There’s nothing quite like the arrival of spring - longer days, fresh air and flowers in bloom. But for millions, it also signals the irritating return of seasonal allergies: sneezing, itchy eyes, sinus pressure and the dreaded fog that can cloud even the sunniest of days. Antihistamines are often the first line of defence, but what if supporting your immune system at a deeper level could help bring longer-term relief?
This spring, it’s time to look beyond symptom control. The power of NAD+ might just help to tackle seasonal allergies at the cellular level.
What Actually Causes Seasonal Allergies?
At the root of spring allergies is your immune system, specifically, an overreaction to harmless substances like pollen. Your body identifies these particles as threats, triggering the release of histamines and other inflammatory compounds. This immune surge causes the familiar symptoms: swelling, congestion, itching, and general discomfort.
Antihistamines work by blocking those signals, providing short-term symptom relief. But they don’t address the deeper question: why is your immune system overreacting in the first place?
NAD⁺ and Immune Regulation
Let’s turn to Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD⁺), a molecule naturally found in all living cells. It’s most known for its role in energy production and DNA repair, but research also shows that NAD⁺ is closely tied to immune regulation and inflammation control.
Here’s how:
-
NAD⁺ fuels immune cell metabolism and respiration, which is essential for their overall function.
-
It supports the activity of sirtuins, a family of proteins that help regulate inflammation and cellular stress responses.
-
It plays a role in modulating T cells and macrophages, helping maintain immune balance and preventing chronic or excessive inflammation.
When NAD⁺ levels are healthy, your immune system could be more likely to remain in balance and react appropriately.
The issue? NAD⁺ declines with age, with bodily levels depleting due to factors such as stress, poor sleep, alcohol intake and illness - all common in the colder months leading up to spring.
Low NAD⁺ might therefore leave your immune system more reactive and less regulated, potentially making allergic responses worse or harder to recover from.
The NADclinic Solution
If you’re tired of relying on antihistamines alone, it might be time to take a smarter, more proactive approach. Supporting your immune system at the cellular level with NAD⁺ could help reduce the intensity of allergic reactions, improve resilience, and help you feel more in control this season.
NADclinic’s Enhanced Optima Max capsules may help build up long-term resilience to seasonal allergies. Each tablet is clinically formulated, delivering a concentrated 250mg of NAD⁺ per capsule to help fortify the immune system.
