NAD+ IV Therapy: What It Is and Who It's For

A full guide to NAD+ IV therapy: how it works at the cellular level, who books it, and what to expect from a 2-to-4-hour infusion.

NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body. It is used in the reactions that turn nutrients into energy and by the proteins that repair DNA. Whether that is why a given person feels foggy or tired has not been established, and an NAD+ infusion has not been shown to change it.

NAD+ IV therapy puts the coenzyme directly into your bloodstream, so the full dose on the label is delivered. That is a statement about the route, not about what the dose does once it arrives.

The infusion runs slower than a regular IV drip. A typical NAD+ session takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the dose. That's not because there's a ton of fluid. It's because NAD+ has to be given at a controlled rate. Push it too fast and you can get flushing, chest tightness, or nausea. A good provider adjusts the speed based on how you're feeling and keeps the whole thing comfortable.

Who books it? People in a demanding work stretch, people in recovery who have been told about it by a program, people over 40 who have read about it, athletes curious about it, and people who had one somewhere else and want it at home. Those are reasons people give us; none of them is a result we have measured, and we do not promise one.

On the science side: in an animal study, raising NAD+ levels restored mitochondrial function in old mice (Gomes et al., Cell, 2013). These animal findings do not establish benefits from NAD+ IV therapy in people. Human outcome evidence for NAD+ IV therapy remains limited (Alangari et al., Frontiers in Aging, 2026).

Here's the practical side: a 3-hour appointment at a clinic is a hassle. That's a big reason why mobile delivery works so well for NAD+. A provider comes to your home or office, you set up wherever you're comfortable, and you can work, read, or just relax while the drip runs. You're not burning half your day on logistics.

At A&M IV Co., the NAD+ Drip starts at $249 and is delivered by a licensed nurse, with a clinical review before every infusion. We cover Nashville and Middle Tennessee, and you can book online or text us first if you want to talk through whether NAD+ makes sense for you. Chest tightness during NAD+ is a known rate effect: tell the nurse, who slows or stops the drip. Chest pain that continues once it is stopped, pain spreading to the arm or jaw, trouble breathing, or swelling of the lips or throat means call 911. An IV is elective wellness care and not a substitute for emergency care.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an NAD+ IV take?

A typical NAD+ infusion takes 2 to 4 hours, much longer than a standard 60 minute drip. That is not because of the fluid volume; NAD+ has to be infused at a slow, controlled rate, because pushing it too fast can cause flushing, chest tightness, or nausea. Your provider adjusts the speed to how you are feeling throughout.

How much does NAD+ IV therapy cost in Nashville?

At A&M IV Co., the NAD+ Drip is $249 for the standard 250mg dose and $449 for the higher 500mg dose. Both are delivered at your home in the Nashville area by a licensed nurse over 2 to 4 hours, with a clinical review before the infusion starts. The price includes the visit, supplies, and the full infusion.

What does NAD+ IV therapy actually do?

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell, used in how cells produce energy and repair DNA, and levels are known to fall with age. An IV delivers the full dose on the label directly into your bloodstream. Clients book it for energy, mental clarity, and recovery support; human outcome evidence for NAD+ IV therapy remains limited, so we describe the molecule's role and not a result.

Does an NAD+ IV have side effects?

When infused too quickly, NAD+ can cause temporary flushing, chest tightness, or nausea, which is why the drip runs slowly over 2 to 4 hours and is adjusted to your tolerance. At A&M IV Co. a licensed nurse stays with you for the entire infusion and slows the rate if you feel any discomfort. Most clients simply work, read, or relax while it runs.
