1. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme essential to cellular energy production, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and metabolic processes. NAD+ levels decline with aging and may also be influenced by metabolic and oxidative stress.

NAD+ therapy is designed to support cellular metabolism and energy pathways by increasing NAD+ availability. Emerging research continues to explore its potential role in healthy aging, metabolic health, cognitive function, sleep and cellular resilience.

At Valiva Health, NAD+ therapy is offered as a wellness-focused, medically supervised treatment and is individualized based on each patient's health history and goals.

2. Glutathione is a naturally occurring antioxidant composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine, and glutamate. Produced throughout the body, it plays an important role in antioxidant defense, cellular protection, immune function, and normal liver detoxification pathways.

Glutathione helps neutralize reactive oxygen species and supports the body's ability to manage oxidative stress, while also participating in cellular metabolism and the recycling of other antioxidants.

Glutathione therapy is used to supplement the body's natural antioxidant defenses. Research continues to explore its potential role in oxidative stress, cellular health, and healthy aging.

At Valiva Health, glutathione is offered as a wellness-focused, medically supervised therapy and is individualized based on each patient's health history and goals.

3. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in calcium absorption, bone and muscle health, immune function and neurologic function. The body naturally produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight, and it can also be obtained through certain foods and supplementation.

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is an effective form of supplementation used to prevent or correct vitamin D deficiency. Low vitamin D levels can contribute to impaired bone mineralization and, when significant, may be associated with muscle weakness, bone discomfort, and fatigue.

For patients with documented deficiency or inadequate vitamin D intake, supplementation can help restore and maintain appropriate levels. Injectable vitamin D3 may be considered when clinically appropriate based on individual risk factors, laboratory results, absorption concerns, and treatment goals.

At Valiva Health, vitamin D therapy is individualized and medically supervised, with laboratory monitoring when indicated to support safe and appropriate supplementation.

4. L-Lysine is one of nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce and therefore must obtain through diet or supplementation. It serves as a building block for proteins and contributes to tissue growth and repair, collagen formation, carnitine production, and calcium metabolism.

L-lysine is perhaps best known for its potential role in supporting individuals with recurrent herpes simplex virus (HSV), including cold sores. Some studies suggest adequate lysine intake or supplementation may help reduce the frequency or severity of recurrent outbreaks in certain individuals, although clinical evidence remains mixed.

Lysine also contributes to normal protein synthesis and tissue repair, making adequate intake important for overall health and recovery.

At Valiva Health, L-lysine supplementation is offered when clinically appropriate and individualized according to dietary intake, health history, symptoms, and wellness goals.
