How to use NAD and Is NAD right for you

NAD⁺ Therapy in Denver: Recharging Your Brain, Body, and Cells the Smart Way

If you’re feeling burnt out, foggy, or like your body just isn’t keeping up the way it used to, you’re not alone. Cellular energy declines with age, stress, and chronic illness — and at the core ofnthat process is a molecule called NAD⁺

At Axon Integrative Health, we use NAD⁺ therapy as one of our foundational tools to support energy production, brain health, recovery, and long-term wellness. B ut unlike many clinics thatoffer NAD year-round without strategy, we take a precise, phased approach that maximizes results and minimizes waste.

Let’s break it down.

What is NAD⁺?

NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body, critical for:

Energy production (mitochondrial function)
DNA repair
Neurotransmitter function
Cellular detox and metabolism
Gene expression and longevity pathways

Unfortunately, NAD⁺ levels decline naturally with age and are further depleted by:

● Chronic stress
● Sleep disruption
● Infections or toxins (e.g., Lyme, mold)
● Neurological disorders
● Heavy training loads

Low NAD⁺ means low cellular energy and more oxidative stress — a combination that leads to fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and poor recovery.

The Axon Way: NAD⁺ Therapy Done Right

We don’t believe in just dripping NAD into your veins every week for eternity. More is not
always better — in fact, it can be uncomfortable and inefficient if not dosed properly.

Our annual NAD+ Optimization Protocol follows a structured, phased cycle:

1. Loading Phase:

  • Begins with Intramuscular (IM) NAD⁺ injections 2–3x/week to prep the system and
    boost levels gradually.
  • Followed by a short period of higher-dose IV NAD⁺ infusions, administered using
    Axon’s specialized protocols to reduce discomfort (slowing the drip, working the
    osmolality of the infusion, adding co-factors, combining with brain-based therapies).

2. Tapering Phase:

  • After the IV series, patients taper back to IM injections at home for about a month.
  • This helps maintain elevated NAD⁺ levels without constant IVs or overload. and is way more cost effective

3. Maintenance:

  • A short “off” period allows for receptor sensitivity to normalize. NAD⁺ therapy is
    typically cycled once per year for healthy individuals — or more frequently in
    patients with neurological injury or high-performance demands.

What About Oral NAD⁺ Supplements?

While oral forms of NAD⁺ are not as bioavailable as IV or IM routes, they still offer supportive benefits. We recommend options like:
  • NAD Platinum by Quicksilver Scientific – combines NAD⁺ precursors with co-factors like TMG and phospholipids for enhanced delivery and absorption.
  • Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) – direct precursors that can help support daily energy and longevity.
Oral NAD is best used between intensive cycles as part of a long-term brain and body support protocol

Applications of NAD⁺ Therapy

1. Longevity & Aging Optimization

  • Recharges mitochondrial energy and cellular repair systems
  • Activates SIRT genes and promotes healthy aging
  • Reduces oxidative stress and systemic inflammation

2. Sports Performance & Recovery

  • Supports faster recovery from intense training
  • Reduces muscle fatigue and soreness
  • Enhances endurance by improving mitochondrial output
  • Pairs well with HBOT, red light, IV amino acids, and brain-based training
3. Neurological Conditions & Brain Recovery
NAD⁺ therapy shows promise in helping restore brain energy and function in a wide variety of conditions:
  • ADHD, Autism, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders Improves mitochondrial function, detox pathways, and neurotransmitter balance.
  • Parkinson’s Disease & Multiple Sclerosis Slows neurodegeneration and supports myelin repair. Pairs well with Neuroacupunture, PEMF, HBOT, and Functional NeuroRehab
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Stroke, and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
    Enhances cellular repair, reduces neuroinflammation, and improves energy supply to recovering tissue.
  • Depression, PTSD, and Anxiety
    Helps regulate neurotransmitter systems (especially dopamine and serotonin), reduces inflammation, and improves resilience. Pairs well with Neurofeedback and TMS
  • Addiction & Detox Recovery
    NAD⁺ replenishment can ease withdrawal symptoms and support brain repair in
    substance abuse recovery. Pairs well with TMS, HBOT, and Neurofeedback
  • Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) & Seizures
    May help stabilize nervous system excitability and support neuronal repair.
