Fertility Infusions
Enhance your fertility treatment with these innovative and supportive therapies.
Introduction to Fertility Infusions:
Fertility Infusions are intravenous treatments designed to advance reproductive health and increase the chance of fertilization. The intended purpose of these infusions is to address immune, hormonal, or nutritional issues that may be affecting one’s fertility.
What are NAD+ Infusions and How Do They Work?:
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD+ is a coenzyme identified in all living cells. It holds a significant role in cellular energy production and metabolic processes. As time passes, NAD+ levels will start to diminish. This particular reduction is associated with aging and fatigue, with an apparent decline in cellular repair functions.
NAD+ infusions are administered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system, stimulating prompt absorption. The intent is to replenish cellular NAD+ levels, enhancing mitochondrial function, thus promoting healthy energy levels, improving cognitive function and potentially aiding in detoxification and anti-aging.
Replenishing levels of NAD, may promote fertility improvement through several mechanisms that support cellular health, mitochondrial function, and anti-aging processes.
Here’s How NAD+ Can Potentially Improve fertility:
- DNA Damage Repair:
NAD+ is incredibly important as it helps activate enzymes called sirtuins, which help repair damages prevalent in DNA.
DNA damage can happen environmentally (like oxidative stress) or naturally with age. By supporting DNA repair, NAD+ infusions can boost the integrity of eggs and sperm, bettering the chances of a healthy and viable pregnancy.
- Regulating Immune Function:
Furthermore, NAD+ is influential to immune system function and has anti-inflammatory properties! Inflammation may be connected to various fertility issues including poor egg quality, implantation failure, and early miscarriage.
By modulating the immune system and reducing inflammation, NAD+ infusions may help produce a more suitable environment for implantation and pregnancy maintenance. Individuals with conditions such as endometriosis, may benefit from NAD+ infusions as it’s intended to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in reproductive tissue.
- Supporting Hormonal Imbalance:
Healthy hormone levels are imperative for ovulation, sperm production, and upkeeping the uterine environment necessary for embryo implantation.
NAD+ engages with metabolic and hormonal pathways that affect reproductive function. Conversely, NAD+ infusions can help support these pathways, ensuring that hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are properly regulated, rendering it essential for fertility.
Moreover, Individuals with conditions such as PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), may benefit from NAD+ infusions as it supports metabolic functions and may potentially relieve some of the metabolic and inflammatory aspects of PCOS, prompting ovulation and favorable egg quality.
What Are Intralipid Infusions?:
Intralipid Infusions are sometimes used in fertility treatments - particularly women undergoing vitro fertilization (IVF) or other assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The primary objective of intralipid therapy is to modulate the immune system and raise the chances of embryo implantation and pregnancy in women who may have immune related fertility issues.
How Do Intralipid Infusions Support Fertility?:
- A portion of women have elevated levels of natural killer (NK) cells or other immune-related factors that can attack the embryo, inhibiting a successful implantation.
Intralipids are believed to suppress these NK cells, reducing immune response and inflammation that may otherwise harm the embryo implantation.
- Conversely, intralipids may increase the likelihood of embryo implantation by promoting a more thriving environment in the uterus. This particularly benefits women who have had repeated unsuccessful IVF outcomes or have experienced recurrent miscarriages, possibly linked to immune system issues.
- Another great benefit about intralipid infusions, is that it's generally considered a safe-low cost option, in comparison to other immune-modulating therapies, such as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).

“Eternally Grateful”
It is amazing what a difference a year can make. Last year we were feeling depressed and anxious and unsure about whether or not this would happen for us. This year we are expecting the birth of our first child. Dr. Saadat is amazing. You will feel the difference right away between his office and any other office around. They must make it a rule there to only hire friendly, compassionate people because everyone there was so sweet – especially all the nurses. Thanks again for everything guys!
"Felt Welcome From the Start"
I wanted to say thank you to the entire staff for making us feel welcome to our first visit especially on a Saturday. We met with Dr. Sadaat and was very informative and took time with us with all of our questions. For the financial department, Melissa was very helpful with keeping in contact with us regarding any paperwork that we needed as well as with setting our appointment. We do look forward for treatment with Dr. Saadat.
"The Solution to Our Problems"
We just celebrated our son’s first birthday, and thought we should send out warm wishes to Dr. Saadat and his team as well. Without them this would not have been possible. We had “unexplained” infertility issues and the first clinic we went to was not very friendly and we felt like we were just another “cycle”. Dr. Saadat was always willing to answer questions and the nurses there were terrific. I felt like everyone in the office was on our side, and that makes a huge difference. So thank you to everyone from Anna, Michael and Alex.
"One Big Thank You"
Dr Saadat is very open and accommodating to my financial and medical concerns. He doesn’t force unnecessary tests like other places do. He’s a very nice and efficient reproductive endocrinologist.
"Helpful in Every Way"
We traveled across the world to be treated by Dr. Saadat. My wife was not able to have babies and we could not get an answer from Doctors in our country why. It is also important in our culture that our first baby be male. Dr. Saadat was able to help my wife get pregnant and make sure that we had a baby boy. They were helpful in every way and we felt comfortable even though we are not from the United States. Everyone was patient and understanding and respectful. We will be back in a few years to grow our family.
"It's Never Too Late!"
All I can say is do not give up hope! I was 43 when I got pregnant for the first time. I had honestly been trying for years. I now have 3 beautiful children, a 6 year old girl and 3 year old twins – a boy and a girl. I feel blessed every day. It can happen. Thank you Dr. Saadat.
"The Perfect Fit for the Job"
I came to Dr. Saadat’s office because I felt like the Doctor I was working with was not a good fit. It isn’t that they were doing anything wrong but I did not feel a connection. This is such a personal type of medical treatment, and I want the people helping me to make me feel cared for. Dr. Saadat’s approach is also a bit different – he does all the ultrasounds himself – which is very reassuring. His staff is great, and his bedside manner is comforting. I am thankful for everything they all did, and thankful everyday for my daughter!
