What Is NAD+?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell that declines significantly with age. NAD+ therapy — delivered via IV infusion or subcutaneous injection — has become one of the most sought-after longevity interventions, with research supporting improved cellular energy, DNA repair, and neurocognitive function.

Key Benefits

  • ✓ Cellular energy restoration (mitochondrial function)
  • ✓ DNA repair activation (sirtuin pathway)
  • ✓ Improved cognitive clarity and focus
  • ✓ Reduced fatigue
  • ✓ Potential protection against neurodegenerative disease

Questions to Ask Your Clinic

Before starting any NAD+ protocol, ask these questions — the answers reveal a lot about the clinic's quality and approach.

  • ❓ Do you offer IV NAD+ or subcutaneous injection?
  • ❓ What dose do you start with for a new patient?
  • ❓ How frequently do you recommend infusions?
  • ❓ Do you combine NAD+ with other longevity protocols?

⚠️ Always Ask About Sourcing

The quality of NAD+ depends entirely on where it's compounded. Ask every clinic whether they use a 503A or 503B FDA-registered compounding pharmacy. Learn the difference here →
