What is NAD+ and what are it’s benefits? NAD(+) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is an essential co-enzyme that we cannot live without. It is found in all living cells. It serves as an essential co-factor and substrate for a number of critical cellular processes involved maintaining cellular repair and resiliency, sustaining neurological, muscular, cardiometabolic and mental health, energy production in the form of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate), anti-aging properties through sirtuins, to name a few.

NAD+ improves insulin sensitivity & boosts metabolism, improves stress resistance, and is neuro-protective and improves mood, as well as diminishing fatigue and brain fog. It is used in alcohol and addiction withdrawal as it can bind to opioid receptors and decrease opioid withdrawal symptoms. It can also scavenge free radicals and other toxins in the body including drugs and alcohol and remove them from your body.

NAD can be best understood as an energy “currency” of the cell. It is derived from vitamin B3 (Niacin). Its main function is the production of energy in every cell, without energy there could be no physical life.

Some of the more important aspects of NAD therapy is that it can be used to treat a host of health conditions, like substance addiction, Alzheimer’s Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, PTSD, Depression & Anxiety and a host of other behavioral health problems, as well as for toxin reduction/elimination.

Did you know that NAD+ Levels greatly diminish as we get older? By age 50, we have 40% less NAD+ than at age 20. By age 80, NAD+ levels drop as much as 98%. When our NAD+ drops, our cells that the inability to protect our DNA or mitochondria, and this is perhaps why aging happens and also why cancer is so much more prevalent as we age.

NAD+ has really garnered some research and attention in the area of addiction treatment, especially in substances withdrawal.

After many years of research on the use of amino acids, minerals and vitamins to speed up the detoxification process from opiates, alcohol and other drugs, Dr. William Hitt, an American doctor and scientist, created a protocol for drug addiction recovery, known as Neurotransmitter Restoration Therapy, (NTR). This protocol addressed the neurotransmitter depletion and neurotransmitter receptor damage due to drug or alcohol overuse. Drugs produce their psychological effect by mimicking brain neurotransmitters, either by plugging into the receptor site or modifying the receptor site itself. When drug abuse ceases, the brain recovers on its own, but it may take up to a year or more.

This protocol speeds up this recovery time, therefore reducing the possibility of relapse due to cravings. studies found that his protocol not only reduces cravings but limits side effects of drug withdrawal and promotes long term recovery.

In the 1980’s with the support of the World Health Organization, Dr. Hitt, conducted a clinical trial in his clinic in Mexico. He administered his Neurotransmitter Restoration Therapy protocol to 3000 patients and follow them up for 3 years. After 3 years, 70% of them were still sober, 2-7x higher than the recovery rate of conventional approaches.

Phoenix ranked second on the list for Worst Cities For Allergies in the United States from walkinlab.com in 2021. That’s a lot worse than ranking 79th out of 100 on the list of Allergy Capitals Spring 2019 by the Asthma & Allergy Foundation in 2019. It does seem to be getting from bad to worse here in the Valley of the Sun for seasonal allergy sufferers.

The whole world does the allergy dance! Dust, Bermudagrass, Mulberry, Cottonwood, Ash, Mesquite, Ragweed, Juniper, Olive tree, Palo Verde, Feather Palm, Russian Thistle (tumbleweeds), African Sumac are the major allergens here in the Valley of the Sun. The whole world does the allergy dance! Dust, Bermudagrass, Mulberry, Cottonwood, Ash, Mesquite, Ragweed, Juniper, Olive tree, Palo Verde, Feather Palm, Russian Thistle (tumbleweeds), African Sumac are the major allergens here in the Metro Phoenix Area. Phoenix is consistently ranked among the worst regions in the country when it comes to air quality.

The Battle Royale begins – An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to a harmless substance known as an allergen. That looks like a case of mistaken identity. In some people, substances such as pollen, certain foods, latex, mold, pet dander, dust mites, or insect stings are allergens that trigger the production of antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies travel to cells that release chemicals, causing symptoms most often in the nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, the lining of the stomach, or on the skin.

Did you know that there are actually 4 different types of allergic reactions? The allergic reaction we are talking about today is regarding environmental allergens like the ones described above, and are all part of Type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction group. This involves cross-linking of two IgE receptors (those darn antibodies) on basophils and mast cells with the allergen and subsequent release of inflammatory mediators like leukotriene and that dreaded histamine.

That’s why it’s important to either:

• Avoid those allergens altogether – Like never go outside ever again, stay away from your pets…well, you get the idea. It’s best to remove your clothing and wash away those allergens from your skin (showers and baths) before hopping into bed for the night.
• Take medications to:
  1. Avoid histamine release – Older histamine blockers like Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or Hydroxyzine (Vistaril) vs newer generation histamine blockers like Loratadine (Claritin), Fexofenadine (Allegra), or Cetirizine (Zyrtec). There are eye drop alternatives for those that suffer from allergic conjunctivitis, namely Olopatadine (Patanol). Nourish IV by Desert Mobile Medical provides an IV anti-histaminic inside its unique blend called For-Sneezy.
  2. Avoid Leukotriene release – Leukotriene inhibitors like Montelukast (Singulair) or Zafirkulast (Accolate).
  3. Decrease overall inflammation – Nasal steroids like Fluticasone (Flonase), Triamcinolone (Nasacort), and many others. I do not recommend oral steroids for environmental allergens unless your allergies are severe.
  4. Stabilize Mast cells to prevent the release of histamine and leukotriene – Cromolyn Sodium, Azelastine (Astelin) and yes, VITAMIN D.
  5. Combat after-effects with decongestants.
  6. PRETREATMENT – Start taking your allergy medications a few weeks before allergy season begins.
• Obtain Allergen Immunotherapy or desensitization. Talk to us if your allergies are moderate to severe in nature and you’ve tried the above remedies without relief.

At Nourish IV by Desert Mobile Medical, we are your highest advocates when it comes to your health. We always recommend taking your medications as prescribed, and taking pretreatment when it pertains to Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever). We dispense your medications on our visit to you as an added convenience to you. Allow us to perform a telemedicine evaluation for you prior to coming out for one of our highly touted IV Drips and we can bring medications with us.

The post Are Allergies Messing With Your Life? Stunning Secrets Revealed first appeared on Nourish IV.

These are the 10 benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy, compiled into one simple blog. They are definitely not the only benefits known, but a start on learning some of the benefits.

1. The Absolute Fastest Way to See Results

IV Drips (IV Nutritional Therapy) are an immensely popular way to deliver the quickest results. In the traditional method of ingesting food, your food must get digested first to be able to be processed by your body. This requires breaking down your digested food with acids in your digestive tract, then go to your liver to be metabolized and then entering your bloodstream to be delivered to the rest of the body. IV nutritional therapy bypasses this time consuming process and delivers it directly into your bloodstream to get immediate results

2. Accelerates The Wound Healing Process

Your body requires nutrients like fluids, vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, biotin, arginine, glutamine, iron, glutathione, NAD+, amino acids, as well as a host of other micronutrients for skin protection. Getting an IV Nutrient Drip can aid in you getting all these nutrients in one place. You can also get higher doses quickly and safely than through traditional methods.

3. Anti-Aging Effect

Glutathione (GSH) has recently gotten a lot of attention by Hollywood, and rightfully so. It’s been touted as the fountain of youth by many female celebrities, giving them a more youthful, vibrant look to their skin. Glutathione is our bodies strongest antioxidant and prevents reactive oxygen species such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides, and heavy metals from aging our skin by preventing damage to important cellular components.

Glutathione levels normally reduce with age. One study in the Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, showed glutathione levels in participants between the ages of 40 and 94 were 17% lower than subjects who were 20 to 39 years of age.

Glutathione is also a great way to detox the liver and has shown to reverse signs of alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Nourish IV by Desert Mobile Medical uses Glutathione in this manner after IV infusions of NAD+ & Alpha Lipoic Acid and we have seen excellent results.

Our Youth Boosting beauty enhancer, known better as Glow, will give you the red carpet appearance and it great for skin, hair and nail restoration and maintenance.

4. Hangover’s

Alcohol is notorious for a myriad of symptoms after stopping drinking or awakening the next morning. It is a known diuretic and thus you lose water and get dehydrated. But it’s also a known toxin to all the cells in your body. You end up losing vital nutrients in the process of drinking alcohol and have free radicals running amok in you body. We have two solutions, Pre-Game & After Party.

Pre-Game is a IV hangover prevention protocol and it gives you 1 liter of normal saline that is the closest thing to the fluid inside your blood vessels. We preload you with IV Toradol, a very potent anti-inflammatory medication that will ward off any aches and pains you might end up with the day after. Pre-Game also contains an enhanced Myers Protocol to load you up with extra vitamins and minerals that will be lost during your time imbibing alcohol. It also contains an IV Glutathione push to work as an antioxidant, clearing your body of free radicals the moment alcohol hits the bloodstream.

After Party is our proprietary hangover treatment protocol. We’ll start off with some IV Zofran to get rid of any nausea that might be lingering. IV Pepcid is given to get rid of that heartburn you might be suffering from, followed by an IV Toradol push. We then give you 1 liter normal saline mixed with an enhanced Myers Protocol, as well as our proprietary nutrient booster that will replace all the electrolytes you might have lost during your time drinking.

5. Promotes Better Cardiovascular Health & Lowers Blood Pressure

Improving fat transport and metabolism is the key to promoting cardiovascular health and our Cardio Fit Protocol is a cardiovascular overhaul formula increasing blood flow and nitric oxide production, increasing human growth hormone levels , as well as reducing lipids within the blood circulatory system.

L-Carnitine breaks down and promotes fat tissue breakdown while L-Taurine acts as a lipid membrane stabilizer in the body. They both act as superb antioxidants as does L-Arginine. L-Arginine also increases blood flow throughout your body and coupled with Alpha-Lipoic Acid as 2 more powerful antioxidants.

IV L-Arginine given before and IV Magnesium lowers blood pressure by acting as vessel dilator and increasing blood flow, and is available with our Well Pressed Protocols.

6. Boosts Energy Naturally

So many of the nutrients used in IV Nutritional Therapy can provide immediate and sustained benefits of boosting ones energy. Nutrients, like vitamin C (ascorbic acid), glutathione, B complex vitamins, amino acids, NAD+ can supplant and replace old, sometimes unhealthy alternatives to obtaining a pick me up, such as energy drinks, coffee, soda, sugar, etc.

Almost all of our proprietary protocols have these ingredients mixed into them in varying quantities, so that we can deliver them optimally and safely. Our Limitless, Original Myers Boost Formula, Maximum Effort, Detox One and Happy Camper are some of our more popular protocols.

7. Boosts Your Immunity

The COVID-19 pandemic shed light on how our immune system works and how many nutritional deficiencies have led some to having a worse outcome than other, more naturally inclined individuals. Vitamin D deficiency, zinc deficiency, vitamin c deficiency have all shown to decrease the bodies ability to fight off infections.

Vitamin D has important immuno-modulatory effects and deficiency in critically ill patients has shown to be associated with worse outcomes of infectious complications, including those with COVID-19.“

The study data clearly show that a significant number of COVID-19 patients were zinc deficient. These zinc deficient patients developed more complications, and the deficiency was associated with a prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality.”

8. Migraine Prevention & Treatment

For those that suffer from frequent migraines can attest to, know exactly how miserable one can feel during their bouts. These include sensitivity to light and sound, dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting, and constant throbbing or pulsating headaches throughout your head. Migraines are primarily a neurogenic process with secondary changes in cerebral perfusion associates with a neurogenic inflammatory process.

My-Grains, our IV protocol offers remedies for all ailments associated with Migraines. It helps with prevention as well as treatment of migraines and contains anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea medications, IV L-Taurine & IV Enhanced Myers mixed into normal saline, IV Tri-Amino push (L-Arginine, L-Citrulline, & L-Ornithine), and IV Glycine push. All together, they give our My-Grains formula the exact ingredients to rid you of that pesky migraine.

9. Useful in Alcohol and Drug Detoxification & Recovery

IV NAD+, for at least several decades, has been used “holistically” in the treatment approach for various forms of addiction. It can bind to opioid receptors in your brain, reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms, help curb cravings, support the body’s natural healing process, replenish lost neurotransmitters during sustained substance abuse, restore energy levels and detoxify the body by ridding it of residual drugs/alcohol and free radicals. In combination with Alpha Lipoic Acid and Glutathione, you can super charge the detoxification process by clearing your body from oxidative stress potentiators.

10. Improve Cognition & Memory and Decrease Brain Fog

Our proprietary Brain Boost formula diminishes brain fog and improves cognition & memory. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme central to metabolism and is found in all living cells. Sirtuins are a family of protein molecules and they have the ability to improve a cell’s resistance to stress and can slow the process of cognitive decline. IV NAD+ therapy provides sirtuins with the NAD+ coenzyme they require to sharpen mental clarity, boost memory, improve mood, and increase one’s ability to focus.

The post 10 Benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy first appeared on Nourish IV.

IV Nutritional Therapy (a.k.a. IV Vitamin Therapy or IV drip) is the intravenous (into the vein) delivery of vital nutrients. These might not be absorbed as readily through the normal route (i.e. your gut). The results are much faster than those of oral routes, sometimes instantaneously.

Some may have an inability to absorb nutrients via their gut, especially at higher doses. So getting them through an IV circumvents that issue. Receiving an IV chock full of nutrients can be a safe, and effective way to restore these deficiencies. It can also be customized 100% to suit the needs of each patient uniquely. Personalization of IV Nutritional Therapy allows for the patient and the physician to really target specific ailments or disease processes that a patient may seek to alleviate more naturally than through traditional medicines.

Patient’s that suffer from certain ailments of the digestive tract including will most certainly benefit from an IV route. These include Cystic Fibrosis, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, Colon Cancer, Whipple’s Disease, Celiac Disease, Short Bowel Syndrome, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Zollinger-Ellison, Syndrome, Pancreatic Insufficiency, Bile Duct or Gall Bladder Diseases, Chronic Liver Disease, as well as many other conditions.

I just got started with Nourish IV and their IV drips. I’m a beginner, so I tried the Nourish Me drip to test it out. I liked it a lot and have started experimenting with others. I work out a lot and I really like their post-workout formula of tri-amino, BCAA, nutrients as well as that anti-oxidant push of glutathione they give me afterwards.” – Bryce C.

I have to hand it to Nourish IV and Desert Mobile Medical. Enjoying an IV drip at home has helped me greatly regain my ability to feel energetic and enjoy life once again. Definitely try the Myer’s Cocktail. – George O.
