NAD+ is a step beyond a standard IV drip. NAD+ — short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide — is a molecule your cells use to produce energy, repair stress-related damage, and support healthy aging. Where a typical IV delivers fluids and nutrients, NAD+ works at the cellular level. It's physician-prescribed, administered by licensed nursing staff, and requires more time than a standard IV because the infusion rate matters. Going too fast is uncomfortable, and the protocol is built around doing it right rather than doing it quickly.
Protocols developed with guidance from Dr. Jesse Morse, specializing in sports medicine, performance, recovery, and longevity-focused care.
NAD+ is directly involved in how your mitochondria — the energy-producing parts of your cells — convert nutrients into usable fuel. Replenishing NAD+ levels may support how efficiently that process runs, which guests often notice as improved energy and reduced fatigue.
MAY SUPPORT MENTAL CLARITY AND FOCUS
NAD+ plays a role in brain cell function and neurological health. Many guests report improvements in mental clarity, focus, and mood over the course of a series of sessions.
SUPPORTS THE BODY'S REPAIR PROCESSES
NAD+ activates enzymes involved in DNA repair and cellular maintenance. These include sirtuins, which are proteins associated with longevity and stress response, and PARP enzymes, which help the body identify and fix cellular damage.
A LONGEVITY-ORIENTED PROTOCOL
NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. Replenishing them through a physician-directed IV protocol is one of the more targeted tools available for guests focused on long-term optimization and healthy aging.
Who Should Do
NAD+ Therapy?
GUESTS FOCUSED ON LONGEVITY AND OPTIMIZATION
If you're already doing the basics well and want to go deeper, NAD+ is one of the more clinically grounded tools in the longevity space.
GUESTS DEALING WITH COGNITIVE FATIGUE
Brain fog, low energy, and difficulty sustaining focus are common reasons guests explore NAD+. The cellular-energy angle makes it particularly relevant for mental performance.
GUESTS READY FOR A MORE COMMITTED PROTOCOL
NAD+ is not a quick drop-in session. It requires time, medical screening, and follow-through. It's best suited for guests who are serious about optimization and comfortable with a supervised, multi-hour experience.
FrequentlyAskedQuestions
How is this different from a regular IV drip?
A standard IV delivers fluids, vitamins, and minerals to support hydration, recovery, or immune function. NAD+ works at a more fundamental level — it's a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production and repair. The infusion is longer, more rate-sensitive, and requires closer monitoring than a standard IV formula.
What dose should I start with?
Most first-time guests start with the 250mg dose, which runs about 90 minutes and is a good way to see how your body responds. From there, the 500mg is the most popular option for consistent results. The 750mg and 1,000mg doses are for guests focused on enhanced cellular repair and peak performance respectively. Your care team will help you choose the right starting point.
Can I enhance my session with add-ons?
Yes. Every NAD+ infusion includes a base of B-Complex, B12, Magnesium, and Vitamin C. From there, you can pair your session with Red Light Therapy, Sauna, or add Glutathione, Hydration, or Magnesium boosters for additional support. Rest and recovery time post-infusion is also built in as a no-cost option, since low stimulation after the session helps maximize results.
Is this therapy private?
NAD+ sessions take place in our shared IV lounge. Because sessions can last several hours, the environment is designed to feel calm and comfortable rather than clinical. Staff are present and monitoring throughout.
Why does the session take so long?
Rate is the most important variable with NAD+. Infusing too quickly is the primary reason guests experience side effects like chest tightness, nausea, headache, or body-wide tingling. A slower infusion is simply a more comfortable and safer experience. That's not a limitation — it's the protocol working as intended.
What will I feel during the session?
Some guests feel very little. Others notice temporary warmth, flushing, tingling, mild nausea, or restlessness, particularly if the rate is too fast. These sensations are rate-related and typically resolve when the drip is slowed. Let your nurse know immediately if anything feels uncomfortable.
Can I split my dose across multiple sessions?
Yes, and for some guests this is the better approach. Splitting a larger dose into two or three shorter sessions can improve tolerance and make the overall experience more manageable, especially for first-time guests.
Can I combine NAD+ with other therapies?
Yes, thoughtfully. Red light therapy and compression are gentle pairings that support cellular energy and circulation. Sauna and contrast therapy are stronger physical stressors, so those are generally better scheduled on a separate day or earlier in the day before your infusion. Your care team can help you sequence things appropriately.
How soon will I notice results?
Some guests notice shifts in energy and mental clarity during or shortly after their first session. More meaningful changes in focus, mood, and recovery typically emerge over a series of sessions rather than from a single infusion.
Can I track my progress with biometrics?
Yes. Useful everyday markers include energy levels, mental clarity, mood, sleep quality, and HRV — heart rate variability, a wearable-based measure of how well your nervous system is recovering. For deeper tracking, labs may include fasting glucose and insulin for metabolic health, CBC and CMP for safety monitoring, and inflammatory markers like hsCRP when NAD+ is part of a broader optimization protocol.
Is NAD+ therapy safe for everyone?
No. Every guest requires physician screening, a medical order, and nursing oversight before and during the session. NAD+ is not appropriate for guests with certain cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled blood pressure, significant kidney or liver disease, or other contraindications identified during screening.
Is this a medical treatment?
NAD+ therapy is a physician-directed wellness service administered by licensed nursing staff. It requires medical oversight and individualized screening. It is not a substitute for ongoing medical care, but it is one of the more clinically structured services we offer.
