So what is it
A molecule that carries things
NAD+ sits in every cell you have. Its entire job is to pick something up in one place and drop it off in another. It is a courier, not a fuel.
NAD+ · what it actually is
Your cells run a delivery route. NAD+ is the truck.
Food does not become energy on its own. Something has to carry it from the sandwich you ate to the tiny engines inside your cells. That courier is NAD+, and you run fewer trucks every year you are alive.

Full fleet. Energy gets picked up as fast as you make it.
Illustrative model. The decline in NAD+ with age is well documented, but the exact curve varies by tissue, by person, and by study. Read the percentage as a shape, not a lab value. The “topped up” view is a visualisation of what more NAD+ would look like, not a claim about any specific treatment.
Reading the scene
What you’re actually watching.
Teal truck: NAD+An empty courier heading out to the food. This is the molecule you run fewer of every year you’re alive.
Amber truck: NADHThe same truck, now loaded. It picked energy up at the food and is hauling it back to the engine.
The glowing capsule: a mitochondrionThe engine. It burns those deliveries into ATP, the energy you actually spend. You have hundreds in every cell.
The amber cluster: your foodLunch, broken down. The energy is locked inside and going nowhere until a truck carries it across.
The sparks: ATPEnergy leaving the engine. Every spark is one delivery converted into fuel your body can burn.
The loop, in five beats
- 01An empty teal truck rolls out from the engine to the food.
- 02It loads up and turns amber: now it’s NADH, carrying energy.
- 03It delivers to the mitochondrion, the glowing engine on the right.
- 04The engine sparks off ATP, the energy that powers your day.
- 05The truck empties, turns teal again, and heads back for the next load.
The whole thing, without the biochemistry
Four questions, four straight answers.
What does it carry
The energy out of your food
Break down a meal and the useful part comes off as tiny charged particles. NAD+ grabs them, becomes NADH, and hauls them to the engine that turns them into energy you can actually spend.
Why does it drop
You spend it faster than you rebuild it
NAD+ is not only for energy. Repairing sun-damaged skin, fixing DNA, handling inflammation and stress all burn through it. As the repair bills climb with age, less is left for the day job.
Why should I care
Fewer trucks, slower everything
The engine still works. It is waiting on deliveries. That wait is what shows up in your day as the 2pm wall, the third day of being sore, the hike that used to be easy.
Translation
What a textbook says, versus what your Tuesday says.
The clinical version
- 01 Reduced mitochondrial ATP output
- 02 Impaired sirtuin activity
- 03 Slower DNA repair signalling
- 04 Elevated oxidative stress load
- 05 Delayed post-exertion recovery
The version you live in
- 01 You hit a wall at 2pm and it is not the coffee
- 02 Eight hours of sleep, still not rested
- 03 Cuts and bruises hang around longer than they used to
- 04 The fog that rolls in around three or four
- 05 Sore for three days after a hike you used to shrug off
The honest part
Everything above is settled biology. NAD+ does this work, and levels fall with age. That is not controversial.
What is still being studied is how much raising NAD+ from the outside changes how you feel, and for whom. The research is promising and it is not finished. Anyone telling you it is a cure is selling something. Talk to a clinician about whether it makes sense for you.

You’re closer to feeling amazing than you think.
The long game
Two lifetimes. One molecule.
This is the same body, aging from 30 to 75, on two paths. One keeps NAD⁺ topped up; one doesn't. Drag the age and watch the gap pull apart.

Holding steady while the calendar says otherwise.
NAD⁺ doesn't stop the clock. It slows the slide. The longer you keep your levels topped up, the wider that gap grows. That's the whole case for making it a habit, not a one-time fix.

Is it for you?
Who's booking NAD⁺.
High performers & founders
Long days, high output, and a brain you can't afford to have foggy.
Athletes in recovery
Harder training loads ask more of your cells. Give them the fuel to bounce back.
Feeling the dip after 40
The energy and clarity that used to be automatic now take effort. This is why.
Brain fog & focus
When coffee stopped working and you just want your sharp head back.
Healthy aging
A proactive, cellular-level approach to aging on your terms.
Recovery support
Used as part of supervised recovery and wellness protocols.
Your visit
What an NAD⁺ session is actually like.
60–120 minutes
NAD⁺ is delivered slowly on purpose: a gentle drip rate keeps it comfortable. Bring a book, a show, or just relax in the chair.
How it feels
Most people feel warm and a little energized. If you ever feel flushed or a chest-tightness, we simply slow the drip. You're always in control.
A first-timer ramp
We start first-timers at a comfortable dose and build up over a series, rather than one big hit. Kinder to your body, better results.
Physician-supervised
Every NAD⁺ protocol is reviewed and overseen by a Board Certified Emergency Physician. This is clinical-grade, not a vitamin bar.
Ready when you are
Start with one. Feel the difference. Build a series.
A single NAD⁺ drip is the perfect way to try it. But NAD⁺ rewards consistency. Ask about series and membership pricing to keep your levels topped up and really change how you feel.

Straight answers
NAD⁺, honestly.
How often should I get NAD⁺?+
Most clients start with a short series (often a loading phase of a few sessions close together), then move to a monthly maintenance drip. Your protocol is set with our physician based on your goals.
Will I feel it during the drip?+
NAD⁺ can feel intense if run too fast: a warm flush or chest tightness. We run it slow to keep you comfortable, and we can slow it further any time. The point is a good experience, not a white-knuckle one.
How soon will I notice a difference?+
Some people feel cleaner energy and focus within a day or two; for others the benefits build over a series. NAD⁺ is a cellular investment. Consistency is where the magic is.
Is NAD⁺ safe?+
For most healthy adults, yes, and every drip at Peak Performance is reviewed and supervised by a Board Certified Emergency Physician. We screen first; it isn't right for everyone, and we'll tell you honestly.
Single session or a series?+
A single $150 session is a great way to try it. But NAD⁺ rewards repetition. Ask about series and membership pricing to make a real dent in how you feel.
