The Molecule of Energy
It's in every one of your ~30 trillion cells, powering the reactions that keep you alive. This is a stylized look at how it's understood to work — follow one molecule inward.
01 · The Delivery
Given as an injection or an IV, NAD+ goes straight into circulation — bypassing digestion, so it reaches cells throughout the body at full strength.
02 · The Destination
NAD+ arrives at the cell surface. To do its work it has to get inside — across a membrane just a few molecules thick.
03 · Crossing Over
Past the lipid wall and into the cytoplasm — the busy interior where the cell builds, repairs, and burns fuel.
04 · The Handoff
As the cell breaks down glucose, NAD+ picks up the freed electrons — flipping to NADH, a loaded carrier ready to deliver its charge.
05 · Deep Inside
NADH carries its electrons to the mitochondria — the organelles that turn fuel into usable energy.
06 · The Payoff
NADH drops its electrons into the electron transport chain. That flow spins a molecular turbine — ATP synthase — releasing the energy currency that runs every muscle, nerve, and thought.
07 · Why It Matters
Strip away the biology and it comes down to how you show up every day. Here's what people come to Atlas for.
08 · Get NAD+ at Atlas
From knowing your baseline to keeping levels steady — here's how Atlas puts NAD+ to work.
Membership optional
Get a quick NAD+ injection on its own — no membership required. Want to stay topped up? An Atlas membership keeps them regular and easy.
In-clinic
NAD+ and Niagen® (nicotinamide riboside) IV infusions deliver a full dose in one sitting — for when you want to go deeper.
Assessment
See where you really stand. Our biological-age assessment gauges how your cells are doing — a baseline to measure your progress against.
Take the assessment →NAD+ powers the energy your cells run on; glutathione is the master antioxidant that clears the byproducts of making it. Run together, they support cellular energy and defense at once — which is why we often pair glutathione with an NAD+ visit.
