Cellular energyinjectable
NAD+
A coenzyme every cell needs to turn food into energy; levels fall with age.
What to expect: Energy and mental clarity within days of a loading phase.
Evidence: ModerateWhere to start
Fix this first.
Energy is produced, not found. When your mitochondria and your sleep are both underperforming, caffeine just borrows from tomorrow.
Priorities, in order
- Sleep depth first
- Then mitochondrial output
- Caffeine cut-off by noon
Foundations
- Morning daylight 10 min
- Caffeine before noon only
- Zone 2 cardio 3x/week
Start today — no labs needed
- NAD+ loading (no labs needed)

Safety & eligibility
Honest about what this is — and isn't.
Persistent fatigue can signal thyroid, iron or sleep disorders; your physician will screen for these.
Not a fit if you have
- Active cancer
- Pregnancy
Your physician will ask
- Recent bloodwork showing anemia?
- Sleep apnea diagnosis?
A licensed, Vero-contracted physician reviews your intake and decides whether to prescribe. Nothing ships without that review.
