NAD+ Therapy: Complete Guide to Cellular Energy and Anti-Aging Treatment
Experience enhanced cellular energy, improved metabolism, and anti-aging benefits through medically supervised NAD+ injections and oral supplements
What is NAD+ Therapy and Why It Matters
NAD+ therapy is a cutting-edge wellness treatment that helps patients achieve enhanced cellular energy, improved metabolism, and anti-aging benefits through subcutaneous injections and oral supplements. NAD+ is a coenzyme that the body produces naturally, and it is essential for energy production, DNA repair, and cell protection. This revolutionary approach to cellular health targets the fundamental mechanisms of energy production and DNA repair at the molecular level, supporting the function of cells and maintaining overall cell health.
At MEDY Weight Loss, we provide medically supervised NAD+ therapy to address chronic fatigue, brain fog, metabolic disorders, and age-related decline. This comprehensive guide covers NAD+ definitions, treatment options available at our Lathrop clinic, proven benefits for brain function and metabolism, and answers to frequently asked questions.
Our patients seek NAD+ therapy for immediate confirmation of search intent – whether combating the aging process, enhancing cognitive function, or supporting overall well-being through evidence-based treatments. As the premier NAD+ therapy provider in the Central Valley, MEDY Weight Loss combines clinical expertise with personalized protocols to optimize your cellular energy production and metabolic health.
Understanding NAD+ Therapy: Key Concepts and Definitions
Core Medication Defination
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) serves as your body’s primary cellular energy currency, functioning as an essential coenzyme derived from vitamin B3. This vital molecule facilitates energy metabolism by acting as an electron carrier during the biological processes that convert food into usable energy through ATP production.
NAD+ therapy encompasses two primary forms:
NAD+ subcutaneous injections: Direct delivery under the skin for rapid absorption and increased bioavailability
NAD supplementation: Oral forms including precursors like nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide
Related terminology includes NAD injection therapy, cellular energy therapy, and anti-aging treatments. The distinction between NAD and NAD+ is crucial – the oxidized form (NAD+) actively participates in cellular repair mechanisms and energy production that decline significantly with age.

Cellular protection
Why NAD+ Therapy is Important in Anti-Aging and Wellness Medicine
Scientific research demonstrates that NAD levels decline dramatically with age, creating a cascade of cellular dysfunction. Clinical evidence supports the safety of NAD+ therapy when administered by qualified medical professionals.

Important Note: Most findings are based on small-scale human trials. While these results are promising, larger studies are needed to confirm the health claims.
NAD+ plays a pivotal role in supporting mitochondrial function, the powerhouse of cellular energy production. At MEDY Weight Loss, our patients benefit from these mechanisms through medically supervised treatments that address:
The therapeutic approach targets fundamental biological processes rather than symptoms alone, offering patients a comprehensive solution for cellular health optimization.

NAD+ subcutaneous injections provide maximum therapeutic benefit through direct delivery, bypassing digestive limitations that reduce oral supplement effectiveness. The administration is carefully managed to minimize potential side effects like chest tightness or nausea while maximizing cellular uptake.
Oral supplementation offers convenient daily support for maintaining NAD levels between injections or for patients preferring gradual improvements. However, taking high doses of oral NAD supplements may increase the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort; splitting the dose throughout the day can help mitigate these side effects. Many clinics recommend combination protocols utilizing both approaches for optimal results.
Patient suitability depends on treatment goals, time availability, and individual response to different forms of NAD+ therapy. Our medical team at MEDY Weight Loss evaluates each patient to determine the most effective approach.
Step-by-Step Guide to Starting NAD+ Therapy at MEDY Weight Loss
Initial Consultation and Health Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation including:
- Week 1: One tablet (8mg naltrexone/90mg bupropion) in the morning
- Week 2: One tablet twice daily (morning and evening)
- Week 3: Two tablets in morning, one tablet in evening
- Week 4: Two tablets twice daily (maintenance dose)
Our medical team discusses your specific goals whether targeting chronic fatigue, enhancing brain health, supporting anti-aging objectives, or improving metabolic function. This assessment determines candidacy for NAD therapy and identifies the most appropriate treatment protocol.
Personalized Treatment Plan Selection
Customized protocol based on your assessment
Based on your assessment, we develop a customized protocol including:
- Treatment method selection: Subcutaneous injections for immediate effects or oral supplements for gradual improvement
- Frequency recommendations: Weekly injections or daily supplementation schedules
- Combination protocols: Integrating NAD therapy with other wellness treatments and amino acids
- Timeline expectations: Realistic projections for energy improvement and cognitive enhancement
High dose nicotinamide protocols may be recommended for patients with significant age-related decline or metabolic disorders. Our systematic review of your response guides dosage optimization and treatment adjustments.
Monitoring Progress and Optimizing Results
Ongoing assessment ensures maximum therapeutic benefits
- Weekly check-ins tracking energy levels, brain function, and overall well-being
- Follow-up blood work at 30 and 90 days measuring NAD levels and metabolic markers
- Treatment adjustments based on patient response and tolerance
- Long-term maintenance protocols for sustained cellular energy and anti-aging benefits
Our team monitors potential side effects and adjusts administration protocols to optimize comfort and effectiveness. Regular assessments of withdrawal symptoms reduction, mood improvements, and energy metabolism changes guide protocol refinements.
Common Mistakes to Avoid with NAD+ Therapy
Mistake 1: Rushing injection administration
Leading to discomfort or adverse reactions. Proper subcutaneous delivery requires careful technique to ensure patient comfort and maximum cellular uptake.
Mistake 2: Choosing unqualified providers
Without proper medical supervision. NAD+ therapy requires trained professionals capable of monitoring patient response and managing potential side effects during treatment.
Mistake 3: Expecting immediate results
Without allowing 4-6 weeks for optimal benefits. While some patients experience energy improvements within days, the full therapeutic effects of enhanced cellular repair and improved brain function develop gradually.
Mistake 4: Discontinuing treatment prematurely
Before experiencing complete therapeutic effects. Many patients stop therapy after initial improvements, missing the cumulative benefits of sustained cellular energy optimization.
When using NAD+ therapy through injections or oral supplements, consistency is key. Regular dosing helps maintain optimal NAD levels in your body, supporting sustained energy production, improved cognitive function, and effective cellular repair. Always follow your healthcare provider’s recommended schedule to maximize the benefits and minimize potential side effects.
Integrated Lifestyle Support
While medications provide the foundation, our comprehensive lifestyle program ensures lasting success beyond your treatment period.
