NAD+: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Support It

NAD+ isn’t a trendy ingredient—it’s a vital molecule your body needs to function, repair, and thrive. But as we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, and that drop may contribute to fatigue, slower recovery, brain fog, and even visible signs of aging.

At Alan Health, we offer science-backed NAD+ support as part of our broader commitment to metabolic health, longevity, and energy optimization. Here’s what to know.

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body. It plays a critical role in:

  • Converting food into cellular energy
  • Supporting DNA repair
  • Regulating metabolism
  • Promoting healthy brain function
  • Protecting against oxidative stress

In short: NAD+ is essential for how your body produces energy and responds to stress and aging.

Why NAD+ Levels Decline

NAD+ levels naturally decrease with age—but that decline can be accelerated by:

  • Chronic stress
  • Poor sleep
  • Alcohol use
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Illness or metabolic dysfunction

As NAD+ drops, cells become less efficient at repairing themselves, producing energy, and resisting inflammation. Many experts believe NAD+ depletion is a key driver of cellular aging.

Potential Benefits of NAD+ Supplementation

Early research and clinical interest suggest that boosting NAD+ may help:

  • Increase energy and reduce fatigue
  • Support healthy metabolism and weight
  • Improve mental clarity and focus
  • Enhance recovery from stress or illness
  • Support healthy aging at the cellular level

While NAD+ is not a magic bullet, restoring your levels may help you feel more like yourself again—especially if you’ve noticed a decline in energy or resilience.

How Alan Health Supports NAD+

We offer two NAD+ delivery options, each designed to fit into your routine:

NAD+ Patches (Iontophoresis Delivery)

These transdermal patches use a gentle electrical current to deliver NAD+ through the skin—no needles, no pills. They're ideal for people who want a non-invasive, time-released option to support cellular energy over 4–8 hours.

NAD+ Nasal Spray

Our fast-acting nasal spray delivers NAD+ directly via the nasal mucosa, offering quick absorption and brain support. It’s popular among people looking for mental clarity, especially during times of fatigue or burnout.

Who It’s For

NAD+ treatment may be worth considering if you:

  • Feel mentally or physically drained
  • Are focused on aging well and maintaining long-term energy
  • Want to support your metabolism, immune function, or recovery
  • Prefer science-backed tools to support resilience and performance

As always, our providers will help determine if NAD+ is right for you based on your goals and medical history.

The Bottom Line

NAD+ is one of the most exciting molecules in the conversation around aging and longevity. While more research is still unfolding, early data—and real-world results—point to its potential to restore energy and improve cellular health.

If you're curious about NAD+ supplementation, Alan Health makes it easy to get started with trusted, provider-reviewed options delivered to your door.
