Consider NAD+ Treatment After A Long Trip

by Amelia Graves

Traveling can be a lot of fun, and sometimes it is even necessary for work. However, those long plane rides and days spent running around can also be hard on your mind and body. One thing you may want to consider, when you return after a long trip, is an NAD+ treatment. Usually, this treatment is given via an IV, and you are treated in a specialized infusion center. Here is a closer look at NAD+ treatment and its benefits after a long trip.

What is NAD+?

NAD+ is short for "nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide." This molecule is found throughout your body in every cell, and it has a wide range of purposes. Basically, it works as a coenzyme in various biochemical reactions related to your metabolism. Coenzymes help speed up such reactions and make them more feasible. 

Why is an NAD+ treatment so helpful after travel?

Your body can become depleted of NAD+ as you age and after periods of stress and exertion. For most people, a long trip involves plenty of stress and exertion. Between sleep deprivation, hustling to make sure you don't miss your plane, and any work you had to get done while out of town, your body has been through a lot, and your NAD+ levels are likely lower than normal as a result.

An NAD+ infusion can bring your NAD+ levels back up into a healthy range. This will have an array of benefits, including:

  • Higher energy levels: The infusion will help get rid of the tiredness that sometimes lingers for days after travel.
  • Improved immunity: If you're someone who often gets sick after traveling, an NAD+ treatment can improve your immunity and help you avoid this.
  • Mental clarity and focus: NAD+ can help you focus at work so you can get back into the swing of things post-travel.

What does the treatment involve?

An NAD+ infusion is pretty simple. The process takes about an hour. You can set up an appointment in advance at a treatment center near you. Once you arrive, you'll lie back in a bed or recliner, and an IV will be placed in your arm. Over the next 30 minutes or so, the fluid containing NAD+ will be slowly dripped into your arm.

Most people start to feel better immediately after an NAD+ infusion, and you should fully feel the effects after a day or two. Schedule an NAD+ treatment after a very big trip, and you'll likely have an easier time re-adapting to everyday life afterwards.
