Dr. Amauri Wellness Centre, a naturopathic clinic that offers IV therapy in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has announced that they have recently published a blog post that discusses the NAD+ benefits for brain health and restoration. NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is one of the essential elements of life but the amount of NAD+ in the body decreases with age. NAD+ has various benefits for the brain, which means that NAD+ therapy or taking NAD+ supplements may help in restoring brain function and enhancing brain health.

One of the benefits of NAD+ for the brain is that it may protect the nerve fibres from demyelination. Demyelination refers to the damage in the myelin sheath, which serves as the protective coating of the nerve fibres in the spinal cord, brain, and in specific nerves in the body. When this protective coating is damaged, the nerve impulses are hampered and are slowed down and some may even be stopped. The results are loss of vision, sensation, and coordination; muscle weakness and stiffness; pain; and changes in bowel and bladder function.

NAD+ may also help in improving a person’s memory and sustaining cognitive function. This is because neurotransmitters play an important role in memory retention and cognitive function. Clinical trials and ongoing research indicate that NAD+ may help in blood circulation in the brain of older adults with memory problems, thus improving memory and cognition. In addition, NAD+ may help in improving concentration.

NAD+ may also help in the sending of messages or signals in various parts of the body. This is because it may help in fine-tuning the role of neurotransmitters in carrying messages or signals from one part of the body to another. Various types of neurotransmitters have a role in various functions, including: appetite, memory, liver function, digestive system’s response to food, blood pressure control, motor control, motivation, sleep, heart rate regulation, and reward and reinforcement. Thus, all of these functions may be affected by NAD+ therapy or the use of NAD+ supplements. Using NAD+ for Lyme symptoms is also possible because it provides energy for many enzymatic reactions.

It has also been observed that NAD+ may help in preventing neurological diseases. These include Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Research studies have revealed that having low levels of energy in brain cells, in conjunction with an unhealthy microbiome, may result in the development and progression of neurological disorders. When NAD+ levels are increased through NAD+ therapy or supplementation, the energy and vitality of brain cells improve and may help prevent neurological problems.

And finally, NAD+ may help in re-establishing brain and neurological function. This is because it plays a vital role in the production of the energy that is required by most cells in the body. And one of the organs of the body that requires a lot of energy is the brain.

NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule in the body and it has the capability to convert glucose into energy. People who have low levels of NAD+ also have low levels of brain sugar, which means that there would be insufficient energy for the proper functioning of the brain cells.

Dr. Amauri Wellness Centre offers NAD+ IV therapy, a form of intravenous treatment. In this process, NAD+ is infused into an IV drip compound and this will bypass the digestive system to swiftly replenish the body with NAD+.

The benefits of NAD+ therapy may not be limited to helping with brain function and cognition. It may also help with anti-aging because it may help sirtuins in working properly. Sirtuins are enzymes that affect how the body ages. Sirtuins may also play an important role in preventing inflammation or in helping the body in recovering from it. Inflammation may be harmful to the body because it may negatively affect the DNA and cell structure, resulting in cell loss.
