The coenzyme your cells run on.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is involved in how every cell makes and uses energy. We offer it as a slow IV infusion and as a quick injection, in Sarasota and Englewood, with dosing set for you after a short evaluation.
What NAD+ is, in plain language
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It helps turn the food you eat into the energy your cells use, and it is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular repair and signaling.
Research suggests NAD+ levels tend to decline with age. NAD+ therapy delivers the coenzyme directly, either slowly by IV or quickly by injection, for guests who want to include it in a wellness plan.
We describe NAD+ as a wellness service. It is not a treatment for any disease, and we refer anything that needs diagnosis or treatment to your primary care provider.
Two ways to get it
Same coenzyme, two speeds. Many guests do an IV series and use injections in between.
NAD+ IV
Infused slowly over 2 to 4 hours in a private room. It runs slowly on purpose; a faster rate can cause flushing or nausea, and the nurse adjusts the drip to keep you comfortable.
- Consultation, then a comfortable seat and your own screen
- Nurse monitors you throughout
- Most guests go straight back to their day; mild tiredness or flushing can happen
NAD+ Injection
An intramuscular shot, usually in the shoulder or hip, in a few minutes. Used as a maintenance option between IV sessions or on its own.
- Walk in or book; no downtime
- Up to twice weekly; 100 mg maximum per visit
- Mild headache or nausea can occur; drink water afterward
Plan your NAD+ series in three questions
We will sketch a starting schedule. The nurse confirms dosing and pace at your first visit, and the physician reviews if you have a medical history we need to consider.
Tell us before your first session if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have heart or kidney conditions, or take medications regularly.

Questions people ask about NAD+
Is NAD+ therapy safe?
NAD+ is a coenzyme your body already makes, and NAD+ infusions are generally well tolerated when given slowly by a licensed nurse. Every guest is screened first, and the physician reviews anyone with a relevant medical history.
What are the side effects?
Some guests experience mild nausea, fatigue, headache, stomach discomfort, flushing, or an increased heart rate during or after a session, usually related to infusion speed. Injections can cause a mild headache or nausea.
How do you manage side effects during an IV?
If you feel any of the above, the nurse pauses the drip. Symptoms usually settle within minutes, and the drip is restarted at a slower rate so the rest of the session is comfortable.
How often do people do it?
Many guests start with several IV sessions across about 10 days, then move to one every 4 to 6 weeks, using injections once or twice a week in between. The nurse builds your schedule with you.
Do I need labs?
Not for standard NAD+ sessions. If your history suggests it, the physician may ask for labs before a higher-dose series.
Can I add NAD+ to another drip?
Yes, NAD+ is available as an add-on to any IV on our menu. See the IV page for add-on pricing.
Where can I read more about the research?
Our peptide field guide has a full NAD+ entry covering what it has been studied for, the typical protocol, and what to watch for, alongside every other option we discuss.
