NAD Information

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is a form of Vitamin B3 (Niacin). This coenzyme is found in the mitochondria of all living cells. This coenzyme is heavily involved in DNA repair and cellular remodeling. It has been known to “turn off” those genes that accelerate degenerative aging and is essential for maintaining neurotransmitter levels for the proper functioning of the brain. 

It is key in cellular metabolism. As we age, our NAD levels decrease making us less able to repair cellular damage. We begin to lose energy, appear older and have decreased brain function. 

NAD+ plays a significant role in anti-aging. With NAD+ IV therapy and the NAD+ IM and SUBQ Shots, the molecule works rapidly to repair cells throughout the body and neurons in the brain. 

It serves as a catalyst in ultimate brain restoration which assists in overcoming depression, anxiety, and common mood disorders. 

Restoring and supplementing NAD+ in the body may improve physical appearance, health, and quality of life.

Supplementation of NAD+ can:
● increase energy levels
● enhance mood & mental clarity
● reverse the visible effects of aging
● reduce fatigue
● restore muscle function and athletic performance
● restore brain chemistry and neurotransmitter function
● curve addiction cravings from alcohol and drug use
● prevent & correct damage to DNA
● regulate inflammation that damages DNA
● improve physical appearance, health, and quality of life

The NAD+ IV is administered in an IV and infused over a slow drip rate for 2-4 hours for first-time
patients. Many patients take less than 4 hours, especially for subsequent infusions.

The NAD IM is an intramuscular shot that patients can get in their delt muscle.

-This is a nine-session program in which the regimen is 250mg IV infusion once per week, to be
administered within a twelve-week period.
– Depending on the individual’s sensitivity, the infusion can take between 1- 4 hrs.

– This is an eight-session program in which the regimen is 50-60mg injection, up to three times per week to be administered within a four-week period.

Best results were seen when THE WELLNESS FORMULA IV and GLUTATHIONE were given on alternate days from NAD+ infusions.

The initial drip can take up to 4 hours. If a person has had multiple treatments before and can tolerate the drip at a faster rate it can be increased at the provider’s discretion.

Side effects such as chest pressure, anxiety and nausea that are normally experienced with the NAD+ infusion are directly related to the speed of infusion itself. By getting NAD+ at a slow infusion rate side effects are minimized.

1. Schedule an appointment with me to ensure you have adequate time available for the drip. The recommended time is 2-3 hours for your first visit.

2. Meet with our provider to go over your health history to ensure you are a candidate to receive NAD+ IV therapy. This is done through a virtual consult.

3. Your IV will be started and you can relax in the comfort of your home for the duration of the drip. 

4. Side effects, if any, are infusion rate dependent during the time of the infusion

● Allergy to Vitamin B3 or Niacin
● Patients with a history of any form of cancer
Due to the direct action on the mitochondria
● Patients on dopamine agonists such as,
pramipexole (Mirapex), ropinirole (Requip), apomorphine (Apokyn), Rotigotine (Neupro)
● NAD has been known to increase Dopamine levels
● Dopamine agonists which are used for Parkinson’s, depression and fibromyalgia patients 

Most side effects are directly related to the speed at which the IV is infused at the time of the infusion. They can be relieved by slowing down the infusion. Side effects lessen with subsequent infusions.

● Headache or fullness/pressure in the head
● Chest tightness
● Anxiety feeling
● Severe nausea/abdominal cramping

● mental clarity
● energized
● motivated
● improved sleep
● addiction cravings subside

some individuals may feel the opposite especially if they have chronic diseases or illnesses. 

 ● sleepiness due to “detoxification” process and the body’s need to recover and heal

● Yes. NAD+ is safe. All treatments are created by board-certified physicians and administered by
providers and IV Specialists at The Well Being-Visit.
● There are no universally established NAD+ protocols currently.
● The administration of higher dosages is reserved typically for cases involving addiction
management, with no substantiated clinical justification for higher dosages in other contexts.
● To ensure safety and efficacy, The Well-Being Visit recommends not to exceed a maximum daily dosage of 1 gram.
● These recommendations constitute the extent of the guidelines known at this time.
