NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme commonly found in living creatures—especially humans. A coenzyme is needed by the body in order for enzymes in cells to work. It is involved in critical bodily processes and, most importantly, energy metabolism. NAD+ is the cornerstone to maintaining healthy internal organs, brain and nervous system.   

Adding NAD+ via IV Therapy or IM Injection can “bio-hack” the body into functioning better on a molecular level, and possibly defend against future maladies. NAD+ works by turning nutrients into ATP, the energy currency of each cell. Then, it aligns with the proteins to carry out essential biological processes such as DNA repair, mitochondrial function, chromosomal integrity, gene expression, epigenetic modifications, calcium signaling and post-translational modifications. 

Some of the proteins that regulate these processes are called “sirtuins” which promote cell health including cellular resistance to stressful conditions and aging. Sirtuins require NAD+ to function. However, NAD+ is reduced and converted to NADH once it transports electrons, so our bodies need to continually synthesize NAD+. Herein lies the dilemma—our bodies produce less and less NAD+ as we age, and that’s where Point Luminex comes in!
