NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a central role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular aging. As we get older, NAD+ levels decline — and IV therapy is one of the fastest ways to replenish them.
Why do people get NAD+ IV therapy?
People seek NAD+ infusions for a wide range of reasons: anti-aging and longevity, addiction recovery support, cognitive enhancement (mental clarity, focus), chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia, metabolic support and weight management, and athletic performance. Research on NAD+ is still emerging, but early clinical data and widespread anecdotal evidence suggest significant benefits for energy, brain function, and cellular health.
How long does a NAD+ infusion take?
This is where NAD+ differs significantly from other IV treatments. A full NAD+ infusion typically takes 2–4 hours, sometimes longer for high doses. The infusion must be administered slowly to avoid side effects like nausea, chest tightness, or cramping. Many clinics offer half-dose sessions (1–2 hours) for first-timers. Plan to spend a half or full day at the clinic.
How much does NAD+ IV therapy cost?
NAD+ is the most expensive IV treatment on most menus. Expect to pay $300–$700 per session depending on the dose (typically 250mg–1000mg) and your location. A full treatment protocol for addiction recovery may involve daily infusions for 10 days, costing $2,000–$6,000 total. Many patients find the results worth the investment.
What does a NAD+ session feel like?
NAD+ infusions are known for producing noticeable sensations as the drip runs. Many patients feel flushing, butterflies in the chest, leg cramps, or nausea — these are temporary and managed by slowing the drip rate. By the end of the session, most people report feeling a deep sense of energy, mental clarity, and calm. Some describe it as a "reset" feeling.
