Understanding NAD+ Therapy: A Clinical Perspective

Written by Heather Bertolero | Mar 9, 2026 10:00:00 AM
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a role in cellular energy metabolism and other biochemical processes within the body.
 
Interest in NAD+ has increased in recent years within the broader field of longevity and metabolic health research.
 
What Is NAD+?
 
NAD+ participates in cellular pathways involved in energy transfer and mitochondrial activity. Levels may vary over time based on age and physiologic factors. Ongoing scientific research continues to evaluate its role in human health.
 
How NAD+ Is Used in Clinical Practice
 
At Teleios, NAD+ may be prescribed as a compounded injectable therapy when determined to be clinically appropriate following an individual medical evaluation.
 
Therapy decisions are based on:
 
• Medical history
• Current medications
• Laboratory data
• Individual wellness goals
• Risk and benefit assessment
 
NAD+ therapy is considered within the context of a comprehensive care plan and is not intended as a stand-alone intervention.
 
Important Considerations
 
NAD+ therapy:
 
• Is not FDA approved for the treatment of specific medical conditions
• Is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease
• May not be appropriate for all individuals
• Should only be used under medical supervision
 
Individual experiences and responses may vary. Clinical monitoring and follow-up are part of responsible care.
