Depression is a common disorder and has a profound negative impact on social functioning and health. The World Health Organization predicts depression will be the second leading cause of death by 2030. There are many physical and environmental factors that contribute to depression.
Physiological symptoms associated with depression include:
One effective form of nutrition therapy is intravenous NAD, which is a derivative of vitamin B3. NAD is used as coenzyme for various cellular functions including energy production, DNA repair, regulating the immune system and reducing inflammation. Sirtuins are only one of the enzymes that depend on NAD in order to be activated.
Sirtuins (SIRT) are enzymes known found throughout the cell known to reduce inflammation, inhibit protein aggregation and reduce oxidative damage. The different roles and actions sirtuins play help protect the nervous system and brain from deterioration.
Anxiety is an emotional response necessary for survival. Similar to stress, however, chronic anxiety can have detrimental effects on the body and is the symptom of many mental disorders.
Research has shown that people with critically low levels of NAD are at a higher risk for developing problems related to addiction, anxiety and other mental disorders. When NAD is injected into the body through intravenous (IV) infusion, it immediately reaches the brain and performs the following beneficial functions:
NAD is a coenzyme which has been shown to be highly effective in elevating mood and reversing feelings of depression and anxiety. In addition, NAD has also been shown to replenish the neurotransmitters which have been depleted because of the constant state of activation of the nervous system and body.
