NAD+ Therapy — Patient Education Handout

What is NAD+

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell in your body — essential for energy production, DNA repair, and cellular communication. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age: by your 40s, levels may be less than half of what they were in your 20s. This decline is linked to fatigue, brain fog, slower metabolism, and accelerated aging at the cellular level. IV and IM NAD+ therapy replenishes these levels directly — bypassing digestion for maximum absorption and faster results.

How It Works

⚡

Fuels Your Mitochondria

NAD+ powers the Krebs cycle — how your cells convert food to energy (ATP). More NAD+ = more efficient energy at the cellular level.

🔧

Activates Longevity Proteins

Sirtuins — proteins that regulate aging and DNA repair — cannot function without NAD+. Replenishing levels activates their protective effects.

🧬

Repairs DNA Damage

NAD+ is required by PARP enzymes — your cellular DNA repair machinery. Critical for aging, inflammation control, and cellular health.

🧠

Protects Brain Function

Supports neuronal health, reduces neuroinflammation, and has been studied for cognitive function and neuroprotection.

Before

Eat a light meal. Hydrate well. Avoid heavy exercise. Provider determines your starting dose.

During IV

Duration: 1–4 hours depending on dose. Chest tightness, nausea, or flushing may occur — all rate-dependent. Tell your nurse if uncomfortable.

Hours 1–6

Many patients notice a shift in energy and mental clarity within hours of their first infusion.

Days 1–7

Improved sleep, sustained energy, reduced brain fog. Effects build progressively over the first week.

Ongoing

Monthly IV infusions or IM injections 2–3x/week recommended to sustain optimal levels.

Who Benefits Most

Adults with persistent fatigue despite adequate sleep

Patients with brain fog or cognitive decline concerns

Athletes seeking accelerated recovery and performance

Patients on GLP-1 or hormone therapy optimizing cellular health

Anyone interested in longevity and anti-aging

Adults 35+ with age-related energy and metabolic decline

What You Need to Know

Important before your treatment:

Chest tightness, nausea, and flushing are common — rate-dependent and not dangerous. Tell your nurse if uncomfortable.

Results vary. Some feel improvement after one session; others see progressive improvement over a series.

NAD+ is used as a wellness optimization therapy. Tell your provider all medications and conditions before starting.

Contraindications: active cancer treatment, severe kidney disease, pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an infusion take?

Typically 1–4 hours depending on dose and tolerance. Lower doses run faster; higher doses require slower rates to minimize side effects.

How many sessions do I need?

An initial series of 4–10 infusions over 2–4 weeks is common. Monthly maintenance infusions or 2–3x weekly IM injections sustain levels.

IV vs IM — what's the difference?

IV delivers maximum bioavailability directly into the bloodstream. IM is faster and more convenient — ideal for maintenance between IV sessions.

Can I combine NAD+ with other therapies?

Yes — NAD+ pairs well with glutathione, vitamin injections, hormone therapy, GLP-1, and peptide therapy. Ask your provider about combination protocols.

Will I feel the side effects?

Most patients experience some chest tightness or nausea during their first infusion. These lessen with each subsequent session as your body adjusts.

How do I maintain my results?

Monthly IV infusions or 2–3x weekly IM injections maintain elevated levels. Combining with quality sleep, nutrition, and exercise extends results significantly.
