In 2004 Charles Brenner, Head of Biochemistry at the University of Iowa, discovered that NAD was replenishable. After years of research, Professor Brenner found that a special molecule called nicotinamide riboside (NR) can be introduced into the body - and that incredibly, it will naturally convert to NAD.
NAD+ therapy is one of the results of this discovery. It’s been safely and increasingly used world-wide to replenish the body’s levels of NAD.
Put simply, when NAD+ replenishes the body’s levels of NAD, you may be able to dramatically slow and reduce the effects of cosmetic and internal ageing at a molecular level.
NAD+ mediates bio-critical physiological processes including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and immune response.Since Charles Brenner’s 2004 breakthrough, hundreds of scientific papers have been published showing the essential role that NAD+ plays at a cellular level.
NAD+ therapy has now reached a stage where it is widely and safely used across America and Europe, bringing the incredible benefits of NAD+ replenishment to thousands of people worldwide.
Now, for the first time, NAD+ infusion therapy is available in New Zealand.
Regular Auckland-based NAD+ therapy may increase your NAD+ levels significantly in just a few weeks.
The benefits of NAD+ may be remarkable, but the therapy itself is simple and easy, and administered at Edison’s Precision Medicine Clinic in central Auckland.
Edison has selected the most effective way to access NAD+ therapy, intravenous infusion. NAD+ intravenous infusion ensures you get 100% of the benefits of this new compound.
You’ll meet with one of our Edison consultants to determine the personalised NAD+ therapy experience that’s best suited to your needs, lifestyle and desired outcomes.
Take thirty minutes with one of our expert consultants to find out more about NAD+ and whether it’s the right option. At Edison, we know that making the right decision for you and your family is everything. We want to make it easier for you to make these deeply personal decisions by making a safe space for you to ask questions and get the answers you need. If you would like to find out more about NAD+ therapy, we offer a free, no obligation thirty minute consultation with one of our expert consultants, either in person or via video call.It could be half an hour that positively changes your life - and your family’s - forever.
NAD+ therapy has been safely used around the world for many years, and has been approved by the American Federal Drug Administration.
No adverse effects of NAD+ therapy have been reported in the scientific studies relating to its use.
As with any form of supplementation, if you experience any prolonged discomfort or side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
At Edison, we know that every individual’s health circumstances are unique.
The best way to find out if NAD+ treatment is right for you is to have a chat with one of our consultants.
NAD+ is the result of years of scientific research, and is accordingly not a cheap treatment.
This price barrier, combined with the limited availability of the NAD+ compound, have restricted the number of individuals who have historically been able to benefit from the therapy.
Edison wants to help make NAD+ therapy available to as many people as possible, and we work actively with our partners to keep the price of NAD+ treatment as low as possible.
The NAD+ compound is a synthetic, factory-produced compound.
It contains no living cell material, and no-one was harmed or exploited in its production.
You can benefit from NAD+ therapy with an entirely clear conscience.
Just as every individual’s health circumstances are unique, so are the benefits of NAD+ on every individual.
Generally, a booster treatment of NAD+ brings benefits that last between one and three months.
Working with you, Edison will develop a personal regime of therapy that initially brings your NAD+ levels up to a high level, then keeps them there through an ongoing therapeutic programme in order to deliver maximum benefits.
The most effective way to access the benefits if NAD+ therapy is by intravenous infusion, which delivers this powerful compound directly to the bloodstream.
The infusion process takes several hours, and is delivered by our trained medical team at the Edison Precision Medicine Clinic in central Auckland.
You’ll be greeted by our friendly staff, and given a range of entertainment options while you relax in our extremely comfortable surroundings. Most of our clients have a snooze or watch a film or two while the therapy takes place.
While the NAD+ compound has no reported long-term side effects, it is possible that some individuals may experience mild short-term discomfort during the infusion process.
We recommend talking this through with one of our expert specialists.
As with any form of supplementation, if you experience any prolonged discomfort or side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
NAD+ therapy is designed for adults over forty years of age, who will benefit from the replenishment of their naturally depleted levels of NAD+.
It is not recommended for children.
It is possible to boost your NAD levels through your lifestyle choices and diet, although not with the same speed and efficacy that NAD+ therapy can achieve. Some of the changes you can make to contribute to higher levels of NAD include:
1. Fasting - Reducing your calorie intake is a great way to indirectly boost the body’s NAD levels. Fasting has been shown to increase the levels of NAD+ and surtuins, the proteins that help slow the ageing process.
2. Pre-cursor supplementation - The pathways that result in increased NAD+ in the body are delivered through NAD precursors, there are two common compounds used as supplementation. These are Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), a form of Vitamin B3 and Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN). Please note that if taking oral supplementation bioavailability is 20% (vs 100% if taken via intravenous infusion)
3. Exercise - When we exercise, our bodies need energy, which comes from NAD+. Exercise forces our muscles to produce more mitochondria, which are the source of energy for our cells. The increased production of mitochondria results in a natural boost in NAD+ levels in the body.
4. Diet - We can get NAD+ through a diet made up of amino acids that are precursors to NAD+. There are certain foods which boost NAD levels in the body including dairy milk, fish, mushrooms, yeast, green vegetables, whole grains, and raw vegetables.
5. Avoiding alcoholic beverages – Alcohol interferes with the metabolic processes in the body, which reduces the effectiveness of NAD. You should avoid excessive intake of alcoholic drinks to ensure optimal energy and cellular function.
NAD+ is designed to replace depleted levels of NAD in the body.
Generally, this means that NAD+ is best suited for men and women aged 40+, who are concerned about the effects of ageing and lifestyle choices on their body.
