NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ Therapy at Integrative Psychiatry of Chattanooga
NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a naturally occurring co-enzyme of niacin that helps cells in our bodies produce energy. It does so by converting the energy we get from food into cellular energy.
A persons NAD+ appears to be depleted due to aging, stress and substances of misuse. NAD+ therapy appears to influence the neurochemistry of brain function, DNA repair, and signaling between molecules for cellular communication. NAD+ therapy helps to normalize neural metabolism in people with these distress states.
Though research is limited, NAD+ therapy appears to benefit patients who have emotional distress, neurodegenerative problems, substance issues and possibly spectrum related issues.
Frequently Asked Questions about NAD+ Therapy
What conditions can NAD+ therapy help with?
