NAD⁺ IV Therapy
Looking to support your energy and overall wellness? NAD⁺ IV Therapy delivers a naturally occurring coenzyme directly into your system through an IV drip or quick injection. Many choose NAD⁺ as part of their wellness routine to help recharge, recover, and feel their best.
What is NAD⁺ Therapy?
NAD⁺ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme present in every cell, essential for mitochondrial energy production, cellular repair, brain function, and detoxification. Levels naturally decline with age, stress, illness, and environmental factors, which can contribute to fatigue, cognitive changes, and reduced resilience. NAD⁺ therapy, administered through injection or intravenous infusion, provides a direct way to restore optimal levels and support cellular health.
Why NAD⁺ Therapy?
Patients often seek this treatment to enhance energy, mental clarity, recovery, and overall wellness as part of a comprehensive approach to healthy aging and vitality. While evidence is still developing, NAD IVs or IM boosters are often used alongside nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations to provide patients with a well-rounded approach to supporting their health.
How NAD+ IV Therapy Works
NAD⁺ is delivered directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous (IV) infusion or via an intramuscular (IM) injection, bypassing the digestive system so your body can access it immediately. Once in circulation, NAD⁺ moves into your cells and fuels the mitochondria, the “powerhouse” inside each cell. Mitochondria use NAD⁺ to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the body’s primary energy currency.
ATP is required for virtually every process in the body: muscle contraction, brain signaling, hormone production, immune defense, detoxification, and even repairing DNA. When ATP production is low, cells can’t perform optimally—leading to fatigue, brain fog, slower healing, and increased vulnerability to illness. Replenishing NAD⁺ helps restore more efficient mitochondrial function, boosting ATP production and, in turn, supporting energy, clarity, resilience, and healthy aging at the most fundamental cellular level.
What to Expect During Your Session
When you arrive for your NAD⁺ appointment, you’ll be welcomed by your practitioner, who will review the process with you and answer any questions.
For IV Infusions:
You’ll be seated in a comfortable chair, and a small IV line will be placed in your arm.
The infusion is given slowly over 1–2 hours. This gentle pace allows your body to integrate and use this coenzyme effectively, often leaving patients with improved energy and sharper focus that extends beyond the day of treatment.
Some mild sensations such as warmth, tingling, or slight pressure may occur as the infusion begins, but these are temporary and usually settles as your body adjusts.
For IM Injections (Boosters):
The injection is quick and usually takes only a few minutes.
A small amount of NAD⁺ is delivered into a muscle (often the arm or hip).
These boosters are convenient if you’re looking for a faster option with no downtime. Often, it's recommended to do a series of these injections.
