NAD for Regenerative Medicine, Longevity & Optimal Health
NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is one of the most powerful molecules in the body for supporting cellular repair, mitochondrial function, and overall energy production. Think of NAD as your body’s “cellular fuel.” As we age—or as a result of stress, illness, or environmental toxins—our NAD levels naturally decline. This decline is directly tied to fatigue, slower recovery, inflammation, and even accelerated aging at the cellular level.
Clinical Evidence demonstrates that restoring NAD levels, can help the body repair, regenerate, and function more efficiently
Major Benefits of NAD Optimization
-
Cellular Regeneration: Supports DNA repair and mitochondrial health—the foundation of how every cell in your body functions.
-
Energy & Mental Clarity: Enhances ATP production, improving focus, motivation, and stamina.
-
Healthy Aging: Promotes sirtuin activation (the “longevity genes”) that help protect against oxidative stress and age-related decline.
-
Metabolic Health: Improves insulin sensitivity, supports healthy weight management, and enhances metabolic flexibility.
-
Mood & Sleep Regulation: NAD influences neurotransmitters involved in mood stability, stress resilience, and circadian rhythm balance.
-
Inflammation & Recovery: Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, aiding recovery after injury, surgery, or chronic illness

How We Offer It
At Treasure Valley Pain Center, we offer two high-quality forms of NAD:
-
Pharmaceutical-Grade Injectable NAD+ (PRIMARY)
-
Administered subcutaneously twice weekly
-
8 injections total (1-month supply)
-
COST: $200/month
-
Designed for maximum absorption and cellular utilization
- Subcutaneous, into fat tissue (small insulin or tuberculin 30g needles)
-
-
Oral NAD Support with NAD Precursor Option (SECONDARY OPTION, also VERY effective)
Oral NAD itself isn’t well absorbed because it breaks down in the digestive tract before reaching cells, whereas nicotinamide riboside (NR) is efficiently absorbed and directly converted into NAD⁺ inside the body, making it a far more effective way to raise cellular NAD levels
-
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)
-
Most studied in humans — over a decade of peer-reviewed clinical trials.
-
Shown to raise NAD⁺ levels by 40–60% within weeks of oral use.
-
Proven benefits in studies on metabolic health, neuroprotection, and muscle performance.
-
Excellent safety record, even at higher doses (up to 2000 mg/day).
-
Found in brands like Tru Niagen® (used in many clinical trials)
- COST: $65/month
-
-
Available through our FULLSCRIPTS ONLINE DISPENSORY
-
Ideal for maintenance or for those preferring a non-injectable option
-
While NR is an excellent and well-researched oral option for maintaining NAD⁺ levels, injectable NAD⁺ therapy provides a more direct, potent, and rapidly noticeable effect — ideal for patients needing deeper cellular repair, improved recovery, and enhanced vitality.
Both approaches can complement each other, with NR for daily maintenance and NAD⁺ injections for accelerated replenishment or periodic optimization cycles
SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF INJECTABLE NAD+ VERSUS ORAL NR
Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) vs. Injectable NAD⁺ Therapy
| Feature | Oral Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) | Injectable NAD⁺ (125 mg SQ twice weekly) |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Precursor that’s converted into NAD⁺ inside the cell. | Delivers active NAD⁺ directly into circulation for immediate cellular use. |
| Absorption | Absorbed through the gut, but partially metabolized before reaching cells. | Bypasses digestion, ensuring full bioavailability and faster effect. |
| Onset of Results | Gradual — typically noticed over 2–4 weeks. | Rapid — many patients report improved energy and focus within days. |
| Clinical Evidence | Extensive human research supporting safety and NAD⁺ elevation by 40–60%. | Growing clinical and anecdotal evidence for cellular repair, energy, and recovery benefits. |
| Primary Benefits | Supports healthy aging, mitochondrial function, metabolic health, and cognitive clarity. | Enhances energy, focus, recovery, mood, and cellular repair; beneficial for longevity and detox pathways. |
| Convenience | Taken daily as a capsule (via Fullscript). | Twice-weekly subcutaneous injection (8 total per month). |
| Ideal For | Patients seeking gentle, ongoing NAD⁺ support or maintenance. | Patients wanting immediate, therapeutic-level results for regeneration, fatigue, or anti-aging support. |
| Cost | $65/month through our FULLSCRIPTS SUPPLEMENT SHOP | $200/month for a pharmaceutical-grade, ready-to-administer kit. |
Real-World Results
We’re seeing excellent results with patients who have incorporated NAD therapy—more energy, sharper mental clarity, improved recovery, and an overall sense of vitality. Many describe it as feeling like their “metabolic lights are turned back on.”
Interested?
If this is something you’d like to explore, talk with your provider or call the office. Your provider will review your medical profile, determine if NAD therapy is appropriate for you, and, if so, we can order it for you directly.
Our goal is to support regenerative health from the inside out—helping you feel your best at every age!
