NAD+ therapy
A longer, more involved IV protocol — for clients with specific cellular-health goals.
What it is
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell in the body, central to energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signalling. Levels decline with age, illness and stress. High-dose intravenous NAD+ aims to restore those levels more efficiently than oral precursors can.
The clinical evidence base is genuinely developing — promising for some applications (recovery, mitochondrial support, neurocognitive symptoms in specific contexts) but not a proven anti-ageing treatment in the broad sense it's sometimes marketed as. We are honest with clients about this.
It is a longer, more involved treatment than a standard IV drip. Sessions take several hours, and the infusion itself can be uncomfortable. We dose conservatively and slowly.
What it treats
- Persistent fatigue not explained by lifestyle factors (and after appropriate medical investigation)
- Recovery support after significant illness or intensive training
- Cognitive sharpness — concentration, mental clarity (evidence developing)
- Sleep quality, in some clients
- Adjunct to other healthspan and wellness work
How it works
- 1 Detailed consultation with our prescriber — full medical history, current medications, recent blood work, and a frank conversation about what you want and what the evidence supports.
- 2 If appropriate, an initial half-dose session to assess tolerance.
- 3 Full-dose sessions are slow infusions — typically 2 to 4 hours each. We dose conservatively to manage the side-effect profile.
- 4 A starting protocol is usually a course of 3–6 sessions over several weeks, then maintenance every 4–8 weeks if continuing.
What to expect
Appointment time
2–4 hours per session
Downtime
None medically. Some clients describe feeling tired for several hours after the first one or two sessions; most settle by the third.
How it feels
The IV itself is comfortable, but high-dose NAD+ commonly produces a sensation of pressure, mild chest tightness, or flushing during the infusion. Slowing the drip resolves it. We make you comfortable throughout.
Aftercare
Hydrate well in the 24 hours after. Avoid alcohol on the day of treatment. Eat a substantial meal within a couple of hours.
Results visible
Subjective effects (energy, clarity) often within 24–72 hours of the first sessions for some clients; null for others
How long they last
Highly individual. Maintenance every 4–8 weeks for those who continue.
Is this right for you?
A good fit if
- You have a specific, considered reason for considering NAD+ — not 'because it's trending'
- You've had appropriate medical investigation of any persistent symptoms first
- You're prepared for a longer, more involved infusion than a standard IV drip
- You accept that the evidence base is developing and the response is individual
Not the right time if
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have significant cardiac, hepatic or renal disease
- You're under 18
- You have a persistent symptom that hasn't been properly investigated by a doctor first
- You're looking for a miracle anti-ageing intervention — the evidence doesn't support that framing

FAQs
Will it make me feel different?
Some clients describe a clear lift in energy and mental clarity in the days after a session. Others notice nothing. The response is genuinely individual, which is part of why we suggest assessing after 1–2 sessions before committing to a full course.
Why is it so much more expensive than a normal IV drip?
NAD+ is an expensive raw material, sessions are several hours long (so a treatment room and clinical supervision are tied up), and the infusion needs careful titration. The pricing reflects clinical time as much as product cost.
Is it uncomfortable?
High-dose NAD+ commonly produces a sensation of pressure, mild chest tightness, or flushing during the infusion. Slowing the rate resolves it. We pace the drip to keep you comfortable; it is not pain in any conventional sense.
How does it compare to oral NAD precursors (NMN, NR)?
Oral precursors raise NAD+ levels via supplementation and are easier to take consistently — but produce a smaller, slower lift. IV NAD+ delivers a much larger dose directly. They serve different purposes and can be complementary; we discuss in consultation.
Are there long-term safety concerns?
NAD+ has been used clinically for decades in specific contexts (addiction medicine, neurology research). Long-term safety data for repeated wellness-context dosing is still building. We dose conservatively and assess after each course.
