NAD + drip therapy
What is NAD⁺ Infusion Therapy ?
NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an important substance required for energy production and DNA repair within cells, and plays a role in maintaining health and physical strength.
The amount of NAD⁺ in the body decreases with age. NAD⁺ is said to activate the sirtuin gene (longevity gene), which is involved in longevity and health promotion. Replenishing NAD⁺ can improve fatigue, cognitive function and memory, strengthen the immune system, and combat aging. In recent years, it has been reported that NAD⁺ may be able to improve physical decline associated with aging.
Expected effects of NAD⁺ infusion therapy
● Aging care
● Improves fatigue
● Improvement of cognitive function and memory
● Strengthening the immune system
● Reduce inflammation and pain
● Improvement of athletic ability
● Improvement of athletic ability
● Recovery of muscle function
● Restores cardiovascular function
● Recovery of liver and kidney function
● Improvement of sleep quality by regulating the sleep-wake cycle
● Assists in weight management by preventing weight gain
● Reduces wrinkles and improves skin quality
etc.
The difference between "NAD⁺ " and "NMN"
NMN infusions have similar functions and effects to NAD⁺ infusions. While "NMN infusions" have recently become a hot topic in Japan, "NAD + infusions," in which NAD⁺ itself, which NMN is converted into in the body, is administered intravenously, are becoming more common in the United States. When NMN is taken into the body, it is converted into NAD⁺ . NAD⁺ infusions avoid this metabolic process and can directly take up NAD⁺ in the body, which can be expected to have a rejuvenating effect by increasing NAD+ more efficiently in the body.

Treatment overview
Treatment flow
1. Counseling
Blood samples will be taken and tested to check the patient's overall condition and whether they have any infectious diseases.
2. Intravenous drip
A preparation containing NAD⁺ will be administered intravenously into either the left or right arm.
The infusion takes several hours.
3. Needle removal
Treatment period and number of times
The treatment will vary depending on the patient's condition and symptoms, so we will decide after you have examined us.
Although a single treatment can be effective, since the components ingested through NAD⁺ infusion usually remain in the body for 2 to 3 weeks, it is thought that NAD⁺ infusion therapy is more effective when administered once every 2 weeks to 1 month.

Risks and side effects
In rare cases, symptoms such as vascular pain, heat, redness, and rash may occur at the injection site.
Regarding elective medical treatment using unapproved drugs, etc.
● Clear indication that the drug is an unapproved drug, etc., and clear indication of the acquisition route, etc.
The NAD⁺ preparation used in this treatment has not been approved under the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act. In Japan, unapproved medical devices can be used at the physician's own risk.
● Availability of domestically approved drugs, etc.
Currently, there are no other drugs approved in Japan that have the same properties as those used in this treatment.
● Information on safety in other countries
At present, no serious side effects have been reported.
