NAD+ Injections

Can I buy NAD+ Injections online in the UK?

Yes, you can purchase NAD+ injections such as the Vi-Pen (NAD+ injection by Vivere) from UK Meds. Always consult your healthcare provider or doctor before taking NAD supplements to ensure they are safe and suitable for your individual needs.

What Are NAD Levels In The Body?

NAD levels refer to the amount of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (more commonly known as NAD) present in your body. 

• This is essential for energy production and the overall health of your cells. 
• NAD levels naturally decline with age, which can affect biological functions and contribute to signs of ageing. 
• Due to this natural decline, NAD supplementation can help to restore and maintain optimal levels. 

How To Increase NAD+ Levels Naturally?

To naturally increase your NAD+ levels, you may need to make changes to your lifestyle. Key changes you can make include: 

• Exercising regularly
• Spending time in the sauna or a hot tub
• Your diet can also influence NAD levels 
• Eating plenty of foods rich in vitamin B, such as avocados, fish and dairy products, whilst reducing the amount of processed grains you eat can also be beneficial. 

An alternative method to boost your NAD+ levels is supplementation through a NAD+ injection or IV therapy.

What Is A NAD+ Supplement?

A NAD+ supplement is a product designed to increase NAD+ levels in the body. Since NAD+ naturally declines with age, supplementation helps to replenish levels to maintain metabolic function, cognitive health and cellular regeneration. NAD+ supplements in the form of an injection help to provide rapid absorption and the best results.

Do NAD Supplements Work?

Yes, NAD+ supplements can be effective in increasing NAD+ levels in the body, supporting cellular energy production, DNA repair and overall metabolic health. As NAD+ naturally declines with age, supplements have been shown to safely and effectively boost NAD+ levels. NAD+ injections offer excellent bioavailability by bypassing the digestive system, allowing for faster absorption. While individual results may vary, many people report benefits such as increased energy, improved cognitive function and enhanced overall well-being. 

What Are The Potential Benefits Of NAD+?

NAD+ offers several potential benefits by supporting essential cellular functions. It is known for its anti-ageing properties, helping to repair damaged DNA, reduce oxidative stress and promote cellular longevity. 

Energy production is another key benefit, as NAD+ helps to combat fatigue and boost overall vitality. It may also enhance cognitive function, improving memory, focus, and mental clarity. 

NAD+ also plays a crucial role in metabolic health which can help with weight management. Other benefits include immune system support, improved athletic performance and overall cellular regeneration, contributing to better long-term health and well-being.

How Long Does NAD Injection Last?

The effects of a NAD+ injection can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, dosage and health goals. 

NAD+ injections are administered daily to weekly, with doses of up to 50mg per injection. The benefits may be felt within hours and can last for several days. For sustained results, regular use is recommended and consulting a healthcare professional can help determine the most suitable dosage and frequency based on your needs.

Can You Take NAD Everyday?

While NAD+ supplements and injections can be taken daily, there is still ongoing research to determine the optimal dosage, long-term safety and effectiveness. NAD+ supplements are widely used for their potential anti-ageing and health benefits. 

It is highly recommended to consult a healthcare professional before taking NAD+ daily to ensure the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your health needs and goals [1].

Does NAD Cause Cancer?

There is no clear evidence that NAD+ directly causes cancer, but its role in cellular metabolism and DNA repair means it may influence cancer growth under certain conditions. Increased NAD+ levels can enhance glycolysis, a key energy pathway cancer cells rely on to grow. Some cancer cells have higher levels of NAD+ due to the enzymes involved in its production, suggesting that NAD+ metabolism plays a role in cancer progression. 

However, NAD+ is also essential for DNA repair and cellular health. In fact, NAD+ has been explored as a potential cancer treatment [2]. If you have a history of cancer or are concerned about NAD+ supplementation, it is best to consult a healthcare professional before use.

Does NAD Interact With Medications?

NAD+ supplements may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness or how the body responds. For example, some antidepressants can interfere with NAD+ levels, making the supplements less effective. NAD+ may also interact with insulin sensitivity, so individuals who rely on insulin may require different amounts of NAD+ for optimal results. As well as this, some anti-ageing supplements could enhance the effects of NAD+. 

If you are taking prescription medications or other supplements, it is important to consult your healthcare provider to ensure it is safe to add NAD+ to your routine.

Below, UK Meds has answered some of the most common questions that our customers ask us about NAD+ supplementation:

What Does NAD Mean In Medical Terms?

In medical terms, NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. This is a coenzyme that is present in the human body. It exists in two forms: NAD+ (oxidised) and NADH (reduced), both of which play key roles in processes like energy production, DNA repair and cellular communication. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to various health issues and age-related diseases.

It is important to note that NAD+ differs from the abbreviation "NAD", commonly used on NHS health records. This stands for "Nothing Abnormal Detected" [3].

Is NAD B3?

NAD+ is closely related to vitamin B3 as it is derived from certain forms of this vitamin. There are three naturally occurring forms of vitamin B3: nicotinic acid, nicotinamide and nicotinamide riboside. These play a crucial role in maintaining adequate NAD+ levels in the body. While NAD+ itself is not the same as vitamin B3, the conversion of these B3 forms into NAD+ is essential for cellular health, energy production and various metabolic processes.
