Dry January & NAD+ the secret to feeling amazing without alcohol
So, you’ve made it through Dry January (or you’re still powering through). You might be feeling sharper, sleeping better, and wondering why you ever put up with hangovers in the first place. But if you’ve struggled with energy dips or cravings along the way, there’s something that could help—NAD+.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It’s crucial for energy production, DNA repair, and brain function. But as we age, or if we regularly drink alcohol, our NAD+ levels take a hit, leaving us feeling sluggish and foggy.
How Alcohol Depletes NAD+
Alcohol puts a serious strain on the body. Processing booze drains NAD+ reserves, making it harder to produce energy, detoxify, and repair cells. This is why heavy drinking can lead to fatigue, poor concentration, and premature ageing.
The Benefits of Boosting NAD+
Since Dry January gives your liver a break, supporting NAD+ levels can help you feel the full benefits of quitting alcohol. Increased NAD+ levels can:
Enhance energy production – Say goodbye to that sluggish feeling.
Improve mental clarity – No more brain fog or memory lapses.
Support detoxification – Helps the liver recover faster.
Reduce cravings – A steady supply of cellular energy makes it easier to resist temptation.
Slow ageing – NAD+ plays a key role in DNA repair and overall cell health.
How to Boost NAD+ Naturally
Diet – Eat foods rich in B3 (like salmon, chicken, and mushrooms), which is a precursor to NAD+.
Exercise – Regular movement stimulates NAD+ production.
Fasting – Intermittent fasting has been shown to increase NAD+ levels.
Supplements – Taking our NAD+4U supplements

IV Therapy – If you’re after a rapid boost, NAD+ IV drips are becoming increasingly popular for the best bioavailability.
The Takeaway
Dry January is an opportunity to reset, but if you want to feel even better, supporting your NAD+ levels can take things to another level. Whether you’re planning to stay alcohol-free or just want to make your next drink less of a shock to the system, focusing on cellular health will keep you feeling sharp, energised, and in control.
