NAD+ Injection
1000mg vial.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is the "universal battery charger" of the cell. It powers over 500 enzymatic reactions including DNA repair, energy production, and cellular signaling. NAD+ levels decline with age — restoring them supports energy, cognition, and longevity.

How NAD+ Works
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme present in every living cell, essential for hundreds of metabolic processes. It plays a central role in energy production (converting nutrients into ATP in the mitochondria), DNA repair, gene expression regulation, and cellular signaling. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age — by approximately 50% between ages 40 and 60 — contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired DNA repair, and the cellular hallmarks of aging. NAD+ therapy aims to restore these declining levels to support cellular function and resilience.
Benefits & Clinical Evidence
Research on NAD+ has accelerated dramatically in recent years. Studies demonstrate that restoring NAD+ levels activates sirtuins — a family of proteins involved in longevity, inflammation regulation, and metabolic health. Animal studies show improved mitochondrial function, enhanced DNA repair, neuroprotection, and extended healthspan with NAD+ repletion. Human studies, while still emerging, report improvements in energy, cognitive clarity, exercise endurance, and recovery. NAD+ is also being studied for its potential role in neurodegenerative disease, metabolic syndrome, and immune function.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
NAD+ therapy is commonly sought by patients experiencing age-related fatigue, cognitive fog, slow recovery from exercise, or general decline in vitality. It is popular among patients focused on longevity and cellular health optimization. Individuals recovering from substance use disorders have also been treated with NAD+ IV therapy in clinical settings. Athletes, executives, and anyone in their 40s or beyond who wants to support cellular energy and repair capacity may benefit. NAD+ therapy is appropriate for both men and women.
What to Expect: Treatment Timeline
Many patients report improved mental clarity and energy within 1-3 days of their first NAD+ treatment. Subcutaneous NAD+ injections provide a more gradual delivery compared to IV infusions. A typical protocol involves daily or every-other-day subcutaneous injections for an initial loading phase (2-4 weeks), followed by a maintenance phase (2-3 times weekly). The full effects on energy, sleep quality, and cognitive performance usually stabilize over 4-8 weeks. Available at Optimize 360 from $212.50/vial.
Side Effects & Safety
The most common side effects of NAD+ injections are mild nausea, flushing, and chest tightness, which are more pronounced with IV administration and less common with subcutaneous injections. Some patients experience mild discomfort or warmth at the injection site. These effects are typically brief (minutes) and resolve on their own. Starting with lower doses and titrating up can minimize initial side effects. NAD+ has a strong safety profile when administered under medical supervision.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Oral precursors like NMN and NR must be converted into NAD+ through multiple enzymatic steps, with variable absorption and conversion efficiency. Injectable NAD+ delivers the active molecule directly, achieving higher and more reliable blood levels. Many patients who tried oral supplements without noticeable results report significant improvement with injectable NAD+.
A: Individual responses vary, but most patients maintain benefits with ongoing maintenance dosing (2-3 times per week after the initial loading phase). NAD+ is continuously consumed by cellular processes, so sustained repletion requires consistent administration. Some patients cycle — using a loading phase every few months with maintenance dosing in between.
A: Yes. NAD+ pairs well with hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and metabolic health protocols. It supports the cellular machinery that makes other therapies more effective — for example, cells with adequate NAD+ may respond better to hormonal signaling. Your provider will integrate NAD+ into your overall wellness protocol.
