NAD+ IV, described accurately
NAD+ is a coenzyme your cells use to produce energy. This is an intravenous programme for replacing it — offered for condition management, and not as a treatment for any disease.
NAD+ IV therapy delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide intravenously. NAD+ in the body has been reported to decline with age (Massudi et al., PLoS ONE, 2012), which is the basis for interest in supplementation in the wellness field. This is a condition-management option, not an approved treatment for any specific condition, and individual response varies.
What NAD+ is, and what this is not
NAD+ — nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — is a coenzyme involved in the process by which cells generate energy. Levels in the body have been reported to decline with age (Massudi et al., PLoS ONE, 2012), and to be affected by accumulated fatigue and stress. That reported decline is the basis on which supplementation has attracted attention in the international wellness field.
What follows is the part that matters and that is often omitted elsewhere: this is not an approved treatment for any specific disease. It is offered as an option for managing general condition. How it is experienced varies considerably between individuals, and anyone describing it as a treatment for a diagnosed condition is describing something other than what this is.
If you have symptoms that concern you, the appropriate step is diagnosis, not a drip.
Three ways it is used here
| Programme | Composition | Typical context |
|---|---|---|
| NAD+ Recovery | NAD+ alone | Focused on replacement, supporting general recovery from fatigue |
| Custom blend | NAD+ with glutathione, antioxidants or vitamins | Designed alongside other intravenous components according to your purpose |
| Peri-procedure care | Timed around other treatment | Recovery support before or after lifting, laser and similar procedures |
What the appointment involves
Consultation
One-to-one review of your condition — fatigue, sleep, medications you take, and previous procedures.
Planning
Dose, interval and whether any components are combined, set according to your purpose.
Infusion
Delivered intravenously at a controlled, deliberately slow rate. No anaesthesia is needed.
Aftercare
Post-infusion guidance, including avoiding alcohol on the day.
Expect approximately 30 to 60 minutes depending on the dose. The slow rate is not padding: NAD+ infused rapidly can produce transient nausea, flushing and headache, and controlling the rate is how that is minimised. If you feel uncomfortable during the infusion, say so — the rate can be adjusted.
Side effects and who should not have it
Transient nausea, flushing and headache can occur, particularly if the infusion runs quickly. Pain and bruising at the injection site are possible, and — uncommonly — allergic reaction.
Tell the clinic in advance if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have any underlying medical condition, or if you are taking any medication. Avoid alcohol on the day of the infusion.
There is no fixed number of sessions. Some patients have a single infusion around a specific event; others plan a periodic schedule, for instance at one-to-two-week intervals. Which is appropriate depends on your purpose and is decided at consultation rather than sold as a package.
Frequently asked questions
The active component is different. A standard vitamin drip delivers vitamins and minerals; this delivers NAD+, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, and is administered more slowly for that reason. It can also be combined with other components — glutathione, antioxidants, vitamins — where that suits your purpose. Whether the difference in composition is meaningful for you specifically is a question for the consultation.
Levels of NAD+ in the body have been reported to decline with age (Massudi et al., PLoS ONE, 2012), and this reported decline is the basis for the interest in supplementation seen in the international wellness field. That is the extent of what can honestly be claimed here: it is a rationale for interest, not evidence that infusion treats a condition. It is offered for condition management, and individual response varies.
Response varies considerably between individuals, and this page will not promise you a result. What can be said is that this is a condition-management option rather than an approved treatment for any specific condition, and it should be considered on that basis. If you are experiencing fatigue that is persistent or unexplained, the more useful step is a medical assessment to identify why — not a drip that assumes the answer.
The needle placement is comparable to any intravenous line and no anaesthesia is needed. NAD+ specifically can cause transient nausea, flushing or headache if infused too quickly, which is why the rate is deliberately controlled and kept slow. If you feel uncomfortable during the infusion, tell the staff — the rate can be adjusted, and that is the standard way of managing it.
There is no fixed number. Some patients have a single infusion ahead of a specific event or after travel; others plan a periodic schedule at intervals such as one to two weeks. What suits you depends on your purpose and your condition, and it is planned at consultation rather than sold as a fixed course.
It is offered specifically in that context — as recovery support timed around lifting, laser and similar procedures. Whether it is appropriate on the same day as a particular treatment depends on what that treatment is and how your body is responding, so it is planned rather than assumed. Both DIESTA locations offer NAD+ IV therapy.
