NAD+ injections are one of the most popular new health trends on the market – but does it really work? And how do you know if it is right for you? Read below to explore the answers to these questions and more!
At Optimal Well MD, located in Virginia Beach, VA, patients have access to one of the top leaders in anti-aging medicine: Dr. Nancy Ferrel, MD. While many new healthcare practitioners are just now entering the “anti-aging” space, Dr. Ferrel has been nationally recognized in this field for nearly 25 years.
Her breakthrough into the science of longevity began with a prestigious Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (A4M) back in 2003, and she has been at the forefront of evidence-based protocols ever since. Dr. Ferrel doesn’t get caught up in trends – she has dedicated her life to helping others age with greater strength and vitality.
The True Problem in Anti-Aging Medicine: Misinformation About NAD+
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is one of the most well-researched coenzymes in cellular health, energy, DNA repair, and longevity. But unfortunately, misinformation is everywhere. From claims that oral supplements are effective, to unmonitored self-dosing regimens, and even myths that NAD+ itself “causes cancer” – the news on NAD+ is all over the place.
Here is the real truth: NAD+ can be transformative, but only when delivered correctly and monitored carefully.
The Best Way to Take NAD+ for Your Health
The three primary methods of administering NAD+ are oral supplements, IV infusions, and intramuscular injections.
Although oral supplements are often heavily advertised, the research shows that these are generally ineffective due to the barriers in the stomach to absorption. On the other hand, while IV infusions are more effective, they can be incredibly costly, time-consuming, and often come with the unpleasant side effects of nausea and even chest tightness.
The ultimate winner in balancing absorption with the practical matters of cost and time is intramuscular (IM) injections. IM injections diffuse steadily from the muscle into the bloodstream, offering a smooth absorption with fewer side effects and lasting benefits (in a fraction of the time!).
The evidence is clear: IM injections offer clinical-grade absorption, without the high price tag and side effects of an IV drip.
Dr. Ferrel’s Unique Evidence-Based Approach
NAD+ is not a one-size-fits-all healing practice. There are strict clinical protocols that are necessary to ensure safe and effective use. Dr. Ferrel has synthesized the top research in this field to ensure that you receive the best quality treatment.
Dr. Ferrel’s unique process includes:
- A comprehensive pre-screening and medical history review
- Lab testing before clearance when necessary
- Carefully adjusted and individualized custom dosing protocols
- Ongoing oversight to ensure efficacy and safety
With the in-depth skill and expertise of Dr. Ferrel in your treatment process, you will gain access to the many benefits of NAD+ and experience true transformation in your wellbeing.
The Benefits of NAD+ When Done Correctly
When administered properly by a trained practitioner, NAD+ therapy has shown innumerable benefits, including:
- Increased energy and stamina
- Enhanced cognitive clarity and focus
- Support for healthy metabolism
- Cellular repair and resilience against age-related decline
Bioavailability is the critical factor — and IM shots deliver NAD+ where it counts. When this process is personalized and monitored by a physician, you can easily enjoy these benefits with safety and effectiveness.
