• Niagen® IV Therapy: Advanced NAD+ Restoration

  Transform Your Cellular Health

  At Rheumatology Therapeutics Medical Center (RTMC), we offer cutting-edge Niagen® IV therapy—a scientifically advanced approach to restoring cellular energy, supporting healthy aging, and enhancing overall vitality. Unlike traditional NAD+ infusions, Niagen IV delivers superior results with better tolerability and faster action.

  What is Niagen® IV Therapy?

  Niagen® IV is a pharmaceutical-grade intravenous formulation of nicotinamide riboside chloride (NRCl), a patented and highly bioavailable form of vitamin B3. Once in your body, nicotinamide riboside is efficiently converted into NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)—a vital coenzyme that powers over 500 enzymatic reactions essential for life.

  NAD+ is fundamental to:

  • Cellular energy production and mitochondrial function
  • DNA repair and genetic stability
  • Metabolic regulation and healthy aging
  • Immune function and inflammatory response
  • Cognitive performance and neuroprotection

  Why NAD+ Levels Matter

  NAD+ levels naturally decline with age and chronic illness, dropping by as much as 50% between youth and middle age. This decline is accelerated by:

  • Aging and cellular senescence
  • Chronic inflammation (particularly relevant in rheumatologic conditions)
  • Metabolic stress and oxidative damage
  • Chronic diseases including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders

  Research has specifically linked reduced NAD+ levels to increased disease severity in rheumatoid arthritis patients, with lower NAD+ correlating with higher inflammatory markers and worse clinical outcomes.

   

  Why Choose Niagen® IV Over Traditional NAD+ IV?

  Superior Safety & Tolerability

  • Minimal side effects: Unlike NAD+ infusions which commonly cause nausea, chest tightness, palpitations, headaches, and cramping, Niagen IV is remarkably well-tolerated
  • Clinical studies show Niagen IV produces only minor, transient effects such as mild congestion or tingling
  • Safe at doses up to 3000 mg daily in clinical trials

  Faster, More Efficient Infusion

  • Short infusion time: 30-45 minutes vs. 2-4 hours for NAD+ IV
  • Better NAD+ elevation: Clinical trials show 20% higher blood NAD+ levels at 3 hours post-infusion compared to direct NAD+ IV
  • More efficient cellular uptake through natural metabolic pathways
  • Can be combined with IV Vitamin infusions, such as EnergyBoost IV

  More Effective Results

  • Niagen is converted to NAD+ through your body’s natural “salvage pathway”—the same route your cells use daily
  • Provides sustained NAD+ elevation lasting 24+ hours
  • Pharmaceutical-grade quality with extensive clinical validation (175+ peer-reviewed studies, 30+ ongoing clinical trials)

  The Science Behind Niagen®

  Niagen® (nicotinamide riboside chloride) is the most extensively researched NAD+ precursor:

  • FDA GRAS status (Generally Recognized as Safe)
  • 175+ peer-reviewed preclinical studies validating mechanisms and efficacy
  • 30+ ongoing clinical trials exploring applications in aging, metabolic health, cardiovascular function, and neuroprotection
  • Proven safety in doses from 250mg to 3000mg daily
  • Validated efficacy in multiple randomized, placebo-controlled human trials

  Recent groundbreaking research published in leading journals has demonstrated:

  • Safe elevation of NAD+ levels by up to 5-fold in human trials
  • Restoration of NAD+ in immune cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients
  • Improvements in conditions ranging from Parkinson’s disease
  • Improvements in peripheral artery disease
  • Improvements in attention and possible slowing memory loss

  Frequently Asked Questions

  How is Niagen® IV different from oral NAD+ supplements?

  IV administration bypasses the digestive system, providing superior bioavailability and more rapid, substantial increases in blood NAD+ levels compared to oral supplementation.

  How quickly will I feel results?

  Many patients report increased energy and mental clarity within hours to days. Optimal benefits typically develop over a series of treatments.

  Is this safe for patients with autoimmune conditions?

  Niagen has been specifically studied in rheumatoid arthritis patients and shown to be safe and potentially beneficial. However, individual assessment is essential—our physicians will determine appropriateness for your specific condition.

Peptide Therapy for Tissue Repair & Recovery

Peptides offer a new and investigational approach to healing and tissue regeneration at the cellular level. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as molecular messengers, directing your body’s natural healing processes with remarkable precision.

What is Peptide Therapy?

Peptides are naturally occurring biological molecules that regulate cellular communication and function. Therapeutic peptides harness these signaling capabilities to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, enhance recovery, and support overall healing—addressing the root cause rather than simply masking symptoms.

BPC-157:The Healing Peptide most used in Rheumatology and Orthopedics

Body Protection Compound-157 (BPC-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protective protein naturally found in gastric juice. Reported affects across multiple tissue types include:

• Accelerated healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints
• Powerful anti-inflammatory effects reducing pain and swelling
• Enhanced angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) for improved tissue healing
• Nerve regeneration support, potentially beneficial for neuropathic conditions
• Gastrointestinal protection and healing
• Cartilage and bone repair, particularly relevant for arthritis patients

Clinical Applications

Peptide therapy, particularly BPC-157, may benefit patients experiencing:

• Sports injuries and muscle strains
• Tendonitis and ligament damage
• Joint pain from arthritis or overuse
• Post-surgical recovery
• Chronic inflammatory conditions
• Gastrointestinal disorders

Treatment Protocol & Safety

Administration: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, often administered near the site of injury for targeted healing

Treatment Duration: Typically 4-6 weeks for acute conditions; customized based on individual response

Safety Profile: BPC-157 has demonstrated excellent tolerability in preclinical studies with minimal reported side effects. Most patients experience no adverse reactions.

Important Note: BPC-157 is currently available for therapeutic use but is not FDA-approved. Clinical trials in humans are ongoing. Treatment is provided under physician supervision following comprehensive medical evaluation.
