NAD+
Cellular energy pathways
A coenzyme central to mitochondrial energy production and DNA repair. Levels decline with age and physiologic stress, which is why NAD+ is widely used for energy, cognition, and recovery support.
What it is
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme present in every cell, required for the redox reactions that generate ATP and for sirtuin and PARP activity. Compounded for injection, prescription only.
How it works
NAD+ supports mitochondrial electron transport, fuels DNA-repair enzymes, and enables sirtuin-mediated cellular maintenance. Surgical stress and inflammation increase NAD+ consumption.
Post-surgery relevance
Commonly discussed for fatigue, mental clarity, and general energy during the recovery period, when demand on cellular repair machinery is elevated.
What the evidence shows
Human data on NAD+ precursors is growing; data on injectable NAD+ specifically is more limited. Reported benefits are subjective and vary widely.
Considerations
Infusion or injection can cause transient flushing or discomfort if administered too quickly. A provider reviews your history and gives administration guidance if prescribed.
