As the years go by, our natural levels of NAD+—a crucial coenzyme involved in energy production, metabolic balance, and DNA repair—gradually decline. At Hydrate Medical in Cary, we offer NAD+ Therapy designed to help support your body’s cellular function and resilience through this natural aging process.
Our medically supervised treatments include both NAD+ intravenous infusions and convenient subcutaneous (subQ) injections. These services are part of a holistic wellness strategy aimed not at reversing age, but at promoting sustained cellular health and vitality for residents across the Cary area.
As we age, the body’s supply of NAD+—a molecule vital to cellular energy and repair—tends to diminish significantly. By the time individuals reach midlife, NAD+ concentrations within cells can decline by as much as 50%. This drop is believed to play a role in various age-associated changes in how cells function.
In a 2018 Nature Communications study, researchers investigated the effects of nicotinamide riboside, a precursor to NAD+, in a group of healthy adults between the ages of 55 and 79. The supplementation was found to be safe and resulted in a clear increase in NAD+ levels. Moreover, participants—especially those with higher-than-average blood pressure—showed promising trends toward reduced blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
Further supporting these findings, a 2023 study featured in Scientific Reports conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Over a 12-week period, middle-aged adults who received NAD+ precursors exhibited potential improvements in arterial stiffness. Notably, statistically significant benefits were observed in individuals with elevated body mass index or higher blood sugar levels.
Critical Perspective: While preclinical animal studies have highlighted the potential of NAD+ restoration to combat age-related decline, human trials are still in their early stages. Current research consistently shows that NAD+ precursor supplementation can elevate NAD+ levels in people and may positively influence certain aspects of cardiovascular health. However, the long-term implications for aging in humans remain to be fully understood and require more extensive clinical investigation.

Convenient subcutaneous injections for ongoing maintenance or those seeking a faster alternative to IV therapy.
NAD+ therapy is not a fountain of youth. Aging is a complex biological process influenced by genetics, lifestyle, environment, and numerous other factors. While research suggests NAD+ restoration may support certain cellular functions, we cannot guarantee specific anti-aging outcomes.
