The incidence of Alzheimer’s disease is rapidly spreading across the globe, affecting tens of millions of people. Scientists project that the number of people afflicted with Alzheimer’s will continue to rise over the next two decades. Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia that was once associated with old age. Today, Alzheimer’s is striking ever younger populations, with no cure in sight. However, one nutrient in particular offers new hope for Alzheimer’s sufferers and their families.
Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive degenerative brain disorder caused by the inflammation and destruction of neurons and synapses in the brain. If affects regions of the brain responsible for learning, memory and emotional control. Alzheimer’s symptoms worsen over time, and eventually lead to death.
Symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease include:
- Memory loss that worsens over time.
- Difficulty solving problems and making plans.
- Trouble executing familiar tasks.
- Lost sense of space and time.
- Impaired vision.
- Problems with speech and communication.
- Difficulty making decisions.
- Frequently misplacing items.
- Aggressive or irritable behavior.
As the disease progresses, the patient may forget names and fail to recognize the faces of friends and family members. This becomes an emotional challenge for the whole family, as their loved one fades into a new persona and treats them like strangers.
NAD+ and New Therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease
Among the many new therapies for Alzheimer’s disease, NAD+ stands out as a natural treatment with no side effects and remarkable outcomes for slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s symptoms. One recent review highlighted the potential for NAD+ to support healthy brain aging, and to act as an important treatment for a variety of neurological disorders. Another study found that NAD+ supplementation normalized key Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice.
NAD+ is a tiny coenzyme that is essential for cellular energy production. It works within mitochondria, tiny organelles located inside each cell that convert oxygen and glucose to ATP, the energy molecule. NAD+ helps regulate a broad range of biological functions, and plays an important role in the repair of DNA damaged by free radicals and environmental toxins. Depletion of NAD+ appears to be a major contributing factor to Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Increased cellular levels of NAD+ have several positive effects on patients with Alzheimer’s disease, including:
- Increased energy production and use.
- Enhanced DNA repair.
- Improved sleep.
- Increased mental clarity.
- Slowed progression of Alzheimer’s symptoms.
NAD+ plays a vital role in cell function throughout the body, including the brain. Regular NAD+ therapy can be a game-changer for Alzheimer’s patients and their families, reducing symptoms and slowing the disease’s progression. Compared to medications and other treatments, NAD+ IV therapy is inexpensive and minimally invasive.
The Best Way to Boost NAD+ Levels
There are various NAD+ oral supplements on the market, but they fall short of boosting cellular NAD+ levels, since they depend on the digestive tract for absorption. Pills are often poorly absorbed, and they may even pass right through your system intact.
IV therapy is recognized by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as the only effective way to significantly boost NAD+ levels. During your NAD+ therapy session, vital nutrients are infused directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your digestive tract and quickly delivering NAD+ to depleted cells throughout your body.
