NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair. Recently, as interest in the fields of anti-aging, fatigue recovery, and brain function improvement has increased, it is being used not only as an oral supplement but also as an intravenous injection.
In this article, we have summarized how administering NAD+ through infusion differs from oral intake, which people mainly consider it, and what you need to know when performing the procedure.
What is NAD+
The role NAD+ plays in our body
NAD+ is present in all cells in the body and is essential in the process of producing energy (ATP) in mitochondria. It is known that NAD+ concentration in the body gradually decreases with age, and studies are continuing that this may be associated with fatigue accumulation, decreased recovery, and changes in cognitive function.

What is the difference between intravenous fluids and oral intake?
NAD+-related products are also distributed on the market in the form of oral supplements (NMN, NR, etc.). The difference between the infusion method and the oral method is mainly Absorption route and speed of reaching blood concentrationIt appears in
