Restoring NAD+ Levels Before and After Menopause

The best way to have restoration in NAD+ levels is with NAD+ injections or infusion.  It can help reignite the cellular engines that power our metabolism, repair damaged DNA, activate longevity genes, and enable our cells to function at more youthful levels.

Maintaining optimal NAD+ levels during menopause is associated with several biological processes that influence common symptoms:

• Cellular energy production: NAD+ serves as a critical coenzyme in mitochondrial function, directly impacting energy levels and fatigue resistance

  
  

• Brain cell efficiency: Adequate NAD+ helps support neuronal health and cognitive function through enhanced mitochondrial activity and SIRT1 activation

  
  

• Circadian rhythm regulation: NAD+ is essential for proper circadian rhythm function through the NAMPT-mediated salvage pathway, influencing sleep patterns

  
  

• Cellular repair mechanisms: NAD+ enables DNA repair processes through PARP activation, supporting overall cellular health

  
  

• Metabolic function: As a key metabolic regulator, NAD+ helps maintain efficient energy utilization and metabolic flexibility

While NAD+ levels naturally decrease during menopause, maintaining optimal cellular concentrations can support the body’s ability to manage this transition effectively.

NAD+ precursors are compounds that our cells can use to generate new NAD+ molecules. The most well-studied and effective precursors include:

• Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)

  
  

• Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)

  
  

• Nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3)

  
  

NAD+ and Libido During Menopause:

When you reach menopause, it’s not just the hot flashes and sleepless nights that can throw you off—it’s your libido, too. If you’ve been feeling a little less interested, you’re not alone.

But why does this happen?

The answer lies in NAD+. As we went over earlier, our NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and this affects many processes in our bodies, from energy production to hormone regulation.

As menopause sets in, declining levels of estrogen and testosterone can naturally lower your sex drive even more. On top of that, reduced NAD+ levels can leave you feeling drained, irritable, and stressed—none of which help your desire.

Fortunately, increasing NAD+ might be just what you need to reignite that spark. Here’s why:

• Hormonal Balance: NAD+ supports the hormones that drive your libido, including estrogen and testosterone. By boosting NAD+ levels, you help keep those hormones in check.

  
  

• Neuroprotection: NAD+ protects your brain and reduces oxidative stress, which can improve mood, lower stress, and promote arousal.

  
  

• More Energy: NAD+ fuels your cells, boosting your overall energy and giving you more vitality for intimacy.

  
  

• Better Mood: By fighting fatigue and mood swings, NAD+ helps you feel emotionally balanced and ready to enjoy a deeper connection.

With optimal support for your NAD+ levels, you can reclaim not just your energy and vitality but your libido as well, bringing back the passion you thought menopause had taken away.
