NAD+ IV Therapy Benefits
Dragging yourself through the day with heavy fatigue can feel like moving through quicksand, no matter how much caffeine you lean on.
And on top of that, if your body keeps breaking down with colds and energy crashes, it only deepens the toll on your focus and resilience.
These setbacks are often linked to declining levels of NAD+ (oxidized Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide), a powerful coenzyme your cells need for energy production and immune defense.
At Young Naturopathic Center for Wellness, we offer medically supervised NAD+ IV and IM therapy to restore those levels. Here’s how it works and the benefits it can bring.
Key Takeaways
- NAD+ is important for producing energy and repairing your cells. But its levels drop due to aging, stress, poor sleep, and chronic diseases.
- IV therapy delivers NAD+ directly into your bloodstream, allowing your body to absorb and use it more effectively than supplements.
- Restoring NAD+ through IV or IM therapy can boost energy, support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and encourage healthy aging.
- At YNC, each infusion is personalized and prepared by licensed doctors, then combined with targeted treatments to strengthen your overall well-being.
What is IV NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ is like the premium fuel that your high-performance engine forgot it needed. Supplements help, but IVs and take-home intramuscular shots? That’s where the magic happens. NAD helps
When NAD+ levels fall, your cells can’t perform at their best.
NAD+ levels naturally drop with age, and factors like stress, poor sleep, or chronic illness can also speed this up. This may leave you feeling drained, foggy, and slow to recover after stress or activity.
Supplements and certain foods may give your body some NAD+, but much of it is broken down during digestion before it can be used.
IV NAD+ therapy delivers NAD+ directly into your bloodstream for rapid, effective absorption. This helps restore your energy, repair damage, and keep you feeling sharp and well.
Here’s a comparison of IV therapy and oral supplements:
| Feature | IV NAD+ therapy | Oral NAD supplements |
| How it’s taken | Delivered directly into your bloodstream | Taken by mouth as pills or capsules |
| Absorption | Rapid, nearly 100% absorbed | Slower, reduced by digestion |
| Dosage | Precise, medically supervised | Variable, less predictable |
| Onset of Effects | Quick, noticeable within hours to days | Gradual, effects build over weeks |
| Safety | Mild, monitored by professionals | Rare but possible GI upset or hepatotoxicity at high doses |
| Convenience | Requires clinic visits (2-4 hours per session) | Easy to take anytime, anywhere |
How Does NAD+ Therapy Work?
Once NAD+ enters your bloodstream, it moves into your cells and reaches the mitochondria, where your body produces energy. There, it helps convert food into cellular ATP (the fuel your cells use to function).
NAD+ also activates important proteins and enzymes, such as sirtuins and PARPs, that repair DNA, lower oxidative stress, and regulate genes linked to inflammation, metabolism, and cell health.
By restoring NAD+ levels, IV and IM therapy boosts your energy, strengthens your stress response, and supports your body’s natural repair systems, helping you stay healthier and age more gracefully.
Science-Backed Benefits of NAD Therapy
Based on research and our patients’ feedback, here’s what you can expect after NAD therapy:
Improved Energy and Mental Clarity
When your NAD+ levels drop, you may feel exhausted and foggy. NAD therapy may help restore your energy.
Animal studies have found that NAD protects brain cells from damage, reduces inflammation, and improves mitochondrial function, giving your cells the fuel they need to keep you sharp and energized.
In another study, healthy adults who received 750 mg of NAD+ infusions daily for five days reported improved memory, focus, and mental performance.
I’ve had CEOs tell me they went from mid-day crashes to steady, lasting energy throughout the workday. It’s not a magic wand, but when NAD+ works, it really works.

Strengthen Immune System
Low NAD+ levels weaken your body’s ability to fight infection and control inflammation. Restoring NAD+ supports immune cell function and strengthens antioxidant defenses, helping you stay resilient and recover more quickly.
In a 2020 U.S. clinical trial, an infusion containing an NAD+ precursor improved breathing and lowered inflammation in high-risk COVID-19 patients. At YNC, we’ve also seen our patients on regular NAD+ therapy report fewer illnesses and recover more quickly.
We combine targeted health and wellness testing with personalized NAD+ therapy to support your immune system and health goals.
Burnout Recovery & Nervous System Reset
Stress, long hours, and poor sleep drain your NAD+ reserves that your brain needs to function well. Replenishing NAD+ may help your nervous system adapt to stress, improve energy, and stabilize mood.
Research on long-term substance users found that four weeks of NAD+ infusions with amino acids and vitamins reduced cravings, eased anxiety and depression, improved sleep quality, and supported overall recovery, without serious side effects.
Many of our patients notice similar benefits, including calmer moods, better sleep, and improved physical performance after NAD+ therapy.
Cellular Repair, Detox, and Anti-Aging
NAD+ helps your body repair itself at the cellular level. It activates sirtuins, proteins that support mitochondrial health, repair DNA, and protect cells from everyday wear and tear.
In a small clinical study, six days of 1,000 mg NAD+ infusions restored NAD+ levels in healthy adults aged 70–80, improved natural antioxidant defenses, and reduced inflammation.
Research also suggests NAD+ therapy may protect the liver by reducing fat buildup, repairing cell damage, and calming inflammation. Good liver health supports natural detox and keeps your metabolism steady.
At YNC, we often combine NAD+ therapy with other anti-aging treatments to help you feel strong, clear-headed, and vibrant at every stage of life.
Weight Loss and Improved Metabolic Health
NAD+ activates genes like SIRT1 that burn fat and regulate metabolism, while suppressing genes like PARP that can slow weight loss. By supporting these pathways, NAD+ may make it easier to manage weight.
In one twelve-week study, people who took NAD+ precursors saw significant reductions in waist size and body mass index.
At our clinic, we personalize IV NAD+ therapy to match your unique health goals and metabolic needs.
For even better results, we pair NAD+ therapy with targeted options such as peptides or semaglutide to help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. Schedule a consultation today and start your path to lasting results.

FAQs
How is NAD+ Therapy delivered?
NAD+ therapy can be delivered through IV, IM, and oral formulations. We deliver NAD through both IV infusions, which go straight into your bloodstream for 100% absorption, or rapidly-acting IM injections, both of which give faster, more effective results than oral supplementation.
Is NAD+ Just Vitamin B3?
No, NAD is produced in the body from vitamin B3 compounds such as niacin, nicotinamide, and nicotinamide riboside, which are NAD precursors, but are not the same as NAD+ itself.
Can NAD+ Make You Look Younger?
NAD+ therapy may support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve mitochondrial function. These benefits can promote healthier skin and reduce visible signs of aging over time.
How Does NAD+ Make You Feel?
Many people report feeling more energized, clear-headed, and focused. NAD+ therapy may also reduce brain fog, improve mood, and boost stamina by supporting cellular energy and brain function.
Can You Take NAD+ Every Day?
Daily oral NAD+ precursors like NR or NMN are safe and commonly used for ongoing support, often over weeks or months. However, IV NAD+ infusions are usually given less frequently, under medical supervision, depending on your health goals.
What Are The Negative Side Effects of NAD+?
NAD+ therapies, especially IV infusions, are generally safe and well-tolerated. Possible side effects during infusion may include nausea, dizziness, flushing, or headache.
Who Should Not Take NAD+?
NAD+ therapy may not be right for you if you:
– Have severe liver or kidney problems
– Are pregnant or breastfeeding
– Have allergies to infusion ingredients
Always consult your doctor before starting treatment.
Does NAD+ Raise Blood Pressure?
No, NAD+ doesn’t raise blood pressure. Research suggests that NAD+ precursors may help lower blood pressure and improve artery health. But, responses vary from person to person, so monitoring is important.
