In the world of biohacking, longevity, and functional medicine, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) has become the ultimate wellness buzzword—and for good reason. It’s the molecule behind energy, focus, metabolism, detoxification, and even anti-aging.

But what exactly is NAD+, and why are elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and wellness seekers lining up for IV infusions and injections?

Let’s break it down—and explore the top 10 things to know before starting NAD+ therapy so you can decide if it’s right for you.

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It’s responsible for fueling mitochondria
(your cells’ energy centers) and driving countless biochemical reactions—everything from turning food into energy to repairing DNA.

As we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decline—leading to:

  • Slower metabolism
  • Fatigue
  • Brain fog
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Increased inflammation
  • Greater vulnerability to illness

That’s why NAD+ supplementation—especially via IV therapy—has become such a powerful tool for restoring energy and vitality from the inside out.

Top 10 Things to Know Before Starting NAD+ Therapy

1. NAD+ IVs Offer Superior Absorption
While oral NAD precursors like NMN and NR are helpful, IV therapy delivers pure NAD+ directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and allowing your cells to
absorb it immediately.
2. It Boosts Cellular Energy (ATP)
NAD+ helps your mitochondria create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cellular energy currency. This means more energy, better recovery, and sharper focus—especially when you’re depleted.

3. Methylation Support Is Crucial
High doses of NAD+ can deplete methyl groups, so it’s essential to support your methylation pathways with supplements like Methyl CPG and methylated B vitamins. We always tailor this at Peak Health to avoid the “methylation trap.”

4. It Supports Detox and Longevity
NAD+ plays a key role in sirtuin activation—proteins linked to longevity, inflammation control, and DNA repair. It also fuels phase I and II detoxification in the liver.

5. It’s Powerful for Neurological Health
Many patients report improved mood, cognition, and clarity after NAD+ therapy. This is why it’s being studied for support in neurodegenerative conditions, brain fog, and anxiety.

6. You May Feel Sensations During Infusion
NAD+ IVs are potent and can feel & “tight” or achy if pushed too fast. We infuse slowly and strategically at Peak Health to ensure a comfortable experience. If you’re feeling uncomfortable during your infusion, all we have to do is slow down the drip rate to your body’s preferred absorption.

7. Results Can Be Cumulative
Some feel immediate results. Others benefit most from a series of infusions over weeks or months. Think of it as charging your body’s battery—consistency matters.

8. You Don’t Need to Be “Sick” to Benefit
NAD+ isn’t just for those with fatigue or chronic illness. It’s also ideal for:

  • Athletes
  • Busy professionals
  • Parents running on fumes
  • Anyone wanting to optimize cellular health

9. There Are Injections Too
If you’re not ready for an IV, we also offer NAD+ injections for steady support throughout the
week—great for travel or on-the-go lifestyles.

10. A Personalized Plan Is Best
Everyone responds to NAD+ differently. That’s why we offer a free 15-minute consult with our
providers this month to help customize your plan and address any questions.
