How NAD⁺ IV therapy works
NAD⁺ — Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide — is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body. It powers energy production, supports DNA repair, and helps regulate how your cells age and recover. Your NAD⁺ levels decline naturally with age, chronic stress, illness, and environmental toxins.
When delivered directly into the bloodstream via IV infusion, NAD⁺ bypasses the digestive system entirely — maximizing bioavailability and delivering the molecule precisely where your cells need it most. Sessions typically run 2 to 4 hours and are administered by our clinical team in a calm, supportive environment.
Supporting your body's NAD⁺ levels has been shown to boost this key energy molecule by up to 60%, helping your cells produce energy more efficiently and support overall health. (i)

“The fascinating thing about NAD is that the molecule is essential to life, as it plays critical roles in all cellular processes. It holds a key position in both energy metabolism and the regulation of vital functions.”
Psychedelic medicine has been used for centuries to promote emotional healing and self-discovery.
Cellular energy and stamina
NAD⁺ is a key driver of ATP production — your cells' primary fuel source. Restoring NAD⁺ levels supports mitochondrial function, reduces burnout, and helps you feel more energized throughout the day.
Mental clarity and cognitive function
By supporting the detox and repair of neurons, NAD⁺ therapy can sharpen focus, improve memory, and reduce the brain fog that makes it hard to think clearly and perform at your best.
Mood and nervous system balance
NAD⁺ plays a role in neurotransmitter regulation — including serotonin and dopamine — which can help reduce anxiety, support emotional steadiness, and improve overall mood.
Addiction recovery support
NAD⁺ IV therapy is used as part of structured recovery programs to support detoxification from alcohol and opioids, help repair the brain's reward pathways, and reduce cravings over time.
Healthy aging and longevity
NAD⁺ activates sirtuins — proteins associated with cellular resilience and longevity — while supporting DNA repair and cellular regeneration to slow the effects of biological aging.
Inflammation and immune support
By modulating systemic inflammation, NAD⁺ therapy may benefit those managing autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, or inflammatory responses that affect daily quality of life.
