Beat the New Year Blues with NAD+

Feeling particularly low in January? You’re not alone.

As the holiday season fades into the distance, many of us begin to feel the weight of the New Year settling in. The first month can often bring a mixture of low energy, sadness and lack of motivation, commonly known as the ‘January Blues’. This slump is caused by a variety of factors that impact our mental and physical health, including reduced sunlight, returning to work, the pressure of new year’s resolutions and the post-holiday lull.

The combination of these influences can leave us feeling drained, unproductive and overwhelmed, making it hard to get back on track after the festive period. The good news? Scientific research has highlighted NAD+ as a powerful, natural solution to combat the New Year Blues. In this article, we’ll explain how boosting NAD+ levels can help you overcome feelings of fatigue, low mood and lack of focus, allowing you to kickstart 2025 in the best way possible.

Understanding the New Year Blues

The low mood we feel at the start of a new year is brought about by a series of factors:

Reduced Sunlight
Shorter days disrupt our circadian rhythms and lower serotonin levels, leading to fatigue and low mood.

Post-Holiday Slump
Returning to routine after the festive period can feel like an uphill battle, leaving many feeling unmotivated and overwhelmed.

New Year Overwhelm
Although it provides a fresh start, many people feel overburdened by the pressure of new year’s resolutions and the long 12 months stretched out in front of them.

Lifestyle Choices
Overindulgence during the holidays, paired with limited physical activity, can deplete energy reserves and leave us feeling less than our best.

These challenges can take a toll on our mental and physical wellbeing, impacting productivity, focus and emotional balance. That’s where NAD+ comes in.

How NAD+ Can Help

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell, essential for energy production and overall cellular health. As our body’s NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, it’s important to supplement them. Doing so can bring about the following benefits:

Boost Energy Metabolism

Feeling drained after the holidays? NAD+ is critical in converting nutrients into ATP – the body’s main energy source. By enhancing cellular energy production, NAD+ can help you feel more alert and invigorated, shaking off any sluggishness.

Elevate Mood and Mental Clarity
Low mood and “brain fog” are common in January. NAD+ helps regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are vital for maintaining a balanced mood and clear focus. This means you can face each day with greater positivity and mental sharpness.

Support Cellular Repair
After weeks of indulgence and stress, your body needs time to recover. NAD+ activates repair enzymes like sirtuins which promote cellular regeneration, helping your body heal from oxidative stress and inflammation.

Enhance Productivity
If you’re struggling to stay motivated, NAD+ can help. By improving cognitive function and energy levels, topping up your store of NAD+ equips you to tackle tasks more efficiently and regain your momentum.

The Power of NAD+ IV Infusion Therapy

When it comes to improving your NAD+ levels, NADclinic offers expertly formulated solutions tailored to your body’s unique needs. Whether through a single express IV infusion or a bespoke, mutli-session programme, they provide a fantastic way to prioritise your mental and physical wellbeing. 

IV (intravenous) infusions work by delivering nutrients, vitamins and the power of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream through a vein, usually in the arm or hand. This method bypasses the digestive system, ensuring faster and more efficient absorption of the infused substances.

To get your year off to the best possible start, get in touch with our friendly, professional team, or visit one of our clinics to discover how our IV programmes can elevate your mental wellbeing this year.
