Unlock your full potential with NAD+ IV drip

If you struggle with fatigue, chronic stress, brain fog, depression, or other cognitive hurdles, NAD+ may help you. 

NAD+ is a coenzyme needed to power hundreds of metabolic processes such as repairing cellular damage, fighting infection and inflammation, fueling brain function, and slowing the effects of aging.

Many people could benefit from NAD+ IV therapy. It is commonly prescribed to treat anxiety, depression, fatigue, addiction and age-related conditions.

It is also helpful for people who struggle with chronic conditions that deplete NAD+ such as Lyme disease, long Covid and Epstein Barr Virus. 


Flooding the body with NAD+ is intended to induce a process called mitophagy— an autophagy process that involves the removal of damaged mitochondria to rejuvenate and maintain mitochondria function. 


Since the mitochondria are responsible for creating ATP energy (AKA the powerhouse of the cell), this process of “cleaning house” with NAD+  rejuvenates mitochondria and optimizes cell function. 

NAD+ helps your cells function optimally which leads to system-wide benefits and optimized body function. 

Our members who receive NAD+ IV therapy often report

What to expect at Holistic Health Clinic+

If you are not an established member, at your first visit you will meet with an NP to discuss your medical history and if NAD+ is right for you. 

If you are a candidate for NAD+, you will start or schedule the first of four drips to receive a loading dose of NAD+. A typical loading dose starts low and is increased to patient tolerance over 4 to 10 days or more of daily drip treatments. 

A loading dose of NAD+ is infused daily for 4 days followed by a once monthly maintenance dose every 4-8 weeks as needed or as recommended by your provider. 

NAD+ IV therapy can be uncomfortable. 

Common side effects include stomach or muscle cramping, chest pain, nausea, headache, sinus congestion, low back pain or leg heaviness. The drip rate is adjusted to the patient's tolerance and can take up to 4 hours or longer to administer. 

Ask your nurse about the available medications to treat side effects before and during the infusion. 

Patients are encouraged to bring laptops, books, etc. to use throughout their treatment. There are comfortable chairs and a table for clients who would like to work while receiving treatment at the clinic.
