What Is NAD+ and Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
In Ann Arbor—home to one of Michigan’s most vibrant and health-conscious communities—more patients are asking about NAD+ therapy. And they’re right to be curious. This tiny coenzyme has emerged as one of the most exciting tools in regenerative medicine, helping men and women boost their energy, improve mental clarity, and support cellular repair.
Read on as Dr. Gustav Lo, RegenCen’s Founder and Chief Medical Officer, explains what makes NAD+ so powerful—and why patients in Ann Arbor and beyond are turning to this therapy for real, lasting energy.
What Exactly Is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all your cells. It plays a central role in mitochondrial function, which is how your cells generate energy. It also helps your liver detoxify medications, alcohol, and other stressors.
“This tiny coenzyme lives in our mitochondria and fuels nearly all our energy needs,” says Dr. Lo. “But NAD+ levels naturally decline with age—and even faster when we overtax our bodies with stress, poor sleep, or chronic illness.”
When NAD+ drops, you feel it: fatigue, brain fog, slower recovery, and that sense of just not being yourself.
Why Is NAD+ Therapy So Popular in Ann Arbor?
Known for its active, high-performing population, Ann Arbor is full of professionals, creatives, academics, and athletes who want to stay sharp and energized. At RegenCen Ann Arbor, NAD+ is one of our most requested regenerative treatments.
“For a quick energy boost or to recover after burnout or illness, nothing beats NAD+, especially in IV form,” Dr. Lo explains. “It’s a huge help for people who’ve been burning the candle at both ends.”
Our patients often use NAD+ therapy to rebound from stress, illness, or exhaustion—or to stay ahead of the aging curve with proactive cellular support.
How NAD+ Fits into the RegenCen Longevity Model
NAD+ isn’t a standalone fix. At RegenCen, it’s part of a comprehensive approach to regenerative and anti-aging medicine. That includes hormone optimization, medical weight loss (like GLP-1s), and advanced therapies like PRF/PRP.
“We start with a solid medical foundation,” says Dr. Lo. “We don’t guess. We test, evaluate, and personalize your plan. NAD+ can be incredibly effective—but only when used as part of a complete, thoughtful protocol.”
For Ann Arbor patients seeking optimal energy, focus, and long-term wellness, NAD+ is a valuable tool in a broader, evidence-based strategy.
What Results Can You Expect with NAD+?
At RegenCen Ann Arbor, patients often report:
- Improved energy and stamina
- Enhanced mental clarity and memory
- Faster recovery post-COVID or illness
- Better mood and motivation
- Deeper, more restorative sleep
“These aren’t just feel-good stories,” Dr. Lo notes. “They’re real transformations. I’ve seen patients go from burned out and apathetic to focused, energetic, and engaged—just from getting their biochemistry back in balance.”
Why Medical Oversight Matters
In today’s wellness market, it’s easy to find a place offering NAD+ IVs. But very few clinics deliver it with the medical rigor RegenCen brings to Ann Arbor.
“We’re not a pop-up IV bar,” Dr. Lo emphasizes. “We’re a physician-led clinic with deep roots in primary care and regenerative medicine. That experience is crucial when you’re managing something as complex as NAD+ therapy.”
Every RegenCen provider is supervised, trained, and supported by a medical director—ensuring safe, effective treatment tailored to you.
Is NAD+ Right for You?
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond—and feeling like you’ve “lost your edge”—NAD+ may be part of the answer. Whether you’re dealing with brain fog, fatigue, stress, or slow recovery, RegenCen Ann Arbor offers a thoughtful path forward.
“We usually start with bioidentical hormone therapy,” says Dr. Lo. “But NAD+ is often next. It’s an incredible tool to help you feel like yourself again—or even better.”
