<p>Okay, so NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in all our cells that plays a key role in energy production and regulating your metabolism. (Its fancy science name if you want to drop that into convo is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Think of it as the fuel that keeps your body’s cells running smoothly. It’s involved in everything from DNA repair to energy metabolism to regulating your body’s internal clock, called the circadian rhythms.</p>

<p>The bad news is that NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age. This drop in NAD+ is linked to many of the less enjoyable aspects of aging – think fatigue, slower metabolism, and the inevitable wrinkles. In other words, NAD+ is central to keeping our cells youthful, energetic, and healthy – so boosting NAD+ levels might slow the hands of time. During a treatment, an IV drip delivers an instant hit of this ‘miracle molecule’ directly into your bloodstream.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-are-celebrities-obsessed-with-nad"><strong>Why are celebrities obsessed with NAD+?</strong></h2>



<p>Yes, NAD+ therapy has quite the celebrity fanbase, and if you’ve tuned into the Kardashians’ reality show, you might have spotted Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner getting a NAD+ drip together. Hollywood heavyweights like Rihanna, Cindy Crawford, and Justin Bieber are also rumoured to be converts, not to mention big-name athletes and business bigwigs seeking a competitive edge. Closer to home, Chloe Delevingne is a client of Alchemy by Effect Doctors – and, yes, she’s tried NAD+ therapy too.</p>

<p>So, what exactly has all these A-listers lining up for a NAD+ boost? The treatment is believed to enhance energy levels, improve mental clarity, slow down aging, and even boost athletic performance. Fans say they’ve experienced everything from glowing skin to better memory, faster metabolism, and, ultimately, more energy to burn. For the jet-setting elite juggling demanding careers, hectic schedules and the odd red-carpet appearance, NAD+ seems to be the go-to for staying on top of their game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-nad-therapy-really-turn-back-time"><strong>Can NAD+ therapy really turn back time?</strong></h2>



<p>Basically, NAD+ helps keep our cells powered up and functioning smoothly. When our NAD+ levels drop (hello, aging!), so does our energy. That’s why boosting NAD+ is thought to give you more energy and endurance. If you want to delve into the science even more, NAD+ also gets busy activating enzymes called sirtuins, which are linked to DNA repair and slowing down the aging process. As we get older and our NAD+ levels dip, sirtuins can’t work as well, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and generally feeling a bit meh.</p>

<p>The idea behind NAD+ therapy is to top up those levels, helping your cells work like they used to when you were younger. Fans of the treatment say it’s not just about looking good (although glowing skin is a nice bonus!) – it might even help reduce the risk of age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s. But don’t go getting too excited just yet – the science is still catching up, and more clinical trials are needed. For now, converts swear by NAD+ for boosting energy, sharpening the mind, and keeping that youthful glow.</p>

<p>How? When we work out, we burn calories and gobble up glucose like it’s going out of style. Experts say that NAD+ therapy could help keep those glucose levels flowing, so you can power through those extra reps, sprints, or downward dogs without feeling like a soggy noodle. And get this: high NAD+ levels are also thought to give your reaction times a serious boost. So, whether you’re smashing it at spin class, sprinting like Usain Bolt, or playing netball with your mates, you could see some seriously impressive improvements. More muscle, quicker reflexes, faster recovery. What’s not to love?&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-will-it-help-me-sleep-better-and-boost-energy"><strong>Will it help me sleep better and boost energy?</strong></h2>



<p>Sleep is one of the most vital elements of wellness, so many people are drawn to NAD+ therapy for its reported effects on sleep quality. NAD+ plays a critical role in regulating our circadian rhythms, or sleep-wake cycles, which can get thrown off kilter by stress, travel, or simply aging. Restoring NAD+ levels is thought to help reset your internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="1000" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/bucksoxon/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/10/AlchemyByEffect.jpg" alt="AlchemyByEffect" class="wp-image-174229" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/bucksoxon/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/10/AlchemyByEffect.jpg 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/bucksoxon/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/10/AlchemyByEffect-800x800.jpg 800w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/bucksoxon/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/10/AlchemyByEffect-400x400.jpg 400w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/bucksoxon/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/10/AlchemyByEffect-500x500.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>This doesn’t just mean better sleep – it also means better energy. Many who have tried NAD+ therapy report feeling more alert during the day, needing less coffee, and experiencing more endurance in both work and exercise. Some clients even mention improved physical performance, faster recovery times, and greater stamina for workouts. This makes NAD+ a popular choice among athletes and fitness enthusiasts, as it could potentially boost physical output while also aiding in muscle repair. Imagine getting a full night’s sleep and waking up ready to tackle the day with the energy of someone half your age. That’s what NAD+ therapy promises: better sleep and boundless energy, so you can be at your best whether you’re hitting the gym or just trying to keep up with life’s demands.</p>
