NAD+ Therapy & Glutathione in Staten Island
PHYSICIAN-GUIDED CELLULAR & WELLNESS THERAPY
Are you looking for NAD+ therapy in Staten Island? Still Well Med Spa offers physician-guided NAD+ and wellness services for patients interested in cellular wellness, energy-focused care, recovery and healthy-aging strategies.
NAD+ and glutathione are not peptides, but patients frequently discover them while researching peptides or longevity and wellness treatments in Staten Island. For that reason, Still Well includes them within its broader physician-guided wellness program while educating patients on their uses.
What Is NAD+?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, is a naturally occurring coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and many biochemical processes in the body. It exists in every cell and carries electrons between the reactions that turn food into usable energy. NAD+ is also a raw material for enzymes involved in DNA repair and in the sirtuin pathways that help regulate how cells respond to stress.
NAD+ has become popular in the wellness and longevity space because NAD+ levels are generally observed to decline as we age. The supplementation of this coenzyme is thought by many to be beneficial. However, the appropriate route, dose and clinical rationale should be discussed with a qualified medical professional since research has been minimal and treatments are not FDA-approved.
How Is NAD+ Administered?
NAD+ exists in a few different forms that are not interchangeable. Often it is administered through IV since, taken orally, much of the NAD+ dose is broken down during digestion before it reaches the bloodstream. An infusion avoids the digestive system altogether. NAD+ drips tend to be a longer appointment since a slower drip is more comfortable and produces fewer symptoms like flushing or cramping during the treatment.
Subcutaneous injections are also sometimes used in the wellness space, as well as oral precursors. Treatments should always be done in a supervised setting after a detailed consultation with a provider. Still Well Med Spa offers IV therapy in Staten Island where NAD+ can be administered under the close eye of Dr. Stilwell.

Glutathione
Glutathione is an antioxidant produced naturally in the body and involved in cellular antioxidant defense. Built from cysteine, glutamate and glycine, glutathione is sometimes called the body’s “master antioxidant” in wellness circles. It is called this because, along with neutralizing reactive molecules, it helps regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, so they can keep working. It is involved in the processes of the liver and helps clear certain substances. It is commonly used in wellness and IV therapy settings.
At Still Well, glutathione in Staten Island may be discussed as part of an individualized IV or wellness plan. The specific route and dose depend on clinical appropriateness and the treatment plan selected.
