The brain has neuro-receptors that receive signals from natural neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and nor-epinephrine, the so-called “feel good” brain chemicals. Drugs and alcohol mimic this effect, but they over-stimulate the nerves and damage the very receptors they are stimulating.
What do amino acids do? Amino acids are the building blocks to the neurotransmitters that are produced in the brain.
If you are interested in learning more about amino acids and NAD+, please review options below or contact the clinic.
*Please note that in Ontario, naturopathic doctors are unable to use NAD+ – I work with Medical Doctors who are able to do a joint assessment of patients and delegate the use of NAD+ by myself as the naturopathic doctor. Patients in BC do not need an MD to oversee NAD+ treatment.
The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease.
