*IV Ketamine and NAD+ and the Stellate Ganglion Block have been used clinically off-label for decades. They are not FDA approved for the treatment of any psychiatric or pain condition. All medical treatments carry risks and benefits that you must discuss with a doctor at Clarus Health to learn if these therapies are right for you.
NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body. When it is deficient, it may affect your aging, cognitive performance, and much more.
NAD+ is a coenzyme of vitamin B3 that is vital for healthy metabolism and healing.
Our cognitive performance can be decreased by multiple factors:
NAD+ plays a critical role in our energy metabolism and reduction of oxidative stress. The normal decline in NAD+ levels with age coincides with the development of cognitive impairment from many of these conditions. Ongoing studies support the mechanism of NAD+ supporting brain health in dementia, diabetes, stroke, age-related cognitive decline, and traumatic brain injury. In fact, NAD+ supplementation appears to protect the integrity of the blood-brain barrier: the cellular barrier that protect the brain from toxins in the blood.
Our skin is our first line of defense to environmental damage. In fact, NAD+ levels decrease in the skin over time in areas where DNA damage accumulates. NAD+ supports healthy skin in many ways:
NAD+ supports healthy aging in multiple ways:
It is believed that NAD+ deficiency actually accelerates aging. These benefits in aging are in addition to its improvements in improving the quality of life.
NAD+ promotes cardiovascular performance through several key pathways:
In fact, NAD+ levels decrease with higher blood pressure and obesity.
Your body is exposed to toxins everyday, including:
Detoxification requires support for oxidation, DNA repair, redox homeostasis, optimized metabolism. NAD+ is central to many of these functions. In particular:
NAD+ has numerous impacts on your body. You can read recent reviews in Nature and the American Heart Association journals. Contact Clarus Health to learn more about BR+ certified NAD+ therapy in the San Francisco Bay Area.
