\"Methylation,<\/p>\n

Can NAD+ Injections and NAD+ Boosting supplements deplete Methyl Pools?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, <\/span>NAD+ injections and NAD+ Boosters can significantly impact your methylation pools<\/b>. While injections are an effective way to bypass digestive issues and raise systemic NAD+ levels quickly, they create a high demand for “methyl donors” to process the byproduct of that NAD+.<\/span><\/p>\n

In clinical circles, this is often referred to as <\/span>“Methyl Stripping.”<\/b><\/p>\n

1. The Clearance Mechanism (The Methyl Drain)<\/b><\/h3>\n

When a doctor injects NAD+ into your system, your body uses what it needs for energy and DNA repair. However, NAD+ is eventually broken down into a molecule called <\/span>Nicotinamide (NAM)<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To prevent NAM from building up to toxic levels (which can actually shut down the very longevity genes you are trying to activate), the liver must “tag” it for excretion. This tagging process requires a <\/span>methyl group<\/b> (CH3).<\/span><\/p>\n
