What is NAD+?
NAD+ — nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — is a coenzyme naturally present in every cell. It plays an important role in the reactions that help the body convert nutrients into cellular energy and supports several normal cellular processes.
NAD+ IVs are commonly chosen by people interested in energy, recovery and healthy-ageing wellness. Research into the specific benefits of intravenous NAD+ is still developing, and individual experiences vary.
NAD+ 250mg
The 250mg NAD+ IV is administered over approximately 90–120 minutes. The infusion begins slowly and is adjusted throughout the session according to your tolerance.
NAD+ 500mg
The 500mg NAD+ IV is a longer infusion, usually requiring approximately 2–3+ hours. Enough time is reserved for the treatment to be administered slowly and adjusted according to individual tolerance.
What to expect during your NAD+ IV
Before your session, your health history, current medication and treatment suitability will be reviewed. Once the IV has been started, the NAD+ infusion begins at a slow rate and is adjusted according to how you feel.
Temporary rate-related sensations such as warmth, nausea, jaw tightness or chest pressure may occur. Tell us immediately about any discomfort so that the infusion can be paused or slowed and your symptoms assessed.
NAD+ appointments are longer than standard IV drips. Wear comfortable clothing and bring headphones, a book or a device to use while you relax.
