So everything you do in the world requires your body to be generating chemical reactions. And you burn through your NAD levels. And as you age, you produce less and less NAD, which is one of the reasons that contributes to aging.
so from an anti-aging perspective nad is really helpful for helping reverse the clock so as you're performing these chemical reactions your body is using up the nad almost like a blank check so whether you need more energy or better sleep you have addiction problems or whatnot nad is really giving your body what it needs through that chemical reaction process it's

powering your energy production in your mitochondria. So at a very basic level, as you age and your body requires more and more NAD, repleting it with IVs or orally can really help you give yourself the stuff it needs to help prepare itself.

Great question. So NAD is made up of two things, made up of NR and NMN. And so a lot of people are out there selling NR supplements, selling NMN supplements. NAD is the combination of two. But the reason you hear about NAD specifically with IVs is that it's not bioavailable. So if you take it orally, you can't absorb it into the cells, which is why you have NR and NMN supplements.

So with this IV in particular that we're getting right now, because it's NR, it can pass through directly into our cells without having to get broken down first. Which is why when you get an NAD IV, it takes three hours because you have to infuse it, it gets broken down, it's uncomfortable, and then it's absorbed up into the cells.

Whereas the Niagen IV with NR is absorbed directly into the cells as you infuse it.

So there's been studies on both sides, NR and NMN, about the bioavailability and effectiveness. I think there's studies on both sides, but it's clearly evident that NR is absorbed into the cell directly, whereas NAD has to be broken down into the two components. And that's why you see supplements selling oral NR or NMN. You won't see supplements selling oral NAD.

would say that the literature at this point is pointing to nr being more effective and more absorbed better absorbed into the cell and leading to higher levels of nad and really ultimately that's what you're trying to get you're trying to get higher levels of nad so what's really important is to actually track your increase in nad levels to get an objective measurement and that's what's exciting right now a lot of people have been talking about the subjective benefits of nad for years
