What is NAD+ therapy?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme that plays a central role in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and other metabolic processes. NAD+ levels can decline with age and certain stressors.
NAD+ therapy provides the coenzyme through an intravenous infusion, which is a way some patients choose to support energy, mental clarity, recovery, and healthy aging. Interest in NAD+ has grown, and at Zest it is treated as a medical therapy, not a fad.
The clinical team at Zest 4 Wellness matches NAD+ to your goals and health status, determines an appropriate infusion schedule, and monitors how you respond over time.
Why patients consider NAD+ therapy
- Persistent fatigue or low energy despite good habits
- Interest in supporting recovery and cellular health
- Mental clarity or focus support
- A desire for a supervised approach to healthy aging
What is commonly evaluated
- Energy and fatigue support
- Recovery support
- Healthy aging and wellness goals
- General cellular and metabolic support under a medical plan
Who may be a candidate
- Adults interested in NAD+ who complete a health evaluation
- Patients for whom infusion is deemed medically appropriate
- Patients without contraindications such as significant heart or kidney conditions
- Patients able to commit to the infusion schedule
Before you book: NAD+ is not appropriate for everyone, and claims about NAD+ should be viewed with caution. Candidacy is confirmed by the clinical team after evaluation.
