Adaptive and innate immunity are essential to how your body protects you against foreign invaders. Your adaptive immunity is within your tissues and has memory as to how if fought off infections and illnesses from the past. Your innate immunity is how well your body fights off a new infection by utilizing antimicrobial and host defense peptides. T Cells are lymphocyte immune cells or white blood cells that originate from our bone marrow and help fight off pathogens.
These T Cells work directly with B cells to create y-shaped antibodies (immunoglobulin) that connect to the pathogen and destroy it. The problem is that many people have a weakened immune system that is not able to fight off these pathogens. The other issues is that many of us are in a hyper-state of inflammation and our own antibodies start attacking our healthy organs and tissue. This is the basis of autoimmune dysfunction.1
Several natural ingredients such as glutathione, inositol, and nicotinamide (a precursor to NAD) can play a significant role in immune system support.2 As we age, NAD is reduced significantly with in the body. Nicotinamide supports the production of T-cells. Deficiency of nicotinamide has been shown to result in compromised defenses against pathogens. Nicotinamide is the primary precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), an essential coenzyme in ATP production. Maintaining an efficient supply of NAD seems to be a crucial need for a multitude of cell functions including immune system support.2
Due to IV infusions efficacy and remarkable outcomes for various conditions like autoimmune disorders, fatigue, chronic pain, mental clarity, and increased energy or physical performance, IV infusions are on the rise. Because IV infusions don’t need to pass through the digestive system, they are absorbed at an optimal level. NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) infusion therapy is a valuable treatment option with multiple health benefits.

. Energy
