Niagen/NAD+

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a central role in metabolism, energy production, and cellular repair. As we age, levels of NAD+ naturally decline, which has been possibly linked to various age-related conditions and a decrease in cellular function.

Cellular Energy Production (ATP Generation)

• NAD+ is essential in mitochondrial function, helping convert nutrients into cellular energy via the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

DNA Repair

• It activates enzymes like PARPs that repair damaged DNA.

Sirtuin Activation

• NAD+ is a key activator of sirtuins, a group of proteins involved in regulating inflammation, metabolism, and lifespan.

Gene Expression

• It influences gene activity and epigenetic regulation, which may help protect cells from aging and stress.

1. While more human research is ongoing, the following are potential benefits based on preclinical studies and early data:

   Benefit	How It May Help
   ✅ Increased Energy	Could boost mitochondrial function and ATP production
   🧠 Improved Cognitive Function	May enhance mental clarity, memory, and focus
   🔧 Cellular Repair	May support DNA repair and cellular resilience
   💪 Muscle Recovery	May reduce fatigue and enhance performance
   🛡️ Anti-Aging Effects	Activates potentially longevity-related enzymes (sirtuins)
   ❤️ Cardiovascular Health	May improve blood vessel function and circulation
   🍬 Metabolic Health	May support insulin sensitivity and fat metabolism
   🧬 Neuroprotection	May protect neurons in conditions like Alzheimer’s

The NAD+ molecule is too large to be absorbed by cells directly; therefore it must be broken down into NAD+ precursors before it can enter the cell and boost NAD+.

This is also true of other common NAD+ boosters. Niagen NR can pass through cell membranes directly, making it the more efficient NAD+ booster because fewer steps are required for conversion to NAD+.

NAD+ IV drips have become a wellness staple among high-profile celebrities and health enthusiasts, but common drawbacks such as lengthy sessions, unpleasant side effects, and unreliable ingredient quality have left much to be desired.

Niagen IV transforms the experience with pharmaceutical-grade precision. Crafted at FDA-compliant cGMP facilities, it ensures every batch meets the highest standards of consistency and quality. For clinicians, it is a trusted solution. For wellness enthusiasts, it is a smoother, more reliable infusion that elevates wellness without compromise.

Niagen IV Is More Efficient Than NAD+ IVs!

• NAD+ levels peak sooner and test higher only 3 hours post-infusion
  • Niagen IV leads to a 20% increase in NAD+ within 24 hours of infusion
  • Niagen IV Infusion Time Is 75% Faster Than NAD+ IV
• Niagen IV Has Minimal Side Effects, While Unpleasant Effects Are Common with NAD+ IVs
  • NAD+ IVs often cause headaches, stomach pain, and nausea.
• Niagen IV Leads to More Efficiency for Clinics
  • Reduced Chair Time + Reduced Burden of Negative Patient Experiences
• Unlike NAD+ IV, Niagen IV did not elevate white blood cell counts, suggesting it may not trigger the same inflammatory response.

At Mills Urgent Care, we offer both IV NAD+ and Niagen IV. Consult with providers for further guidance on an NAD+ enhancing pathway that may support your goals! Please book a NAD+ Wellness consult here to initiate therapy.

“As a researcher deeply focused on NAD+ therapy and Regenerative Medicine, I am excited about the introduction of Niagen IV. Niagen IV represents a groundbreaking advancement. This innovative product holds significant potential in the realm of healthspan and wellness optimization… I am confident that Niagen IV will become an essential tool in the pursuit of longevity and overall health, providing patients with a more comfortable and effective option compared to traditional NAD+ infusions.”
