The Hydration Hack Pro Athletes Swear By - How NAD IV Therapy Boosts Game-Day Success

11/3/2024

NAD IV Therapy - Pro Boxer

Staying hydrated is crucial for your health. Water plays a massive role in so many functions in the human body, including:

  • Moving oxygen and nutrients to cells
  • Lubricating your joints
  • Protecting vital organs
  • Improving skin elasticity
  • Preventing skin from becoming dehydrated and more noticeably aged

But hydration is particularly important for athletes. According to a Q&A with Rayvern Nairn, dietitian at the John Hopkins University Student Health and Wellness Center, “performance depends on” staying hydrated during intense physical exertion. She says that dehydration can impact flexibility, speed, muscle function, mood, and concentration.

And they’re all vital in any activity that requires you to push your body to perform at its best.

Athletes can keep their hydration levels healthy by drinking water before, during, and after exercising. But NAD IV therapy (also known as NAD+) is a powerful new way to improve hydration too.

How does it affect the human body? What benefits does it offer to athletes and anyone else who wants to try it?

Keep reading to find out what NAD IV therapy involves, how it improves hydration, and more.

What is NAD IV Therapy?

The Rise of NAD+

In the age of social media and viral trends, new concepts and ideas can gain mainstream attention in no time. NAD IV therapy has come to prominence in recent years thanks in large part to people sharing their experiences on social media.

For example, in February 2024, bodybuilder Mitchell Hooper credited NAD+ IV therapy with helping him perform at peak levels as it promotes powerful rehydration. A video showed Hooper visiting a clinic to undergo one of his NAD+ shots.

And a New York Post article from August 2024 reported on the rise of the NAD IV therapy trend among US celebrities. Model Hailey Bieber was quoted as saying “I’m going to NAD for the rest of my life, and I’m never going to age”.

While not an athlete, Bieber’s status as a high-profile model with more than 53 million Instagram followers has helped potentially millions of people learn about NAD IV therapy as an option to improve their health. 

So, what is this treatment?

NAD Therapy Explained

NAD, or NAD+, is an acronym of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. This is a coenzyme that exists in all living cells, and it’s essential to keep cells healthy. Various cellular processes, such as repairing DNA and cell rejuvenation, rely on NAD.

NAD production occurs naturally in the human body, but that decreases with age (like collagen and elastin production). That’s why supplementation, including IV treatments, can be helpful to staying healthy as you get older. NAD IV therapy offers the following benefits:

  • Promoting strong cellular processes and health
  • Encouraging healthy skin aging
  • Improving energy metabolism
  • Aiding concentration and improving mood

If athletes undergo a NAD IV treatment before a big game, that could give them the energy and focus they need to achieve their goals. But it’s not just for those engaging in sports — anyone can try NAD IV and enjoy the benefits.

What Happens During a NAD IV Therapy Session?

During a NAD IV treatment, a specially formulated NAD fluid is fed intravenously into your body. This can be a comfortable, relaxing, and safe experience when performed in a medical spa like Astra Medicare.

As the NAD+ is introduced to your bloodstream directly, it bypasses the digestive system and more of it is absorbed. That’s more effective than taking NAD as an oral supplement: the positive effects of the treatment occur much faster, and absorption is improved overall. By the time a pill has passed through the gastrointestinal system, many of the good stuff may be lost.

If you’re nervous around needles, you may feel reluctant to try NDA IV therapy. However, a professional team will take care of you and ensure you have all the details you need to make an informed decision.

What Other IV Treatments are Available at Astra Medicare?

Astra Medicare offers a range of IV treatments to help you achieve glowing skin, extra energy, and improved health overall. Here are four options to choose from:

Glutathione IV for Healthy Skin

Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant generated by cells, and it performs vital jobs in the body. These include:

  • Fighting free radicals that damage cells
  • Promoting healthy function of the immune system
  • Producing DNA
  • Encouraging proper functioning of enzymes

As glutathione production decreases with age, supplementation can be beneficial. Our Glutathione IV treatment offers the following benefits:

  • Brightening skin for a more even skin tone
  • Decreased hyperpigmentation visibility
  • Detoxification
  • Improving immune function
  • Supporting cellular health
  • Enhancing energy levels
  • Encouraging stronger cognitive function

Vitamin C IV

Vitamin C helps the body heal faster, fight viruses and bacteria (including the common cold), and get energized. But as the human body can’t produce vitamin C itself, supplementation will keep your vitamin C levels healthy.

Our Vitamin C IV treatment can:

  • Encourage collagen production to make skin stronger
  • Decrease toxicity levels
  • Fight free radicals
  • Promote faster healing
  • Keep your immune system functioning properly

M.I.C. Injections for Fat Burning

Our M.I.C. infusiontreatment features three lipotropic compounds shown to help the body remove fatty deposits unaffected by exercise and a healthy diet. The compounds are:

  • Methionine for fatty acid processing in the liver, the metabolic breakdown of fat, lower cholesterol, and improved health.
  • Inositol for more efficient fat metabolization and redistribution.
  • Choline for effective fat metabolism and healthy detoxification. It can also help maintain a healthy nervous system and decrease the likelihood of developing heart disease.

As a result, our M.I.C. IV treatment helps the body burn fat more efficiently, improve liver function, and lead to leaner tissue development.

IV Vitamin Cocktails

Astra Medicare also has a wide range of IV cocktail treatments for boosting energy, rejuvenating and brightening the skin, and aiding brain function.

Ready to Try IV Therapy?

NAD IV therapy and other IV treatments can have a powerful impact on your physical performance, general wellbeing, energy levels, and more.

If you want to try IV therapy for yourself, Astra Medicare’s team is ready to help. To book your free consultation, get in touch today!
