NAD+ Improves Metabolic Function, Increases Energy and Promotes Overall Well-being
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD+ is a naturally occurring cellular coenzyme in the body that is responsible for one’s metabolism and energy, among other things. As we age, our NAD+ level decreases, which is one of the reasons why older people often find themselves low in energy, and have a slower metabolism.
Understanding NAD+
In terms of the body’s cellular functions, the coenzyme NAD+ assists the mitochondria, which is known as the body’s “energy powerhouses,” to convert such macronutrients as protein and carbohydrates into ATP molecules. ATP molecules, or Adenosine Triphosphate, provide cells their needed energy to perform their specific functions.
Mitochondrial dysfunction could develop if you have low levels of NAD+, and when this occurs, you might experience low energy levels and low metabolic rate, resulting in the following symptoms:
- Muscle weakness
- Vision or hearing impairment
- Headaches
- Respiratory issues
- Fatigue
- Cardiovascular disease
- Impaired cognitive function
Further, mitochondrial dysfunction may also cause kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal problems.
As you can see, NAD+ plays a crucial role in the body’s cellular functions, and the fewer the body has of this, the higher your chances of experiencing symptoms commonly associated with aging, including brain fog, inability to focus or concentrate, and constant fatigue, to name a few.
Boost NAD with NAD+ Therapy and Glutathione
NAD+ therapy helps restore the body’s NAD levels to a healthy, normal state thus improving mitochondrial function, which in turn boosts your energy and overall wellness. According to research, NAD+ therapy can help improve one’s:
- Longevity
- Mitochondrial function
- Cellular metabolism
- Cognitive function
- Weight management
Of particular note is the improvement of one’s mental clarity, memory, alertness, concentration, and athletic endurance. Further, it may also help alleviate chronic fatigue.
Glutathione
Like NAD, glutathione is a naturally occurring compound in the body; and again, like NAD, one’s supply of this substance declines with age. Produced from the combination of amino acids, glutamic acid, and glycine, glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that not only protects the body from the harmful effects of free radicals but also assists in building and repairing damaged tissues. Again, with its decline, one might experience common signs of aging such as those mentioned above.
S-Acetyl Glutathione from Designs for Health is a nutritional product designed by Designs for Health. It provides 200 mg of S-acetyl glutathione, along with vitamin B6 and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). The formula is designed to support antioxidative status, cellular and immune health, healthy aging, normal detoxification, and a healthy inflammatory response2. The product is well-suited for oral ingestion, as the acetyl group protects glutathione from breaking down in the gastrointestinal tract
By combining S-Acetyl Glutathione with NAD+ therapy, you significantly enhance results from your treatment.
