Feeling drained despite decent habits? It could be more than stress—it may be about what's happening on a cellular level. Your NAD+ levels may be in decline.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule your body relies on to turn food into energy and support natural repair processes. While NAD+ injections are one way to support these levels, many people start by exploring natural strategies first.
Here’s a few tips on how you may support your NAD+ levels, starting with small changes that add up.
Your body makes NAD+ using nutrients like vitamin B3, tryptophan, and other precursors. Some of the best food sources include:
Eating a varied, whole-food diet can give your body the raw materials it needs for NAD+ synthesis.
Research suggests that moderate, regular exercise may stimulate pathways that recycle NAD+. Both strength training and cardio may help.
Consistency matters more than intensity here—even brisk walking, yoga, or dancing counts.
Sleep is when your body restores and regulates many biological systems, including NAD+ metabolism. Try:
Some early research suggests that time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting may help activate NAD+-related pathways. Consult with your licensed healthcare provider before making any dietary changes.
Over-the-counter supplements, like nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), provide your body with building blocks that may help support NAD+ levels.
These are available without a prescription, although absorption varies from person to person. Some users report benefits, others do not notice a difference.
If diet and lifestyle changes aren’t enough—or you want a more direct approach—you may want to explore NAD+ injections.
Unlike oral supplements, injections bypass digestion and may offer:
They are available only by prescription and should always be administered under the guidance of a licensed provider.
