Dr. Taylor's take
“Every protocol I prescribe is based on a patient's individual history and monitored over time. NAD+ is one tool among several we use in longevity care, and it's added when it fits a patient's overall picture, not as a one-size-fits-all solution.”
Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD · Live Vital physician
About NAD+.
Also known as: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in the body. It plays a central role in converting food into cellular energy and supports the enzymes involved in DNA repair. Cellular NAD+ levels are understood to decline with age, which is part of why interest in NAD+ therapy has grown alongside broader longevity medicine.
Live Vital offers physician-prescribed NAD+ therapy as part of its longevity track. After a medical intake, Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD reviews your history and determines whether NAD+ is an appropriate addition to your protocol, with ongoing monitoring as part of your care.
How it works
NAD+ functions as a coenzyme in the mitochondria, the part of the cell responsible for producing energy (ATP). It also serves as a substrate for enzymes involved in cellular repair and maintenance processes. Because NAD+ is used up during normal cellular activity and its levels are believed to decline with age, supplementing it is intended to support the cellular processes that depend on it.
Who it may help.
- Adults noticing age-related dips in energy
- Those interested in a physician-supervised longevity protocol
- People looking for additional support for mental clarity and focus
- Patients already working with Dr. Taylor on recovery or healthy-aging goals
What to expect, when.
Many patients report noticing changes in energy or focus within the first days to weeks of starting therapy, though this varies. Your protocol is monitored through regular check-ins with Dr. Taylor so it can be adjusted as needed. As with any physician-supervised treatment, individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
Dosing is not one-size-fits-all. Dr. Taylor personalizes your dose and schedule after your medical intake, and adjusts it as your protocol progresses.
