In France, spas are starting to offer intravenous antiaging nutritional supplements. Focus on common practices in the United States.
What do Justin Bieber, Victoria Beckham, big bosses and stadium stars like Cristiano Ronaldo have in common? They regularly take NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) infusions to maintain peak performance. The secret spa at the Maison Villeroy Palace in Paris now offers this type of “infusion” in partnership with the English brand NADClinic. Infusion in the spa. The idea can be shocking. However, in London, New York, Los Angeles, Berlin or Tokyo, it has been commonplace for almost ten years now. You can take vitamins intravenously between two dates, like Madonna before her concerts. In France it is news that shocks our Cartesian minds.
Food supplement
Rest assured, the process appears to be under control. An extremely detailed health questionnaire is completed, monitored and verified remotely by a qualified physician before the infusion is set up by a qualified nurse. But above all, explains NADClinic founder Iain De Havilland. “NAD+, the form of NAD that we inject, is a derivative of vitamin B3. Therefore, it is not a medicine, but a food supplement. Before we settled at Maison Villeroy, we had already supplied more than 250 orthopedic surgeons in France, and we sent nurses from London to administer these infusions to the homes of many celebrities.”

Raise
However, this molecule is still little known in France. “It’s NAD stimulator cellular, which is linked to the mitochondrial respiratory chain to produce energy, explains D.r: Claude Dahl, AMWC, Scientific Director of the World Congress of Aesthetic and Antiaging Medicine. It is a stimulator of sirtuins, enzymatic longevity proteins that repair DNA damage that increases with age. Normally, it is constantly regenerated in our body, but it decreases tremendously with age. What D confirmsr: David A. Sinclair, a biologist and professor of genetics, in his book Why do we age? (Ed. Quanto). This coenzyme regulates many biological processes associated with aging and some neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases.
Increase immunity
Thus, increasing NAD levels will affect immunity, energy and physical performance, but also restore cognitive abilities by improving brain function. Iain De Havilland’s prescription is: “start with three or four infusions, then continue with one a month.” Knowing that NAD+ is rarely injected alone, but followed by vitamin C and/or glutathione, two powerful antioxidants. D:r: Weight slab. “The injectable form allows for rapid recovery, but is only of interest if it is accompanied by an oral form, which must be taken continuously and in sufficient doses for years.” Number D:r: Sinclair, who does this himself by supplementing one of NAD’s precursors, NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), will have the same effect, obviously in the long run.
