NAD IV therapy is considered to be a more effective way of boosting NAD levels in the body as compared to oral supplements, according to our research. NAD, a molecule that is essential for life and plays a vital role in promoting longevity and youth, cannot be directly absorbed by cells due to its size and complexity. Therefore, cells require a precursor that is smaller and easier to absorb. Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is the smallest version of NAD that cells use, but it needs other components added to it to convert into NAD. NAD precursors such as NR and NMN have been shown to be more effective in raising NAD levels, with NMN being the most effective as it contains all three components required to create NAD. While NR has shown promise in some human studies, it still lacks the phosphate component, which is crucial for the creation of NAD. Our research has shown that NMN supplementation can double or triple NAD levels in humans when taken orally. Clinical trials are currently underway to determine the efficacy of NAD therapy in treating diseases and extending lifespan in humans.
