Niagen® Injection Therapy

Niagen® is a branded form of nicotinamide riboside (NR). NR is a precursor to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and other biological processes.

NAD+ is found throughout the body, which is why interest in NAD+-related therapies has grown in areas such as healthy aging, metabolic health, and cellular wellness.

Niagen® and NAD+ are related, but they are not the same:

• Niagen®: Contains nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to NAD+
• NAD+: A coenzyme used directly in numerous cellular processes
• Niagen® therapy: Provides NR so the body can use its natural pathways to produce NAD+

The names can sound interchangeable, but the approaches are different. Niagen® Injection Therapy uses nicotinamide riboside (NR), which your body can convert through natural metabolic pathways to NAD+. NAD+ therapy, by comparison, involves administering NAD+ itself.

At Elevate Medical Center, we can discuss these options based on your health history, goals, and overall wellness plan.

Cellular health doesn't depend on one treatment. Nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, preventive care, and metabolic health all contribute to long-term wellness.

For some patients, Niagen® may be incorporated into a broader physician-guided plan alongside services such as NAD+ therapy, IV hydration, vitamin injections, or integrative primary care, when appropriate.
