NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme your cells use for energy production and DNA repair, and research shows levels tend to fall with age. An IV infusion delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream, and our provider decides whether it is right for you.
The Science
NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including cellular energy production and DNA repair. Research shows NAD+ levels tend to fall with age, and scientists are still studying what that means for health.
An IV infusion delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream rather than through digestion. Research on the clinical benefits of IV NAD+ is still developing, experiences vary, and our provider decides whether it is appropriate for you.
Your Protocol
We review your symptoms, health history, and goals. Our provider decides whether NAD+ is appropriate for you and at what dose.
Your first infusion runs slowly, typically about 1 to 3 hours depending on your dose and how you tolerate the rate, with an RN monitoring you throughout. Some patients notice temporary flushing or mild nausea, which the RN manages by adjusting the drip.
We check in after your first session about how it went, and our provider adjusts dose and frequency from there. Individual experiences vary.
If our provider recommends ongoing sessions, maintenance infusions are scheduled on a plan that fits your goals and tolerance.
Who It’s For
What is NAD+?
NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism. Some patients seek NAD+ IV therapy for wellness goals such as energy, recovery, and mental clarity; however, research on the clinical benefits of intravenous NAD+ supplementation is still developing and individual results vary.
Why do patients seek NAD+ IV therapy?
Patients often pursue NAD+ infusions to support general wellness goals like energy, mental clarity, and recovery. As with any wellness therapy, individual experiences vary, and we don't guarantee specific outcomes.
How long does an NAD+ infusion take?
Infusion time depends on your dose and how your body tolerates the infusion rate, typically ranging from about 1 to 3 hours in our private, RN-monitored setting.
How often should I get NAD+ therapy?
There is no single schedule appropriate for everyone. Dose and frequency are determined by the medical provider based on health history, goals, tolerance, and clinical protocol.
What does an NAD+ infusion feel like?
You'll feel a standard IV needle insertion, and some patients notice mild warmth, flushing, or tightness during the infusion. Our RN monitors you throughout and can adjust the drip rate to keep you comfortable.
Who is a candidate for NAD+ infusions?
Candidacy is determined through a brief health screening and review of your medical history during your consultation, which helps our provider confirm NAD+ therapy is appropriate for you.
Are there side effects of NAD+ IV therapy?
The most commonly reported effects are temporary flushing, mild nausea, or cramping during the infusion, which our clinical team manages in real time by adjusting the infusion speed.
How does IV NAD+ compare to injections or oral supplements?
IV infusion delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream, while oral supplements are processed through digestion, and injections are administered into muscle or subcutaneous tissue. Each delivery method differs in how it's administered, and your provider can discuss which option may fit your goals.
Can NAD+ therapy improve energy, focus, or slow aging?
NAD+ plays a role in cellular energy metabolism, which is why some patients pursue it for these goals, but we do not guarantee specific outcomes related to energy, focus, anti-aging, or longevity. Research on the clinical benefits of IV NAD+ is still developing.
Is NAD+ therapy medically supervised at Contour Medical Clinic?
Yes. NAD+ infusions are administered under physician-established protocols by our clinical team, with your health history reviewed before your first session.
How much does NAD+ IV therapy cost in Tarzana?
Pricing depends on dose and session length. Visit our Pricing page for general ranges, or ask our team for a personalized quote during your consultation.
What should I expect at my first NAD+ appointment?
Your first visit includes a brief health screening, a review of your goals and medical history, and your initial infusion in a private setting with an RN monitoring you throughout.
