NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It powers your mitochondria—the "engines" of your cells—converting nutrients into energy. As we age, our natural NAD+ levels drop significantly, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and slower recovery. NAD+ Therapy replenishes these levels directly, boosting cellular energy, repairing DNA, and "turning back the clock" on a cellular level.

The main difference is dosage and absorption speed.

IV Infusion: Delivers a high dose of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream (100% bioavailability) over 1–3 hours. It is ideal for a "total system reboot," rapid recovery, or deep detoxification.

Injections (Subcutaneous): Deliver a smaller, steady dose just under the skin. They are quick (less than 5 minutes) and excellent for maintaining your levels between IVs or for those with busy schedules.

NAD+ is ideal for adults feeling the effects of aging or burnout. You are a great candidate if you suffer from chronic fatigue, "brain fog," low energy, or poor sleep. It is also highly effective for athletes seeking faster recovery, executives needing high mental performance, or anyone looking to improve their metabolic health and longevity.

Yes. While NAD+ is a natural coenzyme, your safety is our priority. A clinician will review your medical history and current medications to ensure the treatment is safe for you. Unlike weight loss programs that may require extensive blood panels, NAD+ clearance is typically faster, focusing on vital signs and general health history.

Most patients tolerate NAD+ very well, but some may experience temporary sensations during an IV infusion. These can include a feeling of warmth (flushing), slight chest pressure, or mild nausea. These sensations are actually a sign the NAD+ is working! If they occur, we simply slow down the drip rate, and the feelings usually subside immediately. Injections typically have few side effects other than mild site sensitivity.

Many patients report a "lifting of the fog" or increased mental clarity immediately after their first IV infusion. Physical energy and improved sleep patterns often improve significantly after 3–4 sessions. Consistency is key; as your cellular NAD+ levels are restored, the benefits become more pronounced and longer-lasting.

This depends on your goals.

For Anti-Aging/General Wellness: A "loading dose" (e.g., 1 IV per week for 4 weeks) followed by a monthly maintenance IV or weekly injections is common.

For Cognitive Decline or Fatigue: You may require a more intensive initial protocol (2–3 times per week) before transitioning to maintenance. Our clinicians will customize a schedule for you.

IV Therapy: You will relax in a comfortable chair while a small catheter is placed in your arm. The drip takes anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the dosage and your comfort level.

Injections: These are quick shots administered into the fatty tissue (usually the stomach or arm), similar to insulin or GLP-1 injections.

Absolutely. In fact, NAD+ pairs perfectly with medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. While weight loss drugs suppress appetite, they can sometimes cause fatigue or low energy. NAD+ helps counteract this side effect by fueling your cells, keeping your energy high and your metabolism efficient while you lose weight.

In most cases, NAD+ Therapy is considered an elective wellness and anti-aging treatment and is not covered by insurance. However, we offer competitive package pricing and membership options to make this powerful therapy accessible. We also accept HSA/FSA cards in many instances (please check with your provider).

You will not experience a "crash" or withdrawal. However, since your body’s natural NAD+ production declines with age, your levels will slowly begin to drop again over time without supplementation. Most patients find that once they have restored their optimal levels, a monthly maintenance IV or weekly injection is sufficient to keep the fatigue and brain fog from returning.

While NAD+ is actually used in addiction recovery and liver detox protocols because it helps repair cellular damage, we recommend avoiding alcohol and smoking on the day of your treatment. Alcohol depletes NAD+ levels, so drinking heavily while trying to restore your levels is counterproductive. For the best anti-aging and cognitive results, minimizing toxin intake is recommended.

To maximize the benefits of your therapy, focus on an anti-inflammatory diet rich in "Sirtfoods"—foods that activate sirtuins (longevity proteins) which work synergistically with NAD+. Great options include blueberries, dark chocolate (85%+ cacao), green tea, turmeric, walnuts, and extra virgin olive oil. Avoiding excessive sugar and processed foods will also help prevent the depletion of your new NAD+ stores.

Absolutely. In fact, many athletes use NAD+ specifically to improve performance and recovery. You may notice that you have more stamina and recover faster from workouts due to increased ATP (cellular energy) production. However, if you are doing a high-dose IV infusion, we recommend keeping your workout light on that specific day, as your body is already doing deep internal work.

While oral supplements like NMN or NR are popular, they must pass through your digestive system, where stomach acids break them down significantly before they reach your cells. This results in low absorption rates. IV and injectable NAD+ bypass the digestive system entirely, delivering 100% of the molecule directly into your bloodstream for immediate and potent utilization by your cells.

NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule in the body, making it very safe for the vast majority of people. However, as a precaution, we typically do not recommend it for patients who are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing active treatment for certain types of cancer. Our clinician will review your specific medical history to ensure it is the right choice for you.

Injections: The discomfort is minimal—just a quick "pinch" similar to a B12 shot or insulin injection.

IV Infusions: The needle placement is standard and minimally painful. During the infusion, some patients feel a unique sensation often described as "internal pressure," warmth, or mild cramping in the stomach or head. This is normal and indicates the cells are absorbing the NAD+. We can easily manage this by slowing down the drip rate to keep you comfortable.
