What is NAD+ and What Does It Do?

NAD+, Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body that plays a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular function. It helps convert nutrients into ATP, the body's primary energy source, and supports brain function, metabolism, and anti-aging processes. As NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, supplementation through injections, IV therapy, or nasal sprays may help improve energy, cognitive function, muscle recovery, and overall cellular health.

1. Potential Benefits of NAD+ Injections

May boost energy levels and reduce fatigue

Supports brain function, cognition, and mental clarity

Aids in cellular repair and anti-aging processes

Helps with metabolism and weight management

May assist in addiction recovery and withdrawal symptoms

Supports immune function and inflammation reduction

2. How is NAD+ Administered?

Typically administered as a subcutaneous (SQ) or intramuscular (IM) injection. For prescriptions delivered to your home, the SQ option is preferred for safety and ease of use.

4. Possible Side Effects & Risks

Flushing, warmth, or mild discomfort at the injection site.

Headaches, dizziness, or nausea, especially with high doses.

Fatigue or mild flu-like symptoms initially.

Potential low blood pressure (hypotension) in some cases.

Rare but possible allergic reactions.

5. Who Should Avoid NAD+ Injections?

Patients with low blood pressure or cardiovascular conditions

Individuals with a history of severe allergies to NAD+ or injection components

Pregnant or breastfeeding women (limited research available)

Those with certain metabolic disorders should consult their doctor first

6. How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Some patients notice immediate improvements in energy and mental clarity after a couple injections. Others may require multiple sessions over weeks to see full benefits.

Effects vary based on individual health conditions and metabolism.

7. Lifestyle Factors That Enhance NAD+ Therapy

Eating a healthy diet rich in B vitamins (precursors to NAD+)

Regular exercise and sleep optimization

Reducing alcohol intake and managing stress

8. How do I obtain a prescription?

Schedule an appointment to review your health history and treatment goals. Before the prescription is sent to the pharmacy, you will need to sign a consent form. Once processed, your medication will be delivered directly to your door.
