance frameworks. This has contributed to its reputation as a luxury wellness service rather than a conventional medical treatment.

In clinics across the country, practitioners present this therapy as part of a broader approach to cellular health and regeneration, positioning it alongside other emerging treatments in the rapidly expanding field of longevity medicine.

Takeaway: NAD IV therapy is a lengthy (2-4 hour) intravenous treatment administered in medical clinics and wellness centers, where NAD+ mixed with saline is slowly dripped into patients to minimize side effects.

Does NAD IV Really Work to Increase NAD+ Levels?

When discussing treatments to increase NAD+, it’s important to understand the distinction between intracellular (iNAD+) and extracellular (eNAD+) forms, since they have dramatically different concentrations and roles.

Intracellularly, NAD+ is abundant, typically ranging from micromolar to millimolar concentrations1. In contrast, extracellular NAD+ levels are remarkably low, measuring approximately 500 times less concentrated than intracellular levels2.

When NAD is administered intravenously, it primarily affects extracellular NAD+ levels. Research demonstrates that IV NAD+ infusion has minimal direct impact on intracellular NAD+ concentrations. In fact, studies show that during a continuous NAD+ infusion, plasma levels only significantly increased at the 6-hour mark, with a 398% rise relative to baseline3.

The body does not directly incorporate IV NAD+ into cellular NAD+ pools. Instead, metabolites like nicotinamide (NAM), nicotinamide riboside (NR), and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can potentially enter cells and be used to regenerate NAD+4.

Recent research indicates that IV NAD+ may not significantly elevate whole blood NAD+ levels within 24 hours, suggesting limited cellular penetration and utilization5. This underscores the complexity of directly increasing cellular NAD+ through IV administration.

Moreover, our own research at Jinfiniti has found that NAD IV therapy does not significantly increase NAD levels inside the cells for several reasons.

  • First, the amount of infused NAD+ and the frequency of infusions do not provide sufficient NAD+.
  • Second, NAD+ is rapidly degraded in the bloodstream within hours.
  • Third, the NAD+ molecule is too large to penetrate the cells.

Take a look at the graph below. 

The use of 750 mg of intravenous NAD+ infusion over 5 sessions did not increase intracellular NAD levels (indicated by the blue bars in the chart). 

Meanwhile, oral NAD supplementation for four weeks optimized NAD levels in 7 of 8 test subjects and significantly boosted NAD in others (indicated by the green bars in the chart).ur weeks optimized NAD levels in 7 of 8 test subjects and significantly boosted NAD in others (green bars).

This suggests that NAD+ infusions may not be an ideal option for those looking to increase energy, improve performance, or extend longevity.

Takeaway: IV NAD+ therapy primarily affects extracellular NAD+ levels but has minimal direct impact on intracellular NAD+ concentrations.

Potential Benefits of NAD Therapy

7 JF 8.26

While the jury is still out in the scientific community on the full scope of NAD IV therapy’s effectiveness, proponents of this treatment cite a range of potential benefits that have attracted a dedicated following among wellness enthusiasts and those seeking alternative approaches to health optimization. These benefits are mostly attributable to an increase in NAD+ levels, which, as mentioned above, is more nuanced than some may think.

Addiction Recovery

Clinical studies on NAD+ IV therapy for addiction remain limited, but one review indicates potential as an anti-addiction intervention by addressing multiple neurobiological aspects of addiction. Previous clinical reports have documented benefits of IV NAD+ infusion in alcohol and opioid withdrawal, with researchers observing significant improvements in reducing cravings and alleviating withdrawal symptoms6.

Energy and Metabolism

Practitioners report that many patients seek out NAD therapy primarily for its effects on energy levels. The treatment’s supporters point to NAD’s fundamental role in cellular energy production7, likening it to recharging a battery at the cellular level. Some clinics report that patients experience increased energy levels lasting days or even weeks following treatment.

Cognitive Function

In Silicon Valley boardrooms and Wall Street offices, executives have turned to NAD therapy in pursuit of supercharged mental clarity. Advocates suggest that the treatment may support brain function by helping maintain healthy neurons and potentially reducing inflammation8. Some patients report experiencing improved focus and mental acuity, though these effects remain largely anecdotal.

Athletic Recovery

Professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts have embraced NAD therapy as part of their recovery protocols. The treatment’s proposed ability to support cellular repair and energy production has made it popular among those seeking to optimize their physical performance and reduce recovery time between intense training sessions.

Age-Related Concerns

Perhaps the most intriguing area of interest lies in NAD’s role in aging. Research has shown that NAD levels naturally decline with age9, leading some scientists to investigate whether restoring these levels might influence the aging process. The potential anti-aging effects of NAD IV have certainly captured the attention of the longevity medicine community and warrant further exploration.

Cellular Health

Proponents believe that NAD IV therapy may help support overall cellular health by improving mitochondrial function – the energy-producing centers within cells. This could potentially have wide-ranging effects on various aspects of health, from metabolism to tissue repair.

Metabolic Function

Clinics report that some patients seek NAD therapy for its potential to support healthy metabolism. The treatment’s role in cellular energy production has led to speculation about its effects on metabolic health, though research in this area continues to evolve.

How Safe is NAD IV Treatment?

imageofamiddle agedwomantouchingherskin

While many practitioners consider the treatment generally safe when administered properly, patients should be aware of various side effects and safety considerations before pursuing IV infusion.

During IV NAD therapy sessions, patients frequently report a range of temporary symptoms that typically subside once the infusion is complete or shortly thereafter:

  • Chest tightness or discomfort
  • Moderate to severe headache
  • Shortness of breath
  • Nausea and stomach discomfort
  • Flushing of the face
  • Racing heart or palpitations
  • Anxiety or jitteriness
  • Mild dizziness
  • Temporary changes in vision

The speed of NAD administration plays a significant role in the intensity of side effects. Experienced practitioners typically begin with lower doses and slower infusion rates, gradually increasing them based on patient tolerance. This approach, while extending treatment duration, helps minimize adverse reactions.

NAD IV therapy has been observed to elevate high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels, with approximately 70% of recipients showing a 3- to 10-fold increase in this inflammation marker. Given these effects, monitoring hs-CRP and implementing inflammation control measures is recommended for patient safety.

Medical professionals stress that NAD IV therapy should only be administered in appropriate clinical settings with proper medical supervision. The treatment requires careful screening of patients for underlying health conditions that might contraindicate its use.

Certain populations may face higher risks when receiving NAD therapy. People with kidney or liver conditions, heart problems, or those taking specific medications should exercise particular caution. Pregnant or nursing women are typically advised to avoid the treatment due to limited safety data.

The medical community notes that while short-term side effects are well-documented, the long-term safety profile of regular NAD IV therapy remains under investigation. Some healthcare providers express concern about the lack of extensive longitudinal studies examining the effects of repeated treatments.

The rapidly growing NAD therapy industry has raised concerns about quality control and standardization. The source and purity of NAD compounds can vary between facilities, potentially affecting both safety and efficacy. Patients are advised to thoroughly research facilities and verify the credentials of practitioners administering the treatment.

Takeaway: NAD IV therapy can cause temporary side effects like headaches and nausea, with severity depending on infusion speed and individual tolerance. While generally considered safe under proper medical supervision, certain populations face higher risks, and long-term effects remain under study.

How Much Does NAD IV Therapy Cost?

NAD IV therapy costs can vary widely based on dosage, location, clinic expertise, and additional treatments. On average, the cost ranges from $200 to $1,000 per session. For longer-term treatment plans, costs can accumulate significantly. Many providers recommend multiple sessions over several days or weeks for optimal results, which can drive up the total expense. For example, a series of treatments over 2-3 days could cost $1,500 to $3,000 or more.

Some clinics offer package deals or membership options for regular treatments, which may provide some cost savings for ongoing therapy. It’s also important to note that NAD IV therapy is generally not covered by insurance, as it’s considered an elective treatment.

Is NAD IV FDA-Approved?

NAD IV therapy is not FDA-approved for the treatment of any specific condition. This does not mean the treatment is illegal or unsafe when administered properly. NAD therapy falls under the category of dietary supplements, which are not required to undergo FDA review for safety or effectiveness before being marketed. The FDA has acknowledged NAD therapy’s potential efficacy for treating certain conditions like benzodiazepine dependence, opiate withdrawal, and chronic fatigue, though it has not formally approved it.

NAD Infusions vs Oral NAD Supplements

6 JF 8.26 1

NAD supplementation offers two primary approaches: oral NAD supplements and IV therapy, each with distinct advantages for individuals seeking to boost cellular energy and combat aging. Oral supplements provide a convenient, cost-effective method for gradually increasing NAD+ levels, with studies showing potential increases up to 142% after two weeks of consistent use10. These supplements are typically more affordable, ranging from $20 to $150 per bottle, and can be easily integrated into daily routines.

In contrast, intravenous therapy delivers a rapid, direct NAD+ boost directly into the bloodstream, making it potentially more suitable for acute health conditions or intensive recovery needs. However, this method comes with significant drawbacks, including the higher costs and potential side effects outlined above. 

It’s worth noting that the majority of peer-reviewed studies have focused on oral NAD+ supplements rather than intravenous delivery. This research disparity stems from several practical factors. Oral supplement studies offer advantages in scientific settings: they’re easier to control, more cost-effective to conduct, and more practical for the large-scale, long-term trials needed to establish clinical efficacy. Major research institutions have primarily concentrated their investigations on oral NAD+ precursors such as NMN and NR.

Many of the benefits attributed to IV NAD+ therapy are extrapolated from studies on oral supplements, which often have different bioavailability and physiological effects. This disconnect has led some researchers to call for more rigorous investigation of the IV delivery method, particularly given its growing popularity and higher cost compared to oral alternatives.

Takeaway: Oral supplements are backed by more extensive research and clinical trials, while IV therapy’s effects are less thoroughly studied despite its growing popularity.

Should You Get NAD IV Therapy?

When considering IV therapy, it’s important to carefully weigh the potential NAD+ benefits against the risks, costs, and limitations. While many individuals report positive experiences with this treatment, the scientific evidence supporting its efficacy remains limited compared to well-studied oral NAD supplements.

The allure of a rapid NAD boost via IV infusion is understandable, particularly for those facing acute health challenges or seeking accelerated recovery. However, the higher costs, potential side effects, and lack of long-term safety data should give pause to anyone considering this approach.

In contrast, oral NAD supplements offer a more accessible, affordable, and scientifically validated option for gradually increasing NAD levels over time. With a growing body of research supporting their safety and efficacy, these supplements may represent a more prudent choice for the majority of individuals seeking the benefits of NAD therapy.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue NAD IV therapy should be made in close consultation with a trusted healthcare provider who can assess your individual needs and risk factors. They can help you evaluate whether the potential benefits outweigh the risks in your specific case, and guide you toward the most appropriate options for supporting your health and well-being.

For those interested in a clinically proven, convenient, and cost-effective alternative to IV therapy, Jinfiniti’s Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster stands out as a compelling option. This patent-pending oral supplement combines four powerful ingredients – NMN, creatine monohydrate, D-ribose, and nicotinamide – to optimize NAD levels through multiple pathways.

Vitality’s unique formulation includes both a one-step NAD precursor and supports the salvage pathway that recycles nicotinamide, while creatine monohydrate serves as an ATP energy reservoir and potential neurotransmitter. All ingredients are third-party tested for the highest purity, ensuring a safe and effective way to revitalize cellular function without the risks and costs associated with IV therapy.

How NAD Gave My Dog Six More Months Of Health, Happiness, And Life

a1 4 1

Those of us who choose to lead a healthy lifestyle are keenly aware that diet, exercise, supplementation, quality sleep, and stress management are key components on our path. 

Those of us who are pet owners also want our pets to enjoy the same good health and long life that we envision for ourselves.

I’d like to share my Romeo the Red toy poodle’s senior year NAD supplementation story

… so that others’ dogs may benefit from what I learned as I faced health challenges for Romeo.

There’s a saying that I read months after Romeo passed and it touched me deeply: “A dog might only be there for part of your life, but to them, you are their entire life ” 

Wow! That one floored me. 

For us, a dog might be one aspect of a busy life filled with work, family, and countless other commitments. But to our dogs, we are everything—their world revolves around us, and their loyalty, love, and devotion are unwavering. 

Nowhere is this more evident than every time we return home to an excited, loving greeting from our loyal companion, who has waited patiently for our return. 

The jumping, the tail wags, the unbridled excitement that we are “back” is a constant reminder that we are loved and missed, even for short periods of time.

Dogs teach us the true meaning of unconditional love.

They don’t care about our flaws or mistakes; to them, we are perfect. This kind of love is rare, and it’s why the bond we share with our dogs is so special.

They remind us to live in the moment, to appreciate the simple joys of life, and to always greet the people we love with enthusiasm and warmth. In return for their boundless love, we owe them our time, attention, and care—because while they may be just a part of our lives, we are their whole world.

Perhaps the most important role in our dog’s life is that of steward of their health. 

We decide what they are going to eat, where they will go, and upon which bed or floor they will sleep. It is on us to make sure their lives are safe, comfy, and secure. 

Their very lifespan, for the most part, is in our hands. Ensuring that our pet lives as many years as possible before the Rainbow Bridge crossing becomes a challenge that we take seriously once conditions dictate that we recognize that we will live on but our furbaby will not.

My red toy poodle Romeo finally began, at about age 12, to show his first symptom of aging. 

I say “began” because up until that point, people often mistook him for a puppy.

However, this day when he went outdoors for his midday walk, he took a few steps and then just stopped. He began to flinch and jerk backward, reacting to “something.” 

I pulled gently on his leash, but he just stood there, his head jerking side to side rapidly, as though he was in pain.

He continued to back away, not proceeding forward, clearly in distress. I assumed he was having some sort of seizure. I’d had a Yorkie named Missy who lived to 17 ½.

In Missy’s last years, she became epileptic and seizures were a common occurrence. This was new for Romeo and scary for both of us.

I picked him up off the pavement and jumped into my car, racing him to the doggie ER nearby. 

Those of you who have endured a dog healthcare emergency of any sort know well the anguish, fear, and stress that send your heartbeat racing and cortisol levels soaring. 

This event happened during Covid and lockdown measures and my stress was further exacerbated by having to hand my poor, shaking little fluffball off to an attendant for transport to the vet’s exam room.

After what seemed like an eternity, Romeo and I were reunited in the vet’s waiting room. 

Once outside and in the car, I received the promised telephone follow-up call from the vet. (Again, this was during Covid and personal contact was limited, if allowed at all.) 

I was informed that Romeo’s ailment was not epilepsy and that he had not suffered a seizure. The vet diagnosed the condition as one in his eyes. 

His irises were atrophied and the flinching and jerking away movements were from sunlight straining his eyes.

He had become extremely light-sensitive. From that point on, nearly any amount of sunlight would cause him extreme discomfort.

Like many of the symptoms of aging in humans, this new condition had shown up in my dog seemingly overnight. (I remember my vision devolving significantly the night of my 4oth birthday.

I went to bed with 20/20 vision and woke up with presbyopia. At least that’s how it seemed.)

That eye diagnosis marked the beginning of Romeo’s new dog walk program.

I had to walk him in the early morning or late in the day. If I popped out midday to run an errand, I made sure to shield his eyes while driving in the car during daylight. I had suddenly become the official Steward of Senior Dog Health, a mantel I happily assumed.

As with all slippery slopes, Romeo’s aging started slowly but gained speed with time. I began to search in earnest for doggie longevity products and ways to keep him agile and aware. 

I was so proud when, even at age 14, people still mistook him for a puppy. I loved the look of shock on their faces when I told them his age. 

Still, rainy days were anathema to his joints. Running up and down stairs one day would result in some hobbling and stiffness the next. I tried little grip booties to keep his legs from sliding out from under him on slippery floors. Getting up and down out of his dog bed became a chore.

It was a few months into his 14th year that his arthritis took a heavier toll. 

He was achy and listless many mornings when we prepared for his first walk of the day. Clearly, he was experiencing serious joint pain that affected his mobility. 

That last year saw Romeo having bladder control issues. Perfectly housebroken for years, he began to have accidents if he wasn’t walked every two hours. 

My work and personal life were adjusted to ensure that I, or occasionally someone else, could walk him constantly. Yes, I set my alarm and got up in the middle of the night to walk him as well.

Non-dog people told me things ranging from…

“He’s just a dog, time to let him go” to “You have a life to live, it’s too much.” 

But I soldiered on, as did Romeo. 

He was a proud boy and having accidents embarrassed him. 

His GI tract became problematic and there were bouts of diarrhea that were not fun for either of us. Eventually, his energy level declined to the point that he was sleeping most of the day and worn out or too stiff for the most brief walks. 

Halfway into that last year, after an emergency vet visit for extreme diarrhea and total loss of appetite (a confusing combination, to say the least)…

My lovely vet lady pulled me aside and suggested that it might be time to make “the decision.” 

I began to cry and she wanted to console me. “Well,” she said, “It might not be today. But it reasonably could be.” 

I looked her deeply in the eye and asked her, “How do you know? “

I don’t want to play God.” She answered, 

“He’s not eating. He’s in pain. His organs are beginning to fail. “

I had told her what our schedule had become, the every two-hour walks night and day, the constant cleaning up of “problems” and more.

With all that in mind, she said, “The truth is, at some point one of you is going to give up.

I looked her squarely in the eye, tears streaming down my face, and said, “But today is not that day.”

We went home, little Romeo and I. That night, I had an idea. 

I had been taking Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster for about a year and a half. I knew the benefits I was enjoying. I’d seen it work wonders for friends and family who had issues ranging from allergies to lack of energy to brain fog to inflammation.

I called Dr. Jin-Xiong She and somewhat brusquely asked him, “Why can’t I give my senior dog Romeo Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster?”

He paused only briefly before answering, “You can!”

That night I sprinkled the NAD precursor powder cocktail Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster on Romeo’s food.

This is the dog who had turned his nose up at anything I had bought or prepared for him for at least a month. 

I purchased high-end gourmet dog foods that cost a fortune.

I put him on a subscription for fresh dog food delivered to the door. I cooked for him more than I did for myself. He would take a sniff, turn away, and slowly walk back to his bed to fall asleep again. 

He was skin and bones.

1photo 1

However, that night, after I placed his bowl back on the floor and walked away, something amazing happened.

Romeo did the same sniffing he had been doing for weeks. He poked with his nose and smelled the powder-covered dog food.

He gave a perfunctory lick to the top of the food in the bowl. And then he ate. He ate and he ate.

He finished the bowl.

I’d love to say that he jumped up on his hind feet and did a little doggy jig, but he did not. 

He did, however, get back into his bed and fall asleep.

The next morning Romeo once again ate the food with the Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster added.

When we went for our walk, he had the hint of a spring in his step.

Over the next weeks, he continued to eat and enjoy the food/NAD combo, twice a day, a half doggy dose. 

The thing that made me most happy was when, upon returning from a walk, he did what he had not done for months: he raced down the hallway from the elevator in our building to the front door of our condo. 

That little run had been one of the cutest things ever for years and it always brought a smile to my face. It was like he was running the Derby and in the last stretch determined to beat the rest of the racers. 

He would land in front of our door and turn to me sit back on his haunches and look at me as though to say, “What’s taking you so long, slowpoke?”

I have videos of Romeo making that run again in his last year after months of a slow drag back home.

My little red boy crossed the Rainbow Bridge six months after his vet had suggested it might be time

Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster gave him six months of reasonable health, happiness, and life. 

I had known that his journey to that Bridge was not far off on the horizon, but it was still a surprise the morning it came.

My friend Sabrina had a cute little girl (Jazzy) like my Romeo, and she had had to let Jazzi cross the bridge a few weeks before Romeo did.

Yet another friend of mine, a bestie from grade school, had arrived home after work a few months before to find that her rescue dog had passed in her absence.

These had both prepared me to some degree, but the last day with a pet is always loaded with shock and sadness.

What comforted me was knowing that the last six months Romeo lived were made possible and were more comfortable thanks to Jinfiniti Precision Medicine’s Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster. 

My next dog will be given his Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster daily from the moment I bring him/her home.

Is NAD a Healthy Weight-Loss Alternative to Ozempic?

smiling fit woman wearing too big jeans

NAD+ overcomes insulin resistance without disastrous side effects.

Social media is burning up with images of celebrities who’ve dropped significant tonnage, but are mute about their methods.

This is an odd phenomenon, given the characteristic eagerness of this class to publicly pledge their allegiance to the newest fad, no matter how bizarre that craze might seem to the average person on the street. Yet, at each exhibition of luminary lipid loss, the same word is uttered in hushed whispers: Ozempic.

And we have to wonder, why the muted tones? If Ozempic is a miracle weight-loss drug, shouldn’t we be shouting about it from the rooftops? Turns out there are ample reasons to be wary, and even more reasons to choose a particular safe and effective alternative: the natural coenzyme NAD.

Step 1: Design a catchy ad campaign  

Want to charge $1,200 a month for an injection whose benefits are decidedly short-term, and which puts patients at risk for numerous painful, debilitating side-effects, as well as a dispiriting rebound of the conditions they sought to alleviate in the first place? Then you must, must, must pick a catchy, long-forgotten pop song from the 1970s, whose original lyrics were all about the wondrous state of being in love.

Now you’ve got “Oh-oh-oh-Ozempic!” subliminally telling viewers of ubiquitous pharma commercials that “It’s magic.” Fossils of my era will remember the Scottish band Pilot cautioning listeners, “Never believe it’s not so!” But should we believe the advertising hype around Ozempic? Many sources, including those in the health and fitness sphere outside of Big Pharma, are telling us “No.”  

What is Ozempic and why should I be skeptical?

According to the website Health.com1, Ozempic a semaglutide, a “synthetic version of a human hormone called glucagon-like peptide one, or GLP-1.” Humans secrete GLP-1 when food reaches our gut.

It tells our brain that we’re full and tells our pancreas to get off the schneid and produce some insulin, the hormone that signals our cells to open wide and receive blood glucose.

When all works well, GLP-1 ensures that we don’t gorge ourselves and that the vacuoles of our cells widen, taking in glucose to convert to energy. This latter process also lowers our blood glucose levels, sparing us the consequences of diabetically high blood sugar.

People with type II diabetes either don’t produce enough insulin or suffer from extreme insulin resistance, so that while their insulin’s a knockin’, their vacuoles are sayin’ “Don’t come in.” (This is a problem with cell-signaling, one of the many cellular functions that depend heavily on the co-enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD.)

Ozempic is designed to increase insulin production for type II diabetics who have had trouble getting their blood sugar under control with other methods. Ozempic is delivered via twice-monthly injections, at a cost of about $1,200 per month. 

Health.com tells us, “After injection, semaglutide increases insulin production and lowers blood sugar. This causes the stomach to empty more slowly, reduces appetite, and makes people feel full.” So, it should come as no surprise that Ozempic has delivered another sought-after benefit: weight loss.

Is the bonus benefit just a dangerous illusion?

The Ozempic bonus has led overweight people, especially celebrities who can afford the high price tag, to request the drug for weight loss, a use for which the FDA has not approved it.

Yet, doctors seem willing to prescribe Ozempic for off-label use, a practice that is often controversial if not illegal. In fairness to these doctors, we should note that another semaglutide prescription, Wegovy, has FDA approval as a weight-loss drug. But should either of these synthetic hormone drugs be used for this purpose?

This lady in a lab coat says no. And we must listen because she is appropriately dressed. (Also note that she’s an MD, not an actress.)

Thank you, Dr. Annette Bosworth.

A litany of side-effects, some of which are deadly

If you’ve seen an O-O-O-Ozempic commercial, you’ve heard the recitation of side effects, which range from unpleasant to deadly. The mild variety includes:

  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness or vertigo
  • Discomfort and/or skin discoloration around the injection site
  • Increased heart rate
  • Changes in perception of taste
  • Digestive problems, such as belly pain, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, burping, nausea, and vomiting

Ozempic patients have also started reporting hair loss2.

 The more serious side effects include:

  • Kidney problems, such as kidney failure
  • Low blood sugar
  • Pancreatitis
  • Gallbladder disease, such as cholecystitis or gallstones
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Allergic reactions

All of these are potentially fatal.

After reading these lists, the reasonable reader might wonder, “At what point do the risks outweigh the possible benefits?” For people who cannot control their diabetes, the disease is eventually fatal.

Other messy consequences include blindness and amputation of extremities. So, a roll of the dice with Ozempic might be in order.

Alternatives to a potentially deadly roll of the dice?

However, most people with type II diabetes can control their sugar through dietary and lifestyle modification. These changes are generally not easy, which is why many so people are open to taking a magic shot, courtesy of our consistently trustworthy friends at Big Pharma.

This mindset, which seems to be the basis for Ozempic’s marketing strategy, has really rankled celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels, who has voiced her concerns about Ozempic to Megyn Kelly (video below) and Bill Maher.

As Ms. Michaels explain, Ozempic treatment is necessarily short. And for many patients, the benefits sunset early, as their weight loss plateaus and the pounds rebound. Unfortunately, the side-effects seem to linger3 well beyond patients’ use of the drug.

Another reason for concern is the psychological effect Ozempic seems to have on type II diabetics, who should maintain a strict exercise regimen. According to a report from MSN, Ozempic seems to discourage overweight people from working out4.

Is NAD+ optimization a better way to manage insulin resistance?

Dr. Jin-Xiong She is a prominent microbiologist who has spent a significant portion of his career studying the relationship between cellular functions and age-related/metabolic diseases, including type II diabetes.

The precursor to type II diabetes is the condition we call insulin resistance, where the cells do not respond to the insulin’s signal.

This forces the pancreas to produce more insulin, eventually exhausting itself. When the body no longer produces its own insulin, a patient must take insulin orally or via injection. For people in a prediabetic state, insulin resistance causes stubborn weight gain, along with ancillary health problems.

Dr. She has studied the role of NAD in cellular functions, and in this short video, he explains four key benefits of NAD as they pertain to normal insulin sensitivity.

Unfortunately, people lose NAD due to age, stress, and lifestyle choices, such as a poor diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle.

This can turn insulin sensitivity into insulin resistance. The good news is that replenishing lost NAD can return the system to healthy homeostasis. Replacing lost NAD is tricky, but Dr. She has developed a highly effective supplement he calls  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster.

NAD optimization: a safe, natural path to better health

One of the great benefits of  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster is the increased energy one feels after just a few days of using the product. This can empower an overweight person with insulin resistance or type II diabetes to hit the gym and get the natural health benefits of exercise.

Many people have been able to reverse type II diabetes and return to good health through dietary and lifestyle modifications. Supplementing to achieve NAD optimization makes the process easier, so more patients should be able to improve their health for the long term.

Importantly, NAD is a natural compound, not a synthetic, so there’s no list of horrendous side effects. I’ve written in this column5 about the numerous health benefits I’ve experienced with  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster. It’s precisely because of those health benefits that I asked Dr. She to make me an affiliate marketer for his company Jinfiniti Precision Medicine.

If you are struggling with insulin resistance or type II diabetes, I urge you to try this amazing product. Ask your doctor which is more likely to help you: the all-natural compound that’s an essential cofactor for virtually every cellular function, or the synthetic hormone with the catchy jingle, a monthly cost equal to your mortgage, and a list of side effects the length of the King James Bible.

O-O-O-I think I know what they’ll say.

Great news: Get started with NAD for only $28!

My NAD+ Story: After Three Months, I Feel 30 Years Younger!

cell seen under microscope

Breakthrough formula restores health and vitality on the cellular level

You may not be aware of this, but a revolution in health sciences is happening, because of discoveries surrounding a compound called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, abbreviated as NAD+.

This molecule, as it turns out, is essential for virtually every function of human cells, and not only do we not get enough of it, but aging, stress, and poor lifestyle choices cause a depletion of NAD+ at the cellular level.

NAD+ depletion leads to a wide range of metabolic and age-related disorders, including chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, cancer, and on and on, seemingly ad infinitum.

The good news is that scientists, most notably Dr. Jin-Xiong She in Augusta, Georgia, have developed effective ways to boost intracellular levels of NAD+, thereby restoring youthful vigor and deterring a slew of adult-onset illnesses.

Now, if you’re thinking this pitch sounds too good to be true, I can hardly blame you. As a fourth grader reading about Ponce de Leon, I had to laugh at the gullible rube who was searching Florida for the Fountain of Youth.

And, as you might have read, I’m appalled by corrupt practices in modern medicine1. But when it comes to all-natural methods of improving my health, I’ll try just about anything once. So, three-plus months ago, I started taking Dr. She’s NAD+ supplement, Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, and am I ever happy I did!

Where did I go wrong?

A little personal background. When I was six, I suffered a nasty whiplash accident that left me with a misaligned spine and a sacrum that was ever-so-slightly out of the socket. My family’s quack doctor said to rest, and I’d been fine.

But I wasn’t fine, and he did nothing to help. As a result, I grew up with atrocious posture and sleeping problems that hampered my growth and left me chronically exhausted.

I was in fairly constant pain, which fluctuated between dull and excruciating, and I had to deal with ever-increasing metabolic health problems, which included a panoply of allergies, tinnitus, “sinus headaches,” a “nervous stomach,” hypoglycemia, and low-level asthma. I was rarely my best self, underperformed at school, lived under constant stress, and simply didn’t have the energy to pursue my life’s goals.

Now, I don’t want to paint a picture of abject misery. I’ve done a lot in my life and have known a great deal of joy and contentment.

And I feel like I’ve earned those moments. I fought for them, exploring every potential avenue to restore my health: chiropractic, Atkins’ diet, cytotoxic four-day rotation diet, nutrient supplementation, meditation, crystals, acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbs, complete abstention from sugar and alcohol, massage therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, and regular exercise.

I poured my meager earnings into expensive treatments that for a time allowed me to feel better before the exhaustion and the pain crept back in.

For the amount of exercise I put in, I should have had a chiseled physique, but I never made the progress others made, and pushing my boundaries resulted in exhaustion, inflammation, and more pain.

Chronic pain/fatigue has been my cross to bear. It’s a lighter cross than many others have endured, and for that I’m grateful.

But it nevertheless has limited my success personally and professionally.

I could recite a litany of times I ended a relationship or made a career change because I was just too tired to move forward.

When I was trying to break in as an actor, a common observation from the agents who interviewed me was, “You need to have more energy.”

As a singer, I never fully developed my voice, because the energy I lacked stunted the development of my vocal instrument.

As a writer, I’ve had a million stories bouncing around in my head that I just haven’t had the time—make that energy—to put down on paper.

So, at age 63, I perceive a huge chasm between my potential, based on an honest assessment of my talent and intelligence, and my accomplishments. Augh, so much spilt milk.

Saved from managed decline by NAD+!

The good news came about four or five months ago when my friend Greta asked if I wanted to do a little marketing writing for a product she was involved with.

At that time, I was feeling every bit of my age. I’d wake up every morning with a song in my heart, but it went something like this:

“Why does everything hurt, hurt, hurt?

Why does everything hurt, hurt, hurt?

Why does every little thing crackle and ping

When I take off my shirt?

It’s a day above dirt,

But why does everything hurt?”

Here’s a brief list of the symptoms I was struggling with:

  • Asthma
  • Allergies
  • Brain fog
  • Lethargy
  • Insomnia
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Swollen feet
  • Inflammation everywhere
  • Sciatica and piriformis syndrome
  • Shoulder impingement syndrome
  • Tinnitus
  • Neck pain
  • Restless leg syndrome and night cramps
  • Afternoon slump a la Rip Van Winkle

I dutifully exercised for an hour each day to keep these symptoms from worsening, but I was clearly managing my decline, not recovering.

So, then Greta introduced me to Dr. Jin-Xiong She, a molecular biologist who had founded Jinfiniti Precision Medicine.

Dr. She has been studying cellular functions relative to age-related diseases for decades.

His studies confirm that there is one essential nutrient that operates as a cofactor in virtually every cellular function, including the production of energy, a compound called NAD+.

People lose NAD+ with age, leading to a decline in our cells’ ability to perform, which opens the door to various maladies. Supplementing NAD+ can restore cellular performance to peak levels, so we build healthier tissues, bones, and organs.

JinxiongShe2 480x514 1

Dr. She also confirmed through his studies that NAD+ is a difficult nutrient to supplement. Because it’s such a large molecule, it does not penetrate the gut barrier, and even if given intravenously, NAD+ is too large to pass through the vacuoles in the cell membranes.

Thus, the way to boost NAD+ levels is to supplement the precursor molecules, the building blocks of NAD+, and let them enter the cells where the organelles in the cell will use them to create NAD+.

Dr. She claims to have developed the most efficacious NAD+ supplement on the market, and after three months of taking it, I have no reason to doubt him.

Dr. She is a very data-driven scientist, so the first thing he wanted to do with me was draw some blood and measure my levels of essential biomarkers.

Not surprisingly, my NAD+ level was that of a mid-70s man.

The way I figure it, constant stress depleted my levels, and even the strict diet and exercise regimen I’ve been on for decades was not enough to replenish this vital nutrient.

I was also deficient in creatine, which could explain the muscle soreness I experienced after exercising, and I had poor biomarkers for inflammation and antioxidant levels.

Armed with this information, I started taking Dr. She’s NAD+ supplement,  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, along with creatine, anti-inflammatory supplements, and antioxidants.

What three months on  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster has done

NAD test photo 1 d3f3221b

I’m now on my third jar of  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, and as I wrote at the beginning, I feel like I’m back in my mid-30s. Now, my mid-30s might translate to a fit individual’s early 50s, but I’ll take it, because here’s what I’m experiencing:

  • Vastly improved overall energy
  • Deeper sleep
  • Allergies are milder
  • Mental fog gone
  • Better mood
  • Tightness in my trapezius and neck during computer work/piano playing greatly diminished
  • Tenderness in the shoulder greatly diminished
  • Pain/swelling in my feet and lower legs greatly diminished
  • Sciatica and piriformis pain barely noticeable
  • Greater flexibility, greater ability to stretch muscles and hold deep stretches longer
  • Hardly any muscle soreness after exercise
  • Easier, quicker workouts
  • Singing is easier with better airflow, greater range, and more power

This is after only three months. Dr. She says he’s been taking  Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster for two years and is still discovering new benefits.

Is NAD+ a real hope for humanity?

In my research, I’ve found that NAD+ optimization is proven or suspected to be beneficial for an incredible number of conditions related to faulty metabolism, genetic mutations, poor neural signaling, and aging, such as:

  • Addiction
  • Age-related macular degeneration
  • Allergies and asthma
  • Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases

A Master Key to Health & Longevity: NAD Optimization Utilizing TAO Wisdom

What if you could age without facing common health issues like brittle bones, memory loss, fatigue, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions that often come with getting older?

Recent breakthrough research suggests this is possible, thanks to Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD). This coenzyme, naturally found in our cells, is the key to maintaining a vibrant, healthy life as we age.

But what exactly is NAD, and how can it help you stay healthy as you get older? Read on to learn how NAD might transform the aging process and help you live a longer, healthier life.


In this article, we discuss:

  • How NAD can turn back the clock on age-related health issues, boosting both your lifespan and healthspan.

  • 7 powerful ways NAD can transform your health from the inside out.

  • 2 key strategies to tackle oxidative stress, DNA damage, blood sugar imbalances, chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and cellular senescence.

  • The T-A-O (Test, Act, Optimize) method, a proven approach to optimizing your health and longevity as you age.

In the pursuit of wellness and longevity, NAD has emerged as the most important area of interest among scientists and consumers. 

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a crucial role in over 500 cellular processes. The most important one is the production of cellular energy, ATP, that all cells need to function. NAD is also responsible for many chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders.

NAD supplementation has been widely recommended by doctors and used by millions of consumers. However, it is still not widely known that the full benefits of NAD are only realized when your NAD levels are optimized.

How can you optimize your NAD so that you achieve your full potential and live healthier and longer? There is only one approach that works. That is TAO: test, act and optimize.  

Read this blog and download our free eBook guide on NAD, you will appreciate more the science, the benefits and more importantly the how to get all the benefits of optimized NAD levels.

What Is NAD Optimization?

a1 5

NAD optimization involves strategies to increase and maintain optimal levels of NAD in the body. 

As we age, our cells experience a decline in NAD levels. 

This decline contributes to various aspects of aging, including cellular dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA damage. 

Both research studies and extensive consumer data have shown that replenishing NAD levels can slow down or reverse many age-related health conditions, definitely extending health span, the period of life without major diseases or injuries, and likely extending lifespan via extended improved health.

Role of NAD in Cellular Function

a2 5

One of the most important roles of NAD is its involvement in cellular energy production. 

NAD is a key player in the process of cellular respiration1where it helps convert nutrients into ATP, the cell’s primary energy source. 

Additionally, NAD is involved in DNA repair, gene expression, and the regulation of over 500 different cellular processes partly through its interaction with sirtuins, a class of proteins involved in longevity and aging.

Boosting NAD levels can also improve mitochondrial function, increase energy production, and improve many health biomarkers such as liver function, kidney function, and insulin sensitivity, just to name a few. 

For example, a study published in the Journal of Springer Nature shows that mice administered with NAD precursors like NAD+ precursor can improve mitochondrial function, enhance muscle function, and increase lifespan2.

Human studies on NAD supplementation are increasing and have shown encouraging results.

A clinical trial from the Journal of Sciences Advances found that supplementation with NR increased NAD levels in healthy adults and improved markers of mitochondrial function3

Other studies from the Journal of Nutrients also show that supplementation could have benefits for age-related conditions such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders.4

Data from tens of thousands of our customers clearly indicate that over 80% of people who have optimized NAD by our NAD supplement, the Vitality ↑® NAD+ Booster, have seen health benefits in various areas including but not limited to more energy, better sleep, better mental clarity, higher performance and recovery.

7 Top Benefits of Healthy NAD Levels

a3 2

Enhanced Energy Production:

Maintaining healthy NAD levels is essential for optimal cellular metabolism, as NAD is a key player in cellular respiration. This process converts nutrients into energy, leading to increased ATP production.

With higher NAD levels, cells can produce energy more efficiently, resulting in enhanced overall energy levels and reduced fatigue. Additionally, NAD supports mitochondrial health5, ensuring that these cellular powerhouses function effectively and produce less toxic substances, namely free radicals.

Improved Metabolic Health:

NAD plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism6, including glucose and lipid metabolism. Healthy NAD levels help maintain stable blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of metabolic disorders.

By supporting metabolic efficiency, NAD can aid in weight management and combat obesity, and reduce insulin resistance and risk for diabetes, making it a vital component of overall metabolic health.

Enhanced Cellular Repair:

NAD is essential for DNA repair and maintaining genomic stability7. It activates enzymes like PARPs, which repair damaged DNA, protecting cells from mutations and preserving their function.

Healthy NAD levels support these repair processes, extending the lifespan of cells and tissues and contributing to overall cellular longevity.

Cognitive Function:

Healthy NAD levels are crucial for brain health, as NAD is a neurotransmitter and supports the production of ATP in brain cells, ensuring they have the energy needed to function optimally.

NAD also plays a role in neuroprotection,8 helping to safeguard neurons from damage and potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, thereby enhancing cognitive function and memory.

Athletic Performance:

For athletes, maintaining healthy NAD levels can significantly improve physical performance.9 NAD enhances energy production and reduces muscle fatigue, leading to increased endurance.

It also helps in faster recovery by reducing muscle soreness and inflammation after intense exercise, allowing athletes to train harder and longer with quicker recovery times.

Aging Optimization:

NAD levels naturally decline with age, contributing to various age-related declines in function. By maintaining healthy NAD levels, it is possible to support cellular health and slow down the aging process.10

This includes improved skin health, where NAD helps maintain skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, promoting a more youthful appearance.

Immune System Support:

NAD is vital for a robust immune system11, as it is involved in the production and function of immune cells. Healthy NAD levels enhance the immune response, helping the body to fight off infections and diseases more effectively.

Additionally, NAD helps regulate inflammatory responses, reducing chronic inflammation that can contribute to various health issues, thereby supporting overall immune health. NAD can also reduce symptoms of allergies and asthma in many individuals.

With all these benefits, how can you optimize your NAD levels and live a healthy, fulfilling life?

How Jinfiniti Can Optimize Your NAD Levels

a4 3

At Jinfiniti, we aim to alleviate debilitating conditions such as oxidative stress, DNA damage, blood sugar imbalances, chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and cellular senescence through two key approaches:

1. Finding & Tackling the Root Causes

2. Adhering to the 8 Pillars of TAO for Optimal Health

Taoism (道) is an ancient Chinese philosophy that explains the workings of the universe, emphasizing the balance and harmony of Yin and Yang, two opposite but interconnected forces. 

To achieve health and longevity, one must maintain cellular harmony through a holistic approach.

The Jinfiniti Approach

a5 3

We use the Intracellular NAD test to provide precise data, avoiding guesswork and optimizing your NAD levels.

This test, the first and most reliable one on the market, helps determine NAD deficiency, assess supplement effectiveness, and find the optimal dosage for your needs.

It also provides actionable data to adjust the dosage of NAD supplements or other NAD products, optimizing your NAD levels and helping manage chronic diseases. 

Based on the test results, we prescribe customized approaches to manage symptoms and chronic diseases at the cellular level.

After 3 to 4 weeks of action, take a second test to assess your new levels. You’ll likely see significant changes, especially if you follow our protocol and use our products.

With the results of the Intracellular NAD test, you’ll know which actions yield progress. 

Repeat these actions consistently for optimal health and longevity.

Why should you optimize your NAD levels?

1. How is an optimal level of NAD defined?

Like any biomarker, defining the optimal range is a critical but difficult process. This range may change slightly as additional data becomes available. There are major differences between the normal ranges that medical organizations usually use and the optimal range that functional medicine or health optimization organizations prefer to use.

Normal ranges are values that we see in the vast majority of people who appear to be healthy, while optimal ranges are values within which you can perform the best and maximize your health span and lifespan.

For Intracellular NAD, Jinfiniti conducted extensive studies and proposed to define the lower end of the optimal range as the 75th percentile of NAD levels we see in teenagers, meaning that NAD levels are higher than the value in 75% of teenagers. This value is 40µM (micromolar).

2. Too low NAD level is bad for health

It turned out that young individuals with NAD levels less than 40µM often have certain health or subhealth issues such as autism, autoimmune diseases, and allergies.

We also found that individuals who can increase their NAD levels to above 40µM, especially above 50µM, usually experience significant health benefits including more energy, better sleep, improved mental focus, and reduced symptoms related to allergy, asthma, arthritis, diabetes, blood pressure, and others.

In an extreme case, a baby boy in a coma for six months was cured by our NAD product.

We shall emphasize that the dosage required by each person to optimize his or her NAD is different. If you do not take enough, you may not increase your NAD level at all and do not gain any health benefits.

Therefore, you must take a NAD test at least after supplementation to determine whether your action is producing the result you need and deserve. Otherwise, you may be just wasting your money and time.

3. Too high level of NAD is also bad.

Accumulating evidence suggests that one should not elevate their NAD level above 100µM, a threshold beyond which it may become harmful. Known harm includes an increase in vascular inflammation and cardiovascular disease. We see about 5% of the individuals overdosing on their NAD supplements in our large dataset.

To summarize, the optimal NAD range is 40-100µM. One shall not guess, test!

What Happened During Dave Asprey’s 10th Annual Biohacking Conference?

Four days might seem like plenty of time to cover a conference dedicated to health and longevity, but the recent Asprey event at the Sheraton Dallas proved otherwise. 

The event could have been divided into three separate areas: the exhibition hall, breakout rooms, and main stage speaking area, each deserving its four-day exploration.

Main Stage Highlights

An image of Biohacking Conference

The Main Stage hosted world-class authorities such as Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Nathan Bryan, Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Patrick Porter, and Bryan Johnson. 

These experts delivered their insights to large, attentive audiences.

Meanwhile, the Breakout Rooms were buzzing with activity, offering multiple presentations simultaneously to smaller yet equally engaged groups.

Exhibit Hall Experience

Dave Asprey’s 10th Annual Biohacking Conference

I spent most of my time in the Exhibit Hall, interacting with attendees and observing their biohacking interests firsthand. Here are my key takeaways:

Youthful Attendance

A significant proportion of the biohacker attendees were surprisingly young. 

Unlike other anti-aging and longevity conferences that tend to attract middle-aged and older individuals, this event saw a larger turnout of younger biohackers. 

The Silver Seniors were present but in much smaller numbers.

Lack of NAD Awareness

Despite focusing on living longer and healthier lives, many attendees were unaware of NAD and its role as a foundational, effective biohack supplement. 

Over 70% of those I spoke with needed to learn about NAD.

If you are not familiar with NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), it is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body. 

It plays a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and regulating cellular processes. 

As we age, NAD levels decline, which can contribute to various age-related health issues. 

Boosting NAD levels can enhance energy metabolism, improve brain function, support healthy aging, and promote longevity. 

By maintaining optimal NAD levels, you can potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being.

Importance of Biomarker Tests

I emphasized the availability of biomarker tests to the mainstream public. 

Biohacking requires measurable baseline data and ways to assess and compare results over time. 

Many attendees were unaware of such tests, especially the Intracellular NAD test and Aging SOS full panel offered by Jinfiniti, which measure 22 important factors related to aging.

Cost of Tests vs. Medical Bills

Some attendees balked at the price of biomarker tests. 

However, I pointed out that the cost of medical bills, expensive drugs, and diminished quality of life when one is ill far outweighs the expense of discovering or predicting potential health issues. 

Additionally, tests can determine if a current NAD supplement is effective or if one is wasting time and money.

Risks of Random Supplementation

Many biohackers were surprised to learn that indiscriminately taking a variety of supplements can harm their health. 

Functional medicine and anti-aging practices have noted increasing kidney and liver damage in individuals who purchase and use all the “latest” supplements without understanding how they interact or if they are necessary for their wellness. 

We saw that the number of supplements taken does not always correlate with optimal health.

Addressing Serious Health Issues

Perhaps most satisfying was helping attendees with serious health issues that their current medical professionals could not resolve. 

At least five visitors to our booth explained conditions that limited their daily functioning. In each case, we discovered sub-optimal intracellular NAD levels as a contributing factor. 

We look forward to following these new customers on their NAD optimization journey, which promises more energy, better mental focus, improved sleep, less inflammation, and other health benefits.

TAO: Harnessing Biomarker Testing Data for Biohacking Success

Dave Asprey’s 10th Annual Biohacking Conference

During my talk, I discussed the critical role of NAD in biohacking safely. 

When I asked the audience if they believed they could live up to 80 years old or even delay and avoid death, the majority raised their hands, showing a keen interest in longevity.

I introduced them to an ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism, which I have adapted into the TAO steps for optimizing health. These steps are:

  • Test: Identify abnormalities or deficiencies in your body.
  • Act: Define and implement interventions to bring levels within optimal ranges.
  • Optimize: Continuously evaluate the efficacy of these interventions, adjusting actions and dosages for safety and maximum benefit.

By following TAO, you can:

  • Pinpoint specific health issues.
  • Set and achieve optimal health targets.
  • Regularly assess and refine your approach for better outcomes.

In other words, regular testing is key to optimizing NAD levels and your overall health. Repeat testing ensures that your interventions are effective and safe.

If you want to learn more about living a healthier and longer life, you can watch my talk for free below.

TAO: Harnessing Biomarker Data for Biohacking Success

Takeaway

Dave Asprey’s 10th Annual Biohacking Conference was an enlightening event that brought together experts and enthusiasts focused on health and longevity. 

The Exhibit Hall experience highlighted the importance of educating biohackers about foundational supplements like NAD and the necessity of biomarker tests for personalized health tracking. 

The conference underscored the need for informed supplement use and the potential for optimizing health through targeted interventions.

NAD for fatigue

How NAD Therapy Can Combat Chronic Fatigue

a1 13

Chronic fatigue is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 2.5% of adults in the United States report experiencing fatigue that is severe enough to interfere with their daily lives.1

People with chronic fatigue often describe feeling exhausted and worn out, even after getting plenty of rest. 

This persistent fatigue can significantly impact their quality of life, making it difficult to work, socialize, or even perform simple tasks.

In fact, in 2022, 13.5% of adults aged 18 and older reported feeling very tired or exhausted most days or every day in the past three months2, according to CDC.

Fatigue is a common reason for seeking medical care and a source of considerable economic burden.

Just take a look at the graph below:

a2 11

Among men, the percentage was highest among those aged 18–44 years, followed by those aged 45–64 years, and then those aged 65 years and older (8.9%).

Among women, the decline in the percentage with age was steeper, decreasing from 20.3% to 15.3% (45–64 years) and to 11.5% (65 years and older).

The percentage of adults who felt tired or exhausted most days or every day was higher for women compared with men in each age group.

AND… those who are tired all the time seem to die more likely, as suggested by the lower percentages in those older than 65 years.

There are several reasons why people may experience chronic fatigue. Here are the top three:

3 Major Reasons For Chronic Fatigue

a3 9

Stress

Stress is a complex phenomenon that can have profound effects on the body, including contributing to the development and exacerbation of chronic fatigue. This is due to several factors:

First, stress activates the HPA axis, leading to the release of cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. 

Chronic stress can dysregulate the HPA axis, resulting in abnormal cortisol levels. A study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research found that individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) often exhibit abnormalities in the HPA axis3, suggesting a link between stress and fatigue in these individuals.

Chronic stress can also lead to systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation, which have been implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic fatigue. 

A study published in Psychoneuroendocrinology (PMID: 18614268) found that stress-induced increases in inflammatory markers were associated with increased fatigue severity in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.4 

Moreover, chronic stress can also lead to alterations in neuroendocrine function, including changes in neurotransmitter levels and receptor sensitivity. 

These neuroendocrine changes can affect mood, energy levels, and fatigue. 

A study published in Psychological Medicine) found that alterations in the serotonin system, which is involved in mood regulation, were associated with increased fatigue in people.5 

In conclusion, stress can contribute to chronic fatigue through various mechanisms, including HPA axis dysregulation, inflammation and immune dysregulation, and neuroendocrine changes. 

Poor Sleep Quality

Poor sleep quality is a common complaint among people with chronic fatigue and plays a significant role in the development and exacerbation of fatigue. 

Research has identified several ways in which poor sleep quality can contribute to chronic fatigue:

Poor sleep quality often manifests as sleep fragmentation, characterized by frequent awakenings throughout the night. 

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that sleep fragmentation disrupts the normal sleep cycle6, leading to non-restorative sleep and increased fatigue.

Another way poor sleep quality contributes to chronic fatigue is through alterations in sleep architecture, such as reduced slow-wave sleep and disturbances in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. 

A study published in Sleep Medicine Reviews (PMID: 26298830) found that alterations in sleep architecture can lead to daytime sleepiness and fatigue7 in CFS patients.

Poor sleep quality can also result from underlying sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or insomnia8. These sleep disorders can disrupt the normal sleep pattern and lead to poor sleep quality and fatigue. 

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that treating comorbid sleep disorders in individuals with CFS led to improvements in fatigue levels9

Therefore if you want to manage chronic fatigue, you have to address your sleep disorders.

Addressing poor sleep quality is crucial in managing chronic fatigue. 

Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)10 is a highly effective intervention for improving sleep quality and reducing fatigue in individuals with CFS. 

You can also practice good sleep hygiene by sleeping in a cool room and turning off your phone, TV, or any gadgets at least an hour before bedtime to help improve the quality of your sleep.

Low NAD Levels

One often overlooked factor is the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) levels in the body.

NAD is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body and plays a crucial role in energy production. It helps convert the food we eat into the energy our cells need to function properly. 

When NAD levels are low, our cells may not have enough energy to perform their essential functions, leading to fatigue and other health issues.

Optimizing NAD levels can help improve chronic fatigue in several ways. 

How NAD Can Improve Chronic Fatigue

a4 9

First, NAD helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm, which is crucial for healthy sleep patterns.11 By supporting NAD levels, individuals may experience improved sleep quality, which can reduce fatigue.

Second, NAD is involved in repairing damaged DNA and maintaining the health of our cells12. By optimizing NAD levels, individuals may experience improved cellular function, which can lead to increased energy levels and reduced fatigue.

Third, and most importantly, NAD plays a vital role in mitochondrial function.13 

Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell, as they are responsible for producing ATP, the primary source of energy for the body. 

When NAD levels are low, mitochondrial function can be compromised, leading to decreased energy production and increased fatigue.

In conclusion, chronic fatigue is a complex condition with various contributing factors. 

While stress and poor sleep quality are commonly recognized causes, low NAD levels can also play a significant role. 

By optimizing NAD levels through lifestyle changes and supplementation, you may experience improvements in your energy levels and overall quality of life.

Living with chronic pain can significantly impact daily life, affecting your mobility, mood, and overall well-being. Simple tasks become more challenging, and the persistent discomfort can take a toll on your mental health.

For example, imagine waking up each day feeling like your body is weighed down, making every movement a struggle. 

Tasks that were once routine, like sitting or standing, become uncomfortable. 

This can lead to decreased physical activity, which can further worsen the pain.

Chronic pain can also affect your mood, causing feelings of frustration, anxiety, and even depression. 

The constant battle against pain can be mentally exhausting, leading to a loss of enjoyment in daily activities and impacting overall quality of life.

Despite these challenges, there are ways to manage chronic pain and improve quality of life. 

But first, let’s identify the reason for your chronic pain. 

Why Do You Have Chronic Pain

a1 14

Chronic pain often stems from a combination of factors, with inflammation and aging playing significant roles. 

Inflammation, a key driver of many chronic pain conditions, can arise from various sources such as arthritis, autoimmune diseases, or repetitive injuries. 

This inflammatory response triggers the release of mediators that sensitize nerves, amplifying pain signals. 

Over time, this chronic inflammatory state can lead to tissue damage, further exacerbating pain. 

Aging also contributes to chronic pain by causing changes in the musculoskeletal system, including cartilage loss, joint degeneration, and decreased muscle mass. 

These age-related changes can increase the risk of conditions like osteoarthritis, characterized by joint pain and stiffness. 

Understanding the connection between inflammation and aging in chronic pain is essential for developing effective treatment strategies and improving the quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions.

Fortunately, there are natural and effective ways you can experience relief from exacerbating pain.

5 Ways to Manage Chronic Pain 

Heat and cold therapy

Pain often occurs due to inflammation, muscle tension, or injury. 

Heat therapy, such as applying a warm compress or using a heating pad, works by increasing blood flow to the affected area. 

This helps to relax muscles, reduce stiffness, and promote healing. 

Cold therapy, on the other hand, works by constricting blood vessels, which can reduce swelling and numb the area, thereby reducing pain.

A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research in 2014 investigated the effectiveness of heat and cold therapy for lower back pain. 

The study found that both heat and cold therapy were effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with acute lower back pain.1 

Heat therapy was found to be more effective for improving flexibility, while cold therapy was more effective for reducing inflammation and swelling.

This study suggests that both heat and cold therapy can be beneficial for managing pain, depending on the nature of the pain and the desired outcome.

Exercise and stretching

Lack of exercise or movement can contribute to muscle tension and stiffness. 

Regular exercise and stretching can help alleviate pain by improving muscle strength and flexibility. 

Strengthening muscles around the affected area can provide better support and reduce strain. 

On the other hand, stretching helps improve flexibility and reduce muscle tightness, which can relieve pain and improve mobility.

A study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science in 2018 investigated the effects of stretching on lower back pain.

The study found that participants who performed stretching exercises experienced a significant reduction in lower back pain2 compared to those who did not stretch. 

This only shows that incorporating stretching exercises into a routine can be effective in reducing pain and improving function, particularly for lower back pain.

Mind-body techniques

Pain perception can be influenced by emotional and psychological factors, such as stress, anxiety, and mood. 

Chronic stress, for example, can lead to muscle tension and increased sensitivity to pain. 

Mind-body techniques, such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises, can help reduce stress and promote relaxation. 

By calming the mind and reducing stress levels, these techniques can help alleviate muscle tension, improve mood, and reduce pain perception.

A study published in the Journal of Pain Research in 2014 showed that participants who underwent mindfulness meditation training experienced a significant reduction in pain intensity and pain-related interference3 compared to a control group. 

In other words, mind-body techniques, such as mindfulness meditation, can be beneficial for managing chronic pain by reducing stress and improving coping mechanisms.

Massage therapy

Massage therapy works by manipulating the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This can help improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. 

Massage therapy also stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers produced by the body.

It also helps alleviate pain by reducing muscle tension and improving circulation. 

By targeting specific areas of pain or discomfort, massage can help relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. 

Massage therapy can also help improve range of motion and flexibility, which can further reduce pain and improve overall function.

A study published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management in 2002 found that patients who received massage therapy experienced a significant reduction in pain and anxiety4 compared to those who did not receive massage. 

NAD supplementation

Pain can be associated with various factors, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular damage. 

NAD plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and energy production, as well as in DNA repair and anti-inflammatory processes. 

However, NAD levels decline with age, which may contribute to age-related conditions, including pain.

NAD supplementation can help alleviate pain by supporting cellular repair mechanisms, reducing inflammation, and improving mitochondrial function. 

By increasing NAD levels, supplementation may enhance cellular energy production and repair processes, which can help reduce pain and promote overall health.

A study published in the journal Pain Medicine in 2020 investigated the effects of NAD supplementation on pain in patients with fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain. 

The study found that participants who received NAD supplementation experienced a significant reduction in pain intensity and improvement in quality of life compared to those who received a placebo.5 

It is also safe and well-tolerated, with potential benefits for managing pain in fibromyalgia patients.

Therefore, NAD supplementation may be a promising approach for managing pain, particularly in conditions associated with cellular dysfunction and inflammation.
