What it is
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell. It helps mitochondria turn food into energy and fuels enzymes involved in DNA repair, including the sirtuins studied in aging research. Levels appear to fall with age, making NAD+ a focus of longevity research.
NAD+ IV therapy delivers it directly into the bloodstream over a few hours. People use it for energy, mental clarity, healthy aging and support during addiction recovery, and many say they feel clearer after a series. Lab and animal research is strong, but human studies of IV NAD+ are still small and early.
What happens at a visit
- A health review and baseline labs before your first infusion.
- IV placement by an experienced nurse.
- A slow drip over 2 to 4 hours, since a slow pace keeps it comfortable.
- Flushing, chest tightness or cramping can happen and usually ease when the drip slows.
- Time to read, work or rest during the infusion.
- A plan for next steps; many protocols use a series of 3 to 6 sessions.
Who it is for
- Adults noticing lower energy with age
- People following longevity research
- People in addiction recovery, alongside their treatment team
- People with ongoing fatigue or brain fog
- Busy, active people who want support for energy and focus
Evidence and safety
Lab and animal studies show NAD+ is central to cell energy, and raising it improved markers of aging in animals. Human research on IV NAD+ is limited and early, including for addiction recovery. It is generally well tolerated under medical supervision; flushing, nausea and chest tightness are common and ease when the drip slows. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have heart, kidney or liver disease should check with a clinician first.
