NAD+

What is NAD+ Treatment?

NAD+ is a wellness therapy used to support cellular energy, metabolism, recovery, and overall wellness. NAD+ may be administered as an injection or as an intravenous infusion depending on your treatment plan.

NAD+ is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Individual results and tolerance vary.

How Does It Work?

NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular processes related to energy production and repair. IV infusion delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream, while injection delivers NAD+ into tissue for absorption over time.

Infusion rate matters: some patients tolerate NAD+ best when it is infused slowly. Your provider may adjust the rate for comfort and safety.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

  • Hydrate well before treatment unless medically restricted.
  • Eat a light meal before treatment if recommended by your provider.
  • Tell your provider about all medications, supplements, allergies, medical conditions, recent procedures, and changes in your health.
  • Inform your provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have kidney, liver, cardiac, electrolyte, or uncontrolled medical concerns, or have a known allergy to any infusion or injection ingredient.
  • Avoid alcohol before treatment if instructed.
  • For IV infusions, plan enough time for your scheduled 2-hour or 4-hour appointment.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • NAD+ injections are typically brief and may involve a small needle placed into the muscle or subcutaneous tissue depending on provider direction.
  • NAD+ IV infusion is administered through an IV line over the scheduled infusion time. Therahaus offers 2-hour and 4-hour NAD+ infusion options.
  • You may feel warmth, chest or abdominal tightness, nausea, headache, flushing, or lightheadedness if infused quickly.
  • Your provider may slow the infusion for comfort.
  • For IV therapy, you may sit or recline during treatment and should notify staff immediately if symptoms occur.

Post-Treatment Care and Expectations

  • Hydrate before and after treatment unless medically restricted.
  • Eat normally after treatment as tolerated unless instructed otherwise.
  • Avoid strenuous activity if you feel lightheaded, flushed, or fatigued after treatment.
  • Mild soreness, redness, or bruising may occur at injection or IV sites.
  • Contact us if symptoms are severe, persistent, or concerning.

What to Avoid

  • Avoid strenuous exercise immediately after treatment if you feel lightheaded, fatigued, or unwell.
  • Avoid alcohol after treatment if you experience nausea, flushing, dizziness, or dehydration.
  • Do not remove or disturb any dressing early if an IV site or injection site is covered.
  • Avoid touching the injection or IV site with unwashed hands.
  • Do not drive if you feel dizzy, faint, or otherwise impaired after treatment.

Skin Care

  • No specific skincare changes are usually required for NAD+ treatment unless you are also receiving a skin procedure.
  • Keep injection and IV sites clean and dry as directed.
  • Avoid applying lotions, makeup, or irritating products directly over a fresh injection or IV site until closed and calm.
  • If NAD+ is paired with an aesthetic treatment, follow the skincare instructions for that primary procedure.

Additional Recommendations

  • Bring something relaxing to read, watch, or listen to during longer IV infusions.
  • Let your provider know immediately if you feel nausea, flushing, chest or abdominal tightness, dizziness, headache, or discomfort during infusion.
  • Plan a lighter schedule after your first NAD+ treatment so you can assess your personal tolerance.
  • Maintain hydration and balanced nutrition to support comfort and wellness goals.
  • Follow your provider’s recommended schedule for repeat treatments, if applicable.

FAQ

Q: Why are NAD+ infusions sometimes given slowly?

A: Some patients experience nausea, flushing, abdominal tightness, chest tightness, headache, or lightheadedness when infused quickly, so the infusion rate may be slowed.

A: Therahaus offers 2-hour and 4-hour NAD+ infusion options. Your provider will recommend the option that best fits your plan and tolerance.

Q: When will I feel results?
