What is NAD+ Therapy and How Can It Support Mental Wellness?
At Sturges Family Practice in North Idaho, we believe in supporting mental wellness through a comprehensive, whole-person approach. One therapy that has been gaining attention for its potential to boost mental clarity, mood, and overall brain health is NAD+ therapy.
Understanding NAD+
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular communication. Simply put, NAD+ helps our cells function at their best.
As we age, experience chronic stress, or struggle with mental health challenges, NAD+ levels in the body can decline. This depletion can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and difficulty maintaining focus, making everyday tasks feel more challenging.
How NAD+ Supports Mental Health
NAD+ therapy works by replenishing these vital coenzymes, which can have several benefits for mental wellness:
Increased cellular energy: By boosting energy production at the cellular level, NAD+ can help reduce brain fog and combat fatigue, helping you feel more alert and focused.
Support for brain function and mood regulation: NAD+ plays a key role in the chemical processes that regulate mood and cognitive function.
Aid in recovery from depression and burnout: Emerging evidence suggests that NAD+ therapy may complement other treatments for stress, anxiety, and depression, helping the mind recover more efficiently from burnout.
What a Typical NAD+ Infusion Looks Like
At Sturges Family Practice, NAD+ therapy is administered in-office via IV infusion, allowing for direct absorption into the bloodstream for maximum effect. Here’s what you can expect during a session:
Session length: Infusions typically last 1–3 hours, depending on the dosage prescribed by our medical team.
Safe and monitored treatment: Our trained staff ensures comfort and safety throughout the process.
Noticeable benefits: Many patients report improved energy, mental clarity, and mood after completing their sessions. Some notice changes even after the first infusion, though a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results.
