NAD+ Therapy: What it does and how it works

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, or NAD+, is a naturally-occurring enzyme in your body. It’s present in every cell, providing them (and you) with energy and DNA repair. The downside is that its levels decrease with age, leading to a range of symptoms.

Fortunately, the UroFill® Clinic in Miami offers NAD+ therapy to get you feeling more like your younger self again: Increased energy, mental clarity and muscle recovery are all documented effects.

How Does the UroFill® Clinic Administer NAD+?

NAD+ molecules are too large to be absorbed by the body in supplement form, meaning that pills will have a minimal effect (if any). That’s why we typically administer them directly into a patient’s muscles to ensure the maximum benefit.

Is NAD+ the same as vitamin B3?

Vitamin B3, or niacin, is the precursor to NAD+. In other words, by eating fish, avocado, and other B3-rich foods, your body naturally converts it into NAD+ to fuel your cells. Unfortunately, metabolic issues and the aging process can either block or slow this conversion down, leading to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and muscle aches. 

Are there side effects to NAD+?

As a naturally occurring enzyme, NAD+ has few serious risks and is generally safe. That being said, some patients report dizziness or queasiness when undergoing NAD+ optimization for the first time. Any form of hormone optimization should be performed under the care of a qualified medical professional and an initial pre-screening to check for underlying conditions.
