NAD+ IV Therapy: Evidence, Risks and Consultation Questions
Content and links reviewed on 22 October 2026.
NAD+ IV therapy should be evaluated by the actual formulation, reason for use, evidence and risks. Marketing claims about energy, anti-ageing or recovery do not establish a benefit for an individual or remove the risks of an IV procedure.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body, playing a role in how cells produce energy. Natural NAD+ levels are thought to decline with age and stress, which is part of why it’s associated with anti-aging wellness routines.
Why people try NAD+ IV therapy
- Energy support — many clients seek it out for a sense of renewed vitality.
- Anti-aging wellness routines — often combined with other IV Therapy drips as part of a broader plan.
- Recovery support — some use it after periods of high stress, travel or poor sleep.
Results and experience vary between individuals, and NAD+ is best viewed as one part of a wider wellness routine rather than a stand-alone fix.
What happens during a session
A typical NAD+ IV session involves a consultation to confirm suitability, followed by a slow intravenous infusion in a comfortable setting. Sessions can take longer than standard IV drips due to the infusion rate.
