Indoor mold exposure is becoming an increasingly common concern in New York City and other densely populated urban centers with older infrastructure, especially during humid months. Certain types of mold produce mycotoxins – poisonous substances that cause inflammation and oxidative stress, compromising the body’s immune function.
One secondary effect of mold toxicity is depletion of NAD+, a vital coenzyme that governs mitochondrial function. Mold toxicity combined with NAD+ depletion can lead to
a broad spectrum of health issues ranging from mild to severe. Learn about mold toxicity, and how NAD+ IV therapy can help restore your metabolic health after mold exposure.
What Exactly is Mold and How Does it Affect Human Health?
Mold is a type of fungus made up of microscopic spores. It is a living organism that naturally decomposes dead organic matter. It can make its way into buildings through open windows, HVAC systems, or carried in by people or pets. Mold grows rapidly on organic materials like wood, drywall, paper, and fabrics when moisture is present, feeding on damp surfaces.
Mold contributes to a condition known as sick building syndrome (SBS), where people are exposed to indoor contaminants like chemicals, dust and mold due to poor ventilation and dampness. Breathing in toxic mold spores can create a variety of unpleasant health symptoms.
Symptoms of SBS include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Chest pain
- Respiratory issues
- Flu-like symptoms
Recent research has linked long-term mold exposure to dysregulation of the immune system, increasing your risk of infectious diseases, and it can even lead to serious neurodegenerative brain disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Severity of symptoms appears to correlate with time spent in toxic environments, such as old office or apartment buildings. For many people in urban settings, long-term mold exposure is unavoidable.

Restoring Metabolic Balance with Nutrient IV Therapy
NAD+ does not treat mold exposure, but it can help to restore metabolic balance and mitochondrial function after appropriate treatment. Your body makes NAD+ from dietary sources, but your NAD+ production gradually declines as you age. Diets high in pasture-raised meat, poultry, wild-caught fish, eggs and dairy help to boost NAD+ production by providing precursors. But modern diets are often deficient in key NAD+ precursors.
Precursors for NAD+ include:
- Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)
- Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)
- Nicotinamide (NAM/niacinamide)
- Nicotinic Acid (NA/niacin)
- Tryptophan (Trp)
Oral supplements for NAD+ precursors are available, but much of their potency is lost during digestion. When delivered via IV drip, NAD quickly enters your bloodstream and is rapidly distributed to the cells that need it most. After NAD IV therapy, people often report reduced fatigue, increased energy, clearer mental focus, and overall wellbeing.
