A naturopath close to me said in her 25 years of practice NAD+ IV has become her most powerful tool period. Just amazing!
Wow... That is so true!
@@BodyofHarmony The cool thing, my son and I presented NAD+ IV to her for the first time to help my son with a life threatening addiction to Xanax and Suboxone. He was completely off in fourteen days with barely any withdrawal, it saved his life. That was her first experience with it. In the last two years she's built 5 cabins for patients to stay while receiving the IV treatments. She's absolutely stunned by what it does helping a wide variety of afflictions and she doesn't charge an arm and a leg.
@@BodyofHarmony Honestly I think NAD is nature's best answer to pharma chemicals many who don't work so well. I loved the testimony from a retired cop who started NAD drip diagnosed with Parkinsons. In one month his symptoms reversed and he stopped taking his prescribed meds. What a victory for those involved in helping the afflicted by offering this wonderful product.
Now that's Clincal Experience!
Even the most highly educated naturopaths get only a fraction of the training that physicians get. I wouldn’t take theirs advice, they are often ignorant of even basic biology and physiology.
Im so glad these guys are around in my area now. Love this stuff
I am glad you liked it!
Thank you Dr Hakimi. You have explained the benefits and function of NAD so well.
I am glad it was beneficial.
What he forgot to mention is that he's 107 years old. Lookin' good Doc!😁
Ahahahaha... Thanks!
I am in my mid 50's and my nephew said I look 49. Man GTFOH kid! 😂
@@averagebodybuilder congratulations 🎉 you don't look a day over 75 🎉 😅
@@DANTHETUBEMAN gotta like that!
You explain everything so clearly
Thank you!
of course he is all hopped up on NAD as a IV user 😮
I did my first 2 hour nad infusion. It’s been one month and I feel amazing. I’m 64. I have never had so much energy.
Thank you for sharing that!
Thank you, it was nice session, just wanted to know how often you should have these sessions to see a difference in your health. Thank you
The frequency is based on what you want to accomplish based on what your doctor recommends. Even if you get one session in you will see the difference. During COVID I was getting those once a week. So, different frequency based on what you are dealing with.
@@BodyofHarmony Thank you for your reply, what about if someone recovering from a month long of chemotherapy, what do you suggest as Vitamins and what frequency?
Great video. Ty Doc !
I am glad it was helpful!
awesome video Dr I’ve heard of people getting nauseous during the NAD treatment and also taking some sort of anti-nausea pill or shot. and possibly having mild stomach cramps thxs
That is because the rate of administration is too high. Some of the celebrities posted receiving high NAD doses in a short period of time, and this became a trend with some people.
@@BodyofHarmony update I've done four rounds of 500 my iv nad. When should I start to feel the benefits? It's a week now I've heard maybe two weeks to fully kick in my lupus and chrons was attacking my brain and eyes with terrible fatigue!!!! I have another 2000 mg left your video was awesome in preparing me for the treatment🙌🙌
Great video, very informative. If you take a NAD+ drip, should you still supplement with NMN or NR?
NAD+ in the drip form is dissipated and used in the body. So, to keep a daily effect one can use NMN or NR. This will have added benefit.
Dr. Hakimi thank you for your wonderful explanation of NAD. What is F1? Can you explain it so I can add it on my NAD? Thank you
You are welcome!
Body of Harmony F1 (Formula 1)
A proprietary blend of essential and nonessential amino acids, vitamins, minerals.
I put this IV together for myself so I can get an IV as I am working in the office, and then it became a best seller in our practice. It is packed with amazing ingredients. It is only offered in one of our offices, Miami or Beverly Hills.
Very informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
This was a great video
Thank you!
@@BodyofHarmony can ya site one study that shows 8t works...
Great information!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for that amazing information, we all need to know and understand our body. I have a Q. Is there any improvement in the skin using nad and the others molecules?
There might be depending on the pathophysiology of the skin condition.
be taking collagen supplements for that. there's a liquid collagen with 10 types of collagen in it.
Great video Dr, I would like to know how I can get IVs with NAD and F1 for example… I am in OC, Southern California. do you do IV‘s like you just shared on this video - with patients?
Thank you Cindy! Yes, we have an office in Beverly Hills. You can get more information by calling 310-285-9914.
Ok thank you
I live in North San Diego County, is there any doctors down here where I can NAD infusions
Thank you for the breakdown, very helpful! I tried this a week or so ago for post concussion syndrome, long haul Covid and chronic pain. I felt pretty sick while getting the IV, increased headache, eye pressure, racing heart and nausea. I started with a very low dose (250). I do feel a bit better now. I’m interested in trying your supplements and getting another IV to see if I improve even more.
Make sure the drip rate is slow so you don't get the pressure effects!
The supplements we use can be found in this link:
bodyofharmony.com/collections/atp-generation-nad-support
Keep us posted please.
Sounds like you got too much too fast. A general feeling of achiness or discomfort is common, but not this. Then again, with all the stuff your body needs to be healed of, discomfort and nausea are not unexpected side effects. The discomfort eases the more your body 'cleanses'.
Drips should take at least four hours, even six. One drop every four seconds is what they do with me. Sometimes they can also give you painkilling meds such as Gabapentin to ease the discomfort.
I had one drip last week and had the same symptoms during the IV except for headache and nausea, but a few hours afterwards I felt very good. According to literature it is best to get at least 3 sessions in a row or every other day. Some places advise 6 but since it's expensive I imagine this might be a way to boost profits.
I had been suggested to drip slow, and if needed to walk around to help relieve some of those symptoms. Also, depending on location, some will give zofran to help with nausea.
@@jasonhuttermusic424 The benefits for me seem to last about three weeks. At 66yo I can jump off the excavator into the ditch and act like I'm 30!
I have been saying this... longevity is our choice! If we want to sustain our health, we have to do something about it! This will start by knowing what supplies our body needs. Start by eating a balanced diet, quit vices, exercise regularly and take an NMN supplement. Mine is a 500mg per day, NMN by Vitruvin. I just knew all of this lifespan information through Dr. Sinclair's book. It says there's no point increasing lifespan without. The goal should be to live longer while staying young and healthy. Sinclair believes that in the foreseeable future, it's possible for humans to live beyond 120 or even 150, without the frailty, diseases and disability we now associate with old age. See your result and tell the same experience.
Thank you for sharing that.
And intermittent fasting
Thanks for sharing this information, hope you still answer the comments as this video is a little bit old, my question is how often NAD therapy is best for an average budget person, weekly ? Biweekly? Monthly? Does it affect white matters disease in brain ? I want to try ozon therapy too for brain function and rejuvenation of brain, do you think NAD or Ozon therapy, which one is more effective in decreasing white matter due to small vascular changes in brain.
Thanks for your comments. I will try to answer as much as I can respecting Medico-Legal limitations. NAD should be given based on the recommendation of a physician based on your medical history, laboratory evaluation, and physiologic needs. And based on that information your physician will give you a protocol and dosage. Ozone therapy is the same. These are molecules that are active and the first rule of medicine is to do no harm. Based on his/her experience your physician can tell you how successful they can be for your situation.
I came across your channel today and am very impressed. Thank you for this very informative video.
Question
What is the protocol you follow for Alzheimer’s patients? I would love to bring my father.
Thank you!
Although we administer NAD+ IV, we don't do the full Alzheimer's protocol of NAD+. But you can find this out with researching around the area your father lives.
We have our own protocols for Alzheimer's, which include a complete evaluation, IV nutrition, NAD+, and supplements. We have 2 locations Miami and Beverly Hills.
We have been on all of the longevity supplements and we have amazing results. Fibromyalgia symptoms and sleep issues way less.
Thank you for sharing!
I took the NMD sublingual pharma grade, but I didn't know it was sublingual, so I just put that little scoop in a glass of cold water, it immediately dissolved, I downed it in the morning, ...and this stuff WORKS. It made me feel like my whole body was lubricated, muscles, brain clear, vision sharper. I'll continue drinking it opposed to putting powder under my tongue.
Yes!!! That is great. Please keep us posted on your experience months out.
@@BodyofHarmony Yes, I contacted the manufacturer and they advised that the pure NMD was intended for sublingual use and that if I drank it, it would reduce the bioavailability. I tried placing it under my tongue, but it had the same effect, it just came about faster. . Thanks for the feedback. I also tried the pure NAD+ nasal mist . That product crosses the blood-brain barrier and doesn't go through the liver.
@@eddiaz5977 That is correct. Sublingual route ends up in blood directly bypassing the digestive system and liver, so the effect is faster. Nasal preparations take the same path as sublingual, however, they have an easier access to the brain. Thanks for the information!
Brand?
Where did you purchase it?
Great content ! What is the benefit of taking NAD intravenously vs taking NMN as a supplement every day ?
All supplements have to go through stomach acid (some get denatured and don't work the way we want to at this point) and then the enzymatic reactions in the liver. This decreases the amount of active ingredients ingested. If you don't have a good supplement with high bio-availability this is even worse. With IV route the ingredients have passed the stomach and liver and are available for cells to use and a higher amount can be given.
It seems to be about bypassing digestive and filtering organs, which is why the IV is the better route. It maximizes its bio-availability, and really lets it do its job.
@@MotherSmuckers Yes!
Having done both, the IV is WAY more powerful. Like night and day.
Also very $$$. But you don't need to do it very often, like every 3-4 months, to keep your levels up.
What would you suggest for someone with morgellons and currently covered with a itchy rash / hives. Going on 3 months with it. I've tried everything I can think of except something like this. I'm desperate grasping at anything at this point. Please could this make the itching stop?!?
Dr , what’s your view on patients with endometriosis and adenomyosis taking nmn supplements to increase NaD levels?
I took my second dose today (two more to go) and it’s nearly 4am. NO SLEEP. My brain is on 🔥🔥🔥.
It seems that you are getting the higher doses of NAD+ for a specific reason. Please let us know after you are done with the protocol about the success of your protocol. Thanks!

Can NAD IV with glutathione or n acetyl cysteine.. help with benzo detox...
Also can it aid other neuroinflammation by reducing microglia activation like hydrocephalus..
Is there research on treatment regimes like this that address chronic activation of immunometabolism into predominant pyruvate cycle and ineeficent mitochindria respiration due to low carnitine levels..
@@BodyofHarmony
Glad to see the role of cell metabolism being addressed...
In ayurveda the use of heat and oils to detox first seems to weaken the signals that drive chronic pyruvate cycle at the expense of mitochondria respiration
@@kdcruz75 ey I went through MAJOR benzodiazepine withdrawal (was on 7mg of alprazolam) and all of the things you mentioned does help. I tried so many supplements. Mushrooms (specifically lions mane and psilocybin), l theanine, and magnesium were also super helpful. Ketamine therapy might help but only if you don't any benzodiazepines in your blood.
I hope you are alright. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can last for years

How does Vitamin C Help with the bad blood in the body in stage 4 Cancer patients. Please advise me on this matter. Thanks for your help and Prayers. Be blessed
Vitamin C may increase immunity. Since cancer is considered a low immunity state, vitamin C is used. It always has to be consulted with the physician who is doing the treatment of cancer as some immunotherapy, anticancer medication or radiation and vitamin C cannot be used at the same time.
Hi Dr. I love your video very informative, my question is if I have or had cancer can I take nad IV treatment?
Hello, I am glad you have recovered the big CA!
I recommend against using NAD in cancer patients until more specific studies are available. NAD might fuel cancer cells.
Please see the study below.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6315198/
Metabolic reprogramming is required for both malignant transformation and tumor development, including invasion and metastasis. Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine)
is a methoxyindole that is synthesized in the pineal gland. Importantly, melatonin has anticancer effects by stimulating apoptosis, regulation of survival signaling, suppression of metastasis and angiogenesis and regulation of epigenetic modifications that contribute to malignant transformation.
Furthermore, melatonin affects steps associated with the Warburg phenotype and suppresses the switch from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis through the regulation of critical enzymes and glucose transporters. Melatonin is involved in regulation of p53 and HIF-1, directly participate in signaling cascades that modulate aerobic glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the pentose phosphate pathway. A significant impact of melatonin in the modulation of metabolic cascades represent a unique opportunity to inhibit pathways metabolic reprogramming.
Being that NAD is essential in mitochondrial metabolism, implementing melatonin in daily doses of up to 100mg per night taken 1-2 hours before sleep may counteract any negative effects of exogenous NAD+ in cancer patients. Of course more research is needed, but I suggest doing some research on melatonin and how powerful this molecule can be when it comes to cancer and overall health of the mitochondria in addition to its potent anti-inflammatory effects it has on the human body. Dr. Russel Reiter is a pioneer on this topic and some of his lectures can be found on RUclips. BTW, I've been in the health field as a clinical exercise physiologist for the last 27 years and have specialized training in integrative and functional medicine with a focus on the prevention of disease.
I tried for fertility and it didn’t work
Joe rogan says that THC really helps the pain that these infusions bring. I bet he is right.
Super cool that ketamine clinics are giving nad inclusions along with it since they both work together and ketamine helps the pain
As I mentioned in the video if the infusion (drip) rate is adjusted to the comfort of the patient there is no pain associated with NAD infusion.
Joe said that he can ingest the IVs faster if he's high. He did not say they gave him pain.
Thank you Dr Hakimi. You 21:53 have explained the benefits and function of NAD so well. I have had several rounds of 1/2 dose IV NAD with supplementing inbetween with NMN , it seems enough for my body at this stage and it is also keeos the cost down. Why is NAD so costly?
Thank you for that!
And yes, NAD is an expensive molecule... We have to ask the pharmacists why!
Is NAD a molecule that can be taken orally
Where can I get this locally in Louisville, Ky? Also how well does it work for Alzheimer's as my father has this.
You need to search locally to find a physician in Louisville.
Please see the research below:

Hello Dr. Hakimi
Is the therapy safe for people with cardiovascular problems?
That is a very general question which is hard to answer without evaluation. I recommend you find a functional medicine physician around you first and ask their advice. Then take their advice to your PCP and Cardiologist and see if they approve of the treatment.
How do you know the dose and rout of anti-aging products. I.e. Nad and glutathione and which fits to give together. Is there a handbook that contains it? Thanks
Yes, there are courses for physicians to take which explain these information. You cannot get all the information from one course, hence a continuing education is needed for physicians.
Hello Dr, I'm just curious if you happen to have any patients that have ckd or possibly any patients that have had a kidney transplant by chance and what your opinion is on the possible benefits for a kidney transplant patient?
I'm on my second kidney transplant in the last 20 years and have just recently discovered this treatment and wondering if it could be of any benefits to me and my kidney in the area of anti inflammatory, better nutrient absorption etc ..
Thank you...
I have not found any research regarding CKD and NAD+!
I had a gastric sleeve surgery 2 years ago and since i can't have NSAIDs or blood thinners because it makes my stomach bleed, is NAD IVs safe for me to do?
Having gastric bypass is not a contraindication to NAD IV, unless you have active bleeding or you have an abnormal response to NAD. But, the physician who will be administering the NAD will take your medical history and physical evaluation and laboratory information to decide if you can get NAD or not.
Thank you for this informative vdo. Iv been told that the nad+ protocol is 1500mg within 3-6 weeks for 1st timer then 1 every 3 months for maintanace. Is this true or could you explain? thank you!
There are many "protocols" for AND+. The art of Functional Medicine / Personalized Medicine is finding where encouragement is needed in the body (physiology) and to support or augment those processes. Thus, a different "protocol" per person... medicine is never black or white, there are multiple shades of gray.
Having said that the protocol you are referring to has been tried with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and addiction/cessation/withdrawal protocols for alcohol, pain meds, and some anti-depressants and Benzodiazepines. However, it is important to work with the physiology of each person and not a specific milligram dosage.
Please keep us posted on your experience and progress with the NAD+ protocol.
I am getting NAD ivs but didn’t do the vitamin follow up IV because of cost. So I wonder how much more benefit is with them together. If the cost is prohibitive for IVs regularly, would subcutaneous injections be good? I’m 79.
Theoretically once NAD+ is in the body the physiological and enzymatic reactions start and or are revved up. Vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are part of these reactions. So, when these ingredients are given around the time of NAD IV they are more readily available to be used.
It is not a requirement as these ingredients are in the body already.
If your physicians recommends, you can take the vitamins and minerals the morning of your NAD IV so that they are already in your blood stream as you get the IV.
IN one of my Faceb**k groups- sauna - they state how awesome NAD therapy is to complete by supplements . the list of supplements is long and difficult to understand. my area in Tampa, Florida has the IV NAD .However, my concern - I have Dandy walker (just found out a few years ago) I'm50 female - loaded with toxins - parasites - hemolysis anemia - mold- adrenal fatigue ( sleep 12-14 hours day). will doing this IVNAD harm my dandy walker? (many years of MRI - all normal, for my standards) was a normal person up until age 40 when my body started whacking out. Thanks for the story!
Thank you for sharing that. I recommend seeing a cranial Osteopath. NAD helps with many different conditions, but I recommend you work on your conditions first and decreasing the amount of burden on your body.
Thank you for the video. Can NAD+ IV therapy cause any adverse long term issues with methylation?
This study suggests high levels of NAM might but not NAD.

A lot of the symptoms you mention I'm plagued with. I'm a gastric bypass patient from 2005. Need help.
I understand!
I have questions and I am not sure how to ask it but here I go . let's say at age 60 I come in to get this infusion. and my energy level is at a 5 , from a 1 to 10 scale and afterward, my energy is now at an 8 . then as time passes I slow down again will I simply go back to a level 5 or will it go lower like a withdrawal
Charles, we all feel ups and downs on a regular basis. These are based partly on our environment and experiences and diet, environmental exposures,... Our hormones play a role as well, the amount of Thyroid Hormone, Growth Hormone, Testosterone, DHEA, Estrogens, Progesterone, Cortisol, Serotonin, GABA, Dopamine,... all play a role as well and they fluctuate naturally.
What I am trying to impress upon you is that it is really hard to stay at a given number every day. But, I understand your question. We have not seen or heard anyone saying they feel less energy than before NAD IV. My guess is physiologically speaking, the function of mitochondria does not decrease when your levels of NAD (after IV) drops. Your system should go back to what it was. But since there are no specific research on this part of physiology at the moment, we will have to wait for more information.
I need had if for withdrawal from Fentanyl. I will be going in hospital for complete detox but need help for withdrawal symptoms! I am disabled and can't travel. Is it ok to order injections from ageless Rx?

What are your thoughts on methyl blue? I tried the nad with some benefits but still dealing with the fatigue and brain fog from gas exhaust gas fumes and c0vid🤦♂️🤯
Methylene Blue is good as well. One must find a comfortable dosage and only take it for a short period of time or cycle on and off.
Doc, thank you so much for the info here. If I am still Undiagnosed after 2.5 months (Jan 09th '22 sudden onset of dypsnea, the top of my inhalation is gone, granuloma under left arm,rapid pulse, no appetite-although helped by my supps, dizziness here and there, no temp regulation) With no answers, even from 1 of my functional med docs (I'm in NE FL) because we are, "waiting on labs" , this has been a huge struggle. Found NAD+ 100mg by LE. IF I get an NAD+ drip, would do you have data on it helping lungs/breathing? And should the vitamin formulation be made specific to me? IE: genova rec I need 500mcg cobalamin, 30mg niacin, etc. If you know a colleague in NE FL, I am willing!!! I just need help solving this!!! tysm
NAD+ works in a specific pathway. It will only improve your lungs and breathing if that pathway is affected. The amount of vitamins per Genova testing is a daily vitamin intake and not specific for IV. I tried to find you a colleague in NE FL but have not been successful yet.
I believe by now you should have some diagnosis that you and your doctor are working around. Please keep us posted.
@@BodyofHarmony I cannot thank you enough for your generosity with info and concern. We suspect MOLD in me, after we found it in our home. Waiting yet again for mycotoxin test from Great Plains labs. But I now have severe histamine intolerance due to this. And ENT scoped me and saw inflammation in voice box area and says I have LPR. On a 40mg PPI and forgive me, while I was happy to hear a possible 1 and all diagnosis finally, they are of no help in guiding me with balancing healing the mold with LPR. Are they cause and effect of each other? Etc. But I did find an Eastern meds doc, Abecessis who has been wonderful in guiding me to beat this mold (but again no concrete answer until we get GP labs in 2 more weeks). I am also taking an antihistamine to help. And on a low histamine diet (read dr jeneja's histamine intolerance book). This regimen just began today. But my breathing is being helped by salt room and personal salt inhaler. Bandaid, but help nonetheless. I just want my wellness back. Will hydrogen peroxide therapy help? Etc. I am willing to do what my body needs. Just need the right answers and more than 1 clinician who cares to spend the time investigating this for my healing. Tysm.
I meant to type: I need NAD+ IV injections for withdrawal symptoms detoxing off Fentanyl patches! I'm going in hospital for complete detox but I don't think I can handle the fatigue and other withdrawal symptoms. I'm disabled and can't travel. Would it be ok to order it online from Ageless Rx? They mail injections after getting medical history.
Hello Jan,
I am sorry to hear that. I am not familiar with Ageless Rx. As long as you are evaluated, monitored and advised properly by a licensed physician through out this process you should be fine.
Hi Dr. -I have 2 uterine fibroids. I’m working with my OBGYN to have them removed via a minimally invasive RF procedure. Will this type of therapy cause them to come back, or perhaps aid in their removal? Thank you.
We advise patients against using NAD in case of cancer. Fibroids are usually non-cancerous, however, I did not see any specific studies on Uterine Fibroids and NAD. NAD will not remove Fibroids.
Try serrapeptase an enzyme that eats dead protein
Which one for Weightloss and bones regeneration??? Do you deliver in Asian countries?
Our offices are located in Miami and Beverly Hills.
Do you prefer the IV infusion to an IM injection? I feel like some of the anxiety like effects are mitigated with IM?
It depends on the patient and what we are working on. So, it is at the discretion of your physician. However, in general, IM needs to be done many days a week in a smaller dose and IV is higher dose and less often.
Hello Dr. Hakimi, would you recommend NAD +F1 to a PD patient? How much NAD and how many times a week? Please help.
Any IV or combination of IV's needs to be under the supervision of a physician. The physician will decide on the dosage and frequency. Each case is different.
I love that your wife uses NAD & other supplements to enhance her meditations. I am deeply fascinated with the subjects of consciousness expansion and utilizing natural medicine to heal the body and mind.

Hello dr. I would like to know which are the side effects of NAD and which patients should avoid this treatment? Thank you so much
Everyone receiving NAD+ should have a medical evaluation first.
Here is some more info:
I am not aware of any research that shows D-Ribose, NMN, NR, Niacin, or Nicotinamide cause cancer or any causation or correlation studies attributing NAD+ to causing or exacerbating cancer.
There are theories hypothesizing that there might be a relative risk of exacerbating cancer based on the Glycolosis pathways
NAD+ is responsible for more than 500 reactions in the body and the primary source of energy to the human body.
On the other hand some of the reactions NAD+ is responsible in are in DNA repair enzymes potentially reducing the chance of cancer.
NAD+, through the effects of PARP’s, may both suppress and progress tumorigenesis, this might be related to prevention of DNA mutations.
NAD+ should not be used in breast cancer treatment or any cancer treatment which uses PARP inhibitors.
Animal studies of wild type mice has failed to provide any evidence of increased tumor size or number. Interestingly, over expression off NMNAT3 raises mitochondria NAD+ and inhibits the growth of glioblastoma cells and supplementation with NA or NAM inhibits tumor growth and multi-organ metastasis in SCID mice.
A phase 3 randomized trial of Nicotinamide for skin cancer chemo-prevention concluded Oral nicotinamide was safe and effective in reducing the rates of new non melanoma skin cancers and actinic keratoses in high-risk patients.
If someone is undergoing cancer therapeutics they should stay away from all supplements unless they have been approved or prescribed by their hematologist / oncologist. For those with previous history or family history of cancers the same statement should be made regarding NAD+ boosters.
Other studies involving FK866 to reduce the NAD+ did not show any tumor remission in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Individuals with family history of cancers, previous history of cancer, suffering from cancers, or undergoing cancer therapeutics should not use NR, NMN, NAD+, D-RIbose, or any other supplements that may increase NAD+ without the approval of their hematologist or oncologist.
I'm not someone that wishes to do an IV version of NAD but I do have the capsule supplement version from Research Labs. Would an alternative to this be to unleash a capsule in water and sip throughout the day or does it all get destroyed in the liver? I did try one capsule a week ago and I think I may have taken it to late in the day, my sleep was really bad that night and it was the only change I made to my daily regimen of supplements. So the idea of mixing it in water (if it's not horrible tasting) and sipping seems logical but just checking in with you about that idea. Thank you!
This is a question for the manufacturer of that specific supplement. The question is have they made the capsule to be able to survive the stomach acidity or to dissolve in it and if the powder is stable in water.
Do you suggest this for help with chronic hep b? I've never had to take any medicine but for over a year now my liver enzymes and DNA replication has gone through the roof and not coming down
I recommend you seek the advice of a Functional Medicine physician to help with that.
Is this available as a referral treatment for veterans from the VA?
I doubt that! But you may bring it up to your physician's attention.
What about taking it with DMSO. This takes it straight into the bloodstream
NAD+ IV (intravenous) is directly in the bloodstream!
If you are referring to oral NAD+ and DMSO, I did not find any research that proves the use or documented benefits.
I'm 51 and my workouts are low energy. I'll take supplements to try to plug the holes and get energy but no real help. Will NAD IV give me energy and how often will I need to get the IV?
Assuming you have no medical conditions, food sensitivities, hormonal abnormalities, and you have done a full medical exam... and everything is normal, yes, NAD will give you energy. The dosage and frequency is different for each person based on the response. We have patients on twice a week schedule and others on every other week.
I’ve had NAD the strongest dosage and the nurse said it was going to take 3 hrs for the entire IV drip. But because I was tolerating it ok just like a little rush she increased it and I finished it in 1 hr. An hr later I felt so sick like I was coming down with a really bad case of flu. It took me 2 days to recover from it but afterwards I was really amazing.
I just wish I could afford to pay for it once a week as it’s 700AUD
It is interesting that your body had a purging reaction with NAD+. The dosage you got was probably the strongest dosage that facility offers. There are dosages that require 8-10 hours of IV. I have noticed that some of my patients can get it faster as well. Our experience has been that with subsequent IVs they start feeling it more.
do you feel much better now, since its been awhile after the nad+
It’s very expensive for the average person how often would we have to get it? Is tru niagen just as effective?
Oral supplements are not as effective. The frequency is usually based on the recommendation of your treating physician.
Now that I've learned a little bit more about the precursors, I can see why I had such a bad Herc reaction every time I got an NAD IV.. After doing my labs, I saw that I had high amounts of inflammation and low on my b vitamins... Could that be why I had such a bad Herc reaction every time I got the NAD??
Thank you for the question: Herxheimer reaction is not part of NAD+ infusion. I think they were giving you the IV at a higher dose than your body could handle. NAD+ may detoxify cells but it does not directly work as an antibiotics!
Do you recommend getting this weekly? And are you getting 250mg or 500mg per dose? I just opened my own mobile IV hydration busness in NC and want to offer this but I need to get more educated on it before I start. Thank you so much!
I hope you get some proper training, not all from RUclips, as these videos are about what NAD is and using it as a patient. Not so much as a physician, which would be a more detailed training.
If you are a healthcare provider you can attend IV nutrition courses which will give you all the information you need.
The rush/flush feeling one gets. Is that the same as from niacin?
No, the rush is momentarily and not sustained like Niacin. As the IV drip rate is decreased it goes away.
@@BodyofHarmony thank you
Can this be used for protracted antidepressant withdrawal?
It may be tried. We have had patients who benefited from IV NAD in their quest to stop anti-depressant. However, this needs to be done under the supervision of your physicians after their evaluation and with their suggestion.
How can I find out where there is one near me or where are you located? And also, is it good for people who have had a stroke?
You need to search for Functional Medicine physicians around you. An evaluation needs to be done before deciding if it is good for you or not.
What's the benefits having high cholesterol and going through this process
I did not find any good research on this subject.

Have you had cases of people dependent on Kratom get clean by getting NAD?
I don't have any experience with treatment of Kratom dependence.
All the suplements at the same time or I must to choose one of them?
Yes, they can be taken at the same time
I do take NAC on a daily basis, my question is, can a healthy person take NAD on a daily bases as a supplement?
At this point the real question is can we find an NAD supplement that can pass through the digestive system and stay active! There are not that many pharmacies which can produce this type of NAD and have science to prove it. So, we have to stay with its precursors and supplements that support the process.
You may find some of those supplements on this link:
bodyofharmony.com/collections/atp-generation-nad-support
I am 67 would love to do Nad. The vitamin infusion place offers I believe 500 mg Nad infusion's how many do you need? Do you just keep getting them?
NAD should not be given in a Vitamin Drip facility. It should be prescribed by and administered under the supervision of a physician, given for a specific reason. Your physician will decide how much and how often it should be given, based on your symptoms and laboratory evaluation.
@@BodyofHarmony or another provider. Not all of us are physicians but we are medical professionals!
Is NAD+ ok for someone with Huntington's Disease?
I did not find any research regarding Huntington's Disease and NAD+.
It would be good to clear up the differences between NAD, NAC and NMN which out of the three which would be preferrable overall?
Thank you! This is very important. Stay tuned for a video on this...
@@BodyofHarmony Will certainly do. I have subscribed. Thank you.
I just ordered NAD supplements off Amazon. But I have no idea when to take them. On an empty stomach? After a work out? When I eat my dinner?
I really hope it works. I’ve wasted hundreds and hundreds of dollars on supplements that don’t do anything. Like collagen.
I recommend you use is as recommended on the bottle or ask the distributor for the direction. Each supplement can be different but in general energizing supplements to be taken in the morning to make sure they do not cause sleep issues.
From your comment it seems as if you are not going after one issue. NAD and Collagen do not affect the same pathways. Just because something is advertised or sounds good does not mean that you have to use it.
I recommend consulting a Functional Medicine doctor around you so they can figure out exactly what your physiologic needs are.
Also, remember some supplements affect the energy and mood and others like collagen have no obvious effect but more an internal effect.
How long should we have supplementation of Nad+ via oral route?
It all depends on your medical history, your physiology, and the reasons you are taking NAD. That is usually determined by your physician.
@@BodyofHarmony for antiaging.
Where and how can I get a treatment. I'm 61 and need it.
You can find a functional medicine physician in your area who offers IV NAD. It is better to get completely evaluated with your previous surgical history.
Hello Dr Payam, I'm reaching out to ask you if you think NAD+ could possibly be beneficial in the process to help reverse/heal Post Finasteride Syndrome. I've recently realized that Finasteride has made me very ill. I'm living with extreme anxiety, brain fog, depersonalization, and many other nasty side effects. I live a healthy lifestyle, workout 4-5 times a week, don't drink alcohol or consume hard drugs, take natural supplements and vitamins. If you could please reach out and reply to my comment I would greatly appreciate it, god bless and thank you.
It is important for you to seek advice of a functional medicine physician. The symptoms you have mentioned can be part of hormonal issues, brain physiology issues, mold toxicity, yeast over growth,... It is important to figure out exactly what is going on before one can tell if NAD+ might be beneficial in this situation.
Please keep us posted on your progress.
Do you take finasteride for hair loss? In that case try the topical one!
@BodyofHarmony Hi, you were right. Finasteride caused extreme gut dysbiosis in me. Since my last comment I found out I have H. Pylori, SIBO ,Candida, Parasites, and Leaky gut....
Aloha! How often and what dose do you get these treatments? you mentioned weekly? I'm assuming that is after a 10-14 day detox at a higher dose? is 1500 mill too high? so many places are selling drips at 1500ml. that seems high
NAD should not be administered without the supervision and medical decision making of a physician. Your physician will give you a protocol after evaluation and history taking.
QUESTION: For someone who is allergic to sulfa drugs, can they take NAD, glutathione, or NAC safely? I've heard that reactions could occur with these.
Thank you for this video. Very thorough and informative!
We are not aware of any precautions with NAD, however, we still recommend precautions with NAC and Glutathione. Depending on how severe your reaction is you might want to either not start or start at a very low dose and increase in small increments to see if you get any reactions. I recommend this to be done under the supervision of a physician. Keep us posted please.

thank you for this post...I came here looking for an answer to why I have terrible on and around the injection area...a few days after injection lasting for about a week horrible painful itching. I am alergic to sulfa. I am going to contact my doc Monday.
@@janeviscolosi6455 oh my goodness, how awful! Glad you came across this info. Just for the record, I've been able to take NAC successfully for a while now. 600mg/day, "Now" brand
@@DanielleLegacy oral NAD?
How long do these effects last, and how often should one get a
Nad drip?
The energy part will last you 2-3 days, the rest of the benefits longer.
What’s a good she to start this supplement
?
Is D Ribose the same sa nad?
Where is your practice?
Also do your supplements have fillers?
D-ribose is not same as NAD+. It is one of the molecules in the pathway of NAD+ production. Please watch my recent video for more information.
ruclips.net/video/jKnxI84_y3Y/видео.html
We have 2 practice locations: Miami, FL and Beverly Hills, CA
Our supplements are free of fillers.
Is NAD able to be given IM? If so, is the dosage and titration the same?
There are some preparations of NAD+ in the intramuscular form. The dosage and titration is not the same. It is individually driven based on different factors.
Is there any truth to the initial dosing is 500mg 4 days in a row?
There are different ways and dosages. For example, in our practice, we ramp up the dosage and frequency based on the condition of the patient. Your physician will abide by the Hippocratic Oath: "First Do No Harm"
I had surgery a year back to treat an unruptured brain aneurysm. Can i get a Nad + Iv treatment ?
You need to be evaluated by a functional medicine doctor who administer IV NAD+ for that question.
Is it effective if I only do it once a year? How often should I do this? I’m healthy 31 year old?
It depends what you are using this for. If it is for a medical condition the prescribing physician will let you know how often this needs to be done. If you have no medical conditions and no specific reason to do this it would be wise to use other supplements which you may need instead.
can you give me please an offer for the following products.
100 Pieces for Europa Pharmcy Germany
We are a physician office and offer this as one of our services.
Can I use this even though I'm a 3 yr Breast Cancer Survivor? Also, hypothyroidism?
The research is not very strong in a case like yours. Some physicians argue for giving NAD and others argue against it with history of cancers. So, this is up to the physician administering it.
Can this help with my severe seropositive rheumatoid arthritis
NAD+ works in Mitochondria. If your inflammatory process is a function of Mitochondrial dysfunction it might. It is advisable to find the reason for your inflammatory condition first. If your physicians cannot find the culprit, consult a functional medicine physician.
I had my first 250mg today, I feel great
Great! Keep us posted on your future experience with NAD please.
Update?
My husband had stroke 7 years ago, he’s paralyzed + he lost speech, he takes blood thinner ( apixaban ) 5mg twice daily. Can l give him NAD+ lV?
I cannot give medical recommendation on line. And that is a complex case. A functional medicine doctor can evaluate him and give you their opinion and recommendation.
