NAD+ Therapy: What It Is, What It Costs, and Who It's For

What NAD+ Actually Is

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme every cell in your body uses for energy metabolism. It works inside your mitochondria — the part of the cell responsible for producing energy — where it plays a central role in the electron transport chain and ATP production.^[1] Research on whether NAD+ levels decline with age is more nuanced than often claimed: several studies show tissue-specific declines (notably in blood and brain), while the picture across the body as a whole is still being studied.^[2] Interest in NAD+ has grown alongside broader interest in mitochondrial health and longevity.

NAD+ therapy delivers it directly via injection, rather than through oral supplements.

Who NAD+ Therapy Is For

NAD+ injectable therapy is typically sought out by people focused on energy, recovery, or general wellness support as part of a longevity-focused routine. It isn't a treatment for a specific diagnosed condition — it's a wellness therapy, and whether it's appropriate for you depends on your individual health history. That's why every Prolong Health patient goes through a real intake and provider review before starting.

NAD+ vs. Glutathione

NAD+ supports cellular energy metabolism. Glutathione is an antioxidant. Some patients pursue one, some pursue both — your provider can help you decide what fits your goals during your evaluation.
