Q: What is NAD, and why is it important?
A: NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and maintaining healthy brain and organ function. As we age, our NAD levels decline, which is linked to fatigue, slower metabolism, and signs of aging.

Q: How is NAD administered?
A: NAD can be delivered through several methods, depending on your lifestyle and wellness goals. The most common and effective is IV infusion, which allows for maximum absorption directly into the bloodstream. These sessions typically last between 1–4 hours.
Other delivery methods include:
-
Subcutaneous (SQ) injections – quick and convenient, often used for maintenance between IV sessions
-
Oral supplements – widely available, though absorption is significantly lower compared to other methods
-
Nasal spray – offers fast absorption through the mucous membranes, ideal for those seeking cognitive benefits
Each method has its own advantages, and your provider can help you choose the best option for your needs.

A: Frequency depends on your wellness goals. Some individuals start with several sessions over a few weeks, then transition to monthly maintenance. Your provider can customize a plan based on your needs.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: NAD therapy is generally well-tolerated. Some people may feel slight chest tightness, lightheadedness, or nausea during the infusion, but these symptoms usually subside when the infusion rate is adjusted.
Q: How soon can I feel the effects of NAD?
A: Many people report feeling energized, focused, and uplifted within hours to days after treatment. Long-term benefits can be seen with consistent therapy.
