PEPTIDE TREATMENT
Sermorelin
Sermorelin essentially mimics the hypothalamic peptide, GHRH. Sermorelin acts directly on the pituitary stimulating the somatotroph cells ability to produce and secrete GH. Sermorelin increases proliferation of somatotroph cells during development. With the increase of serum GH, downstream effects occur. A notable hormone that is commonly used as a surrogate for growth hormone therapy, insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), is known to increase with the administration of Sermorelin. IGF-I negatively regulates GHRH-mediated GH secretion
NAD+
NAD and NAD+ occur naturally in the body. They play a major role in the chemical process of generating energy. NAD+ is probably the most important co-factor for improving mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are intracellular organelles (AKA “energy powerhouses”) where micronutrients are converted to energy-rich ATP molecules for the cell. As we age, our body’s NAD levels gradually drop due to lower intrinsic production and inflammation/oxidative stress caused by environmental factors. This drop in NAD+ can cause fatigue, mental fog, dull and tired skin, and poor sleep quality. Boosting NAD+ may help manage a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from diabetes to cancer.
NAD+ can be administered via IV (intravenous), IM (intramuscular), or SC (subcutaneous) route. When administered by IV, some research has demonstrated its ability to improve mental clarity, memory, concentration and alertness. Moreover, NAD+ infusions may improve athletic endurance and reverse the symptoms of chronic fatigue.
Research has shown that NAD+ may have potential for fighting the effects of addiction. Excessive alcohol and drug use diminishes the amount of NAD naturally found in the body; by reintroducing it through NAD therapy, cravings and withdrawal effects may be reduced as a result. Additionally, NAD+ has been shown to boost serotonin, aiding with symptoms brought on by depression and anxiety.
How NAD IV Therapy Works in Your Body
When NAD+ enters your bloodstream through IV therapy, several processes begin:
- Energy production enhancement: Additional NAD+ allows your mitochondria (the powerhouses of your cells) to convert more glucose and fatty acids into ATP, your body’s energy currency.
- DNA repair activation: NAD+ activates enzymes called PARPs (poly ADP-ribose polymerases) that help repair damaged DNA.
- Sirtuin activation: These “longevity proteins” depend on NAD+ to function and help regulate cellular health and aging processes.
- Reduced inflammation: Some research suggests NAD+ may help decrease inflammatory processes that contribute to chronic diseases.
- Enhanced brain function: Your brain consumes about 20% of your body’s energy despite making up only 2% of your weight. Increased NAD+ may support optimal brain cell function.
Potential Benefits of NAD IV Therapy
Energy and Metabolism
Energy and Metabolism
NAD IV therapy is known to increase energy, with many reporting lasting improvements for days or weeks. This effect is due to NAD+ enhancing cellular ATP production. Unlike caffeine, the resulting energy feels clean and alert, without jitters or anxiety.
Cognitive Function and Mental Clarity
The brain relies heavily on efficient energy metabolism, making neurons sensitive to energy shortages. Some small studies and anecdotal reports indicate that NAD IV therapy may help improve cognitive function in various ways.
- Improved focus and concentration: Many individuals who have undergone NAD IV therapy report a noticeable increase in their ability to concentrate on tasks. This enhanced focus allows for greater productivity and sustained attention throughout the day.
- Mental clarity: Recipients often experience a reduction in the “brain fog” that can be associated with aging or chronic health conditions. As a result, clear thinking and sharper mental processing become more attainable.
- Memory support: Preliminary research suggests that NAD IV therapy may provide benefits for memory and cognitive processing. Some people find it easier to recall information and process complex ideas after treatment.
- Mood enhancement: Although NAD+ therapy is not officially classified as an antidepressant, many recipients report positive effects on mood. This mood improvement can contribute to an overall sense of well-being and increased motivation.
Anti-Aging and Cellular Repair
The relationship between NAD+ and aging is a compelling focus within the field of longevity research. Over the past decade, animal studies have provided evidence that increasing NAD+ levels can lead to a longer lifespan and an extended healthspan, which is defined as the portion of life spent in good health. Although human studies have not yet shown direct evidence of extended lifespan, there are several mechanisms by which NAD+ therapy may help slow certain aspects of aging.
- Enhanced mitochondrial function: NAD+ helps the mitochondria—often referred to as the cellular “power plants”—operate more efficiently. When mitochondria function optimally, cells throughout the body are able to work better overall.
- Improved cellular resilience: With higher NAD+ levels, cells become more adept at adapting to stress and repairing damage, which supports overall cellular health and longevity.
- Sirtuin activation: NAD+ activates sirtuins, a group of proteins that regulate a variety of processes related to healthy aging. These processes include DNA repair, metabolism, and cellular survival.
- Reduced oxidative stress: By supporting the body’s antioxidant systems, NAD+ aids in neutralizing free radicals, which helps lower oxidative stress and supports cellular integrity.
- In addition to these cellular mechanisms, some practitioners have observed that NAD+ therapy can lead to noticeable improvements in skin quality, sleep patterns, and the body’s recovery time following exertion. Each of these factors contributes to both feeling and appearing more youthful.
Support for Chronic Conditions
Although NAD IV therapy is not a cure for any disease, it has demonstrated potential as a supportive treatment for a range of chronic health conditions. Below are several areas where NAD+ therapy has shown promise:
- Neurodegenerative diseases: Early research indicates that NAD+ therapy may offer benefits for individuals with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome: Some patients undergoing NAD IV therapy have reported significant improvements in energy levels and a reduction in the severity of symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Metabolic disorders: Given NAD+’s central role in metabolism, this therapy may be beneficial for those managing metabolic disorders like diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
- Autoimmune conditions: The anti-inflammatory properties of NAD+ may support the modulation of certain autoimmune responses, potentially offering relief for individuals with autoimmune diseases.
It is important to emphasize that NAD+ therapy should be used as a complementary approach and not as a replacement for standard medical treatments for these chronic conditions.
Athletic Performance and Recovery
NAD IV therapy has gained significant attention among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for its potential impact on physical performance and recovery. Individuals seeking to optimize their training routines have turned to NAD+ therapy for several supportive benefits.
- Improved endurance: Many users of NAD IV therapy have reported an enhanced ability to train for extended periods with reduced fatigue. This improvement in endurance enables athletes to push their limits and maintain higher levels of activity during workouts and competition.
- Faster recovery between training sessions: The cellular repair mechanisms supported by NAD+ therapy may contribute to a shortened recovery time between training sessions. Enhanced cellular repair can help athletes resume their routines more quickly, minimizing downtime and supporting consistent performance.
- Increased strength and power output: By promoting better cellular energy production, NAD IV therapy may facilitate improvements in overall strength and power output. Athletes who experience efficient energy utilization at the cellular level are often able to achieve greater physical performance during training and events.
- Reduced exercise-induced inflammation: Intense exercise can lead to inflammation, which may affect recovery and overall well-being. NAD+ therapy is believed to help modulate the body’s inflammatory response to strenuous exercise, potentially alleviating discomfort and supporting faster recuperation.
