Introducing IV Therapy at TREVI
While IV Therapy is tried and true for illness recovery, training athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone fighting a dreaded hangover, we are hearing more and more about two main ingredients that pack a powerful longevity punch: NAD+ and Glutathione.
NAD+: The Cellular Energy Molecule
What Is It?
NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is an important metabolic regulator of cellular redox reactions and a co-factor for key enzymes essential for normal cellular function in different tissues.
NAD comes in 2 forms: an oxidizing agent (NAD+) and a reducing agent (NADH). These agents are used by the body in extraordinarily complex mechanisms to keep everything functioning smoothly. During aging, NAD+ levels decline and many of the mechanisms that rely on NAD+—like stress response, immunity, and metabolic energy—are altered. These alterations have been directly linked to the development and progression of common aging-related diseases, including atherosclerosis, arthritis, hypertension, cognitive decline, diabetes and cancer. All of these mechanisms can benefit from restoring NAD+ levels.
Natural Ways to Increase NAD+
- Exercise, particularly strength training
- Calorie restriction including time-constrained eating and fasting
- Regular sleep
- Ketogenic diets
While the scientists are still working on the details, there is evidence that supplementation may have a beneficial role in promoting quality of life and lifespan.
Glutathione: The Master Detoxifier
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in every cell of the human body, including immune cells. Made up of three essential amino acids (cysteine, glutamate, and glycine), it is often referred to as the master detoxifier for its incredible ability to promote skin health, body function, overall mood and well-being.
What Is Glutathione Used For?
- Powerful antioxidant—key to almost all body functions including immune system support
- Lightening and brightening skin—erases hyperpigmentation and inhibits melanin production
- Reduces inflammation
- Helps breakdown and purge fat
- Improves energy and mental clarity
- Improves sleep quality
- Detoxifying and fighting oxidative stress
Symptoms of Glutathione Deficiency
- Chronic fatigue
- Weakness and headaches
- Dizziness and sleep issues
- Frequent illnesses
- Dermatitis and joint pain
- Mood instability or depression
Chronic Health Conditions Associated with Low Glutathione
- Autoimmune disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Heart disease
- Skin disorders
How to Boost Glutathione Levels
Supplements like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, Curcumin, Silymarin (Milk Thistle), and N-acetylcysteine can all help. Eating an organic diet with a variety of fruits and vegetables is also beneficial.
The quickest way to restore glutathione stores in your body is intravenously. This delivers the powerful antioxidant directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. Once in the bloodstream it’s carried to each cell and organ—including the heart, lungs, brain, skin, and muscles.
