We all know that health is a gift. Eating right, getting plenty of sleep, and moving as much as possible all build the foundation of a healthy lifestyle, but are there other tools out there to support your health? Yes! At ThrIVe Drip Spa, we offer a range of specialized IV therapy and wellness services designed to help you maximize your health.
Whether you’re looking for an immunity boost, increased energy, improved metabolism, better overall health, or more mental clarity and focus, IV therapy delivers the essential vitamins, nutrients, antioxidants, and hydration you need directly into your bloodstream. This method allows for maximum absorption and optimal hydration to give your body extra support where it can be most beneficial.
One of our most popular options is an NAD+ drip. For those who might not be familiar with this fantastic IV therapy option, we’ve put together some information about what NAD+ drips are, as well as their numerous potential benefits and how they might serve your wellness needs.
What Is NAD+?
First, what is NAD+? NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme that occurs naturally in your cells, as well as in some foods like turkey, chicken, whole milk, oatmeal, broccoli, and cabbage. This compound is essential for many cell functions, including regulating your metabolism, repairing cells, and responding to inflammation.
Unfortunately, our natural levels of NAD+ decline as we age, and it can be difficult to get what you need from food sources alone. Lowered NAD+ levels can lead to dips in energy, brain fog, and metabolic challenges, among other things. Fortunately, NAD+ drips are an easy, effective, readily available option to provide a concentrated dose of NAD+ to augment your natural levels of this important compound.
Benefits of NAD+ Drips
Given its importance to overall wellness, supplementing NAD+ offers a wide range of potential benefits, including:
Cellular Health Support
NAD+ works at the cellular level to activate enzymes like sirtuins and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases, or PARPs, that repair cellular damage and contribute to cellular longevity. Cells rely on NAD+ for optimal performance, and it helps protect them from oxidative stress and environmental damage, making cells more resilient against aging and disease.
Boosted Energy Levels
Your body’s main source of energy fuel is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and NAD+ plays a vital role in your body’s ability to convert nutrients into ATP. Replenishing your NAD+ levels, then, can help combat fatigue, boost overall energy, and increase both physical and mental stamina. This potential benefit of NAD+ drips makes them especially popular with athletes and those in the fitness industry, as well as other individuals with high energy demands, such as first responders, military personnel, or people with physically demanding jobs or who work in harsh environments.
Improved Metabolism
Not only does NAD+ work naturally with your body to increase energy, but that increased energy also has positive effects on metabolic regulation. Because NAD+ enhances the metabolism of glucose, fat, and proteins, your body becomes more efficient. Increasing your levels of NAD+ can help with overall hormonal balance and insulin sensitivity, which, in turn, can sometimes aid in weight management efforts.
Enhanced Mental Clarity and Focus
As mentioned earlier, NAD+ supports cellular function and regeneration, including brain cells and neurons. Protecting brain cells and neurons from oxidative stress and inflammation is important for brain neuroplasticity and overall brain resilience.
The potential cognitive benefits of NAD+ drips include enhanced focus, concentration, and overall mental sharpness; better memory; and reduced brain fog. They may even result in improved mood and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Anti-Aging Effects
Of course, we’re all subject to the effects of aging; however, declining NAD+ levels directly contribute to many signs of aging, especially when it comes to your skin. Unstable molecules in the skin, known as free radicals, damage healthy skin cells, but NAD+ strengthens those cells to improve skin quality and tissue regeneration, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leaving skin fresh and rejuvenated.
Because NAD+ also helps with inflammation in the body, NAD+ drips can even benefit individuals struggling with inflammatory skin conditions like acne and rosacea.
Recovery Support
In our fast-paced society, burnout and fatigue have become an all-too-common reality for many. Others, like athletes, athletic trainers, fitness influencers, first responders, CEOs, construction workers, health professionals, and more, consistently experience significant physical or mental strain. NAD+ drips offer a helpful option for recovery support by:
- Accelerating muscle recovery after intense workouts or rigorous physical exertion
- Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which can occur with chronic fatigue and overtraining
- Supporting detoxification by restoring brain chemistry and reducing withdrawal symptoms
How Does an NAD+ Drip Work?
If you’ve never experienced the benefits of IV drip therapy before, you might be wondering how the process works. First, you meet with knowledgeable staff for a quick, confidential consultation to go over your health history and discuss your wellness goals and needs.
The next step is picking the right IV therapy for you. Your therapy should be tailored to enhance your overall well-being and fit into your lifestyle.
While the IVs used during your therapy are the same exact medical-grade equipment used in hospitals, your treatment experience will be very different from what you would expect from a hospital setting. At ThrIVe Drip Spa, we work hard to maintain a quiet, peaceful, healing, spa-like setting where you are comfortable and feel cared for throughout.
Because the IV fluids go directly to your bloodstream, you should feel positive effects immediately after treatment. You get all the benefits without harmful side effects.
What Can an NAD+ Drip Do for You?
It’s easy to lose sight of your health in the crush of daily life, but self-care is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your loved ones. NAD+ drips are an effective and efficient tool that can enhance your self-care regimen and significantly boost your health and wellness. Scientifically backed and rooted in cutting-edge preventative and regenerative healthcare practices, IV therapy continues to grow in popularity with people from all walks of life.
