NAD+ Therapy FAQs

Instructions: Review these FAQs for medical accuracy and add to your main FAQ page or NAD+ service page.

What is NAD+?

What is NAD+ therapy?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) therapy is an intravenous or intramuscular injection that delivers NAD+ directly into your bloodstream. NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body that plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular health.

As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which can contribute to fatigue, cognitive decline, and slower recovery. NAD+ IV therapy replenishes these levels directly, bypassing the digestive system for maximum absorption and immediate cellular benefit.

NAD+ is essential for hundreds of metabolic processes in your body, including:

Energy Production:

  • Powers mitochondria (your cells’ energy factories)
  • Converts food into usable cellular energy (ATP)
  • Reduces fatigue and increases stamina

Brain Function:

  • Supports neurotransmitter production
  • Protects brain cells from damage
  • Enhances mental clarity and focus

DNA Repair:

  • Activates enzymes that repair damaged DNA
  • Protects against cellular aging
  • Supports healthy cell function

Anti-Aging:

  • Activates sirtuins (longevity genes)
  • Reduces oxidative stress
  • Supports cellular regeneration

NAD+ IV therapy is used for both therapeutic and wellness purposes:

Common Uses:

  • Chronic fatigue and low energy
  • Brain fog and cognitive decline
  • Anti-aging and longevity optimization
  • Athletic performance and recovery

  • Neurodegenerative disease support
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Metabolic disorders
  • Post-illness recovery (COVID, Lyme, chronic infections)

Wellness Applications:

  • Preventive health and longevity
  • Enhanced mental performance
  • Improved physical performance
  • Better sleep quality
  • Mood optimization

NAD+ Treatment Details

How is NAD+ therapy administered?

NAD+ is administered as a slow IV infusion, typically taking 2-4 hours depending on the dosage.

Why so slow? NAD+ must be infused slowly to prevent side effects like nausea, cramping, flushing or chest tightness. The infusion rate is adjusted based on your comfort level.

What to expect:

  1. Virtual consultation with nurse practitioner
  2. Nurse arrives at your location with all equipment
  3. IV is started in a comfortable vein
  4. Infusion runs over 2-4 hours
  5. You can work, read, watch TV, or rest during treatment
  6. Nurse monitors you throughout

NAD+ infusions typically take 2-4 hours, depending on the dose:

250mg NAD+: 2-2.5 hours and  500mg NAD+: 3-4 hours 

The slower the infusion, the more comfortable you’ll be. Infusing too quickly can cause temporary discomfort.

Most people tolerate NAD+ infusions well, but some experience temporary side effects during the infusion:

Common sensations:

  • Mild abdominal cramping or pressure
  • Chest tightness (feels like pressure, not pain)
  • Flushing or warmth
  • Nausea (usually mild)
  • Headache

These side effects:

  • Are temporary and occur only during infusion
  • Stop when the infusion is slowed or paused
  • Resolve completely when infusion ends
  • Can be minimized by slowing the drip rate

After the infusion: Most people feel energized, clear-headed, and experience no lingering side effects.

Yes, NAD+ IV therapy is safe when administered by licensed healthcare professionals.

Safety considerations:

  • NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule in your body
  • IV NAD+ has been used clinically for decades
  • Side effects are temporary and manageable
  • Licensed nurse practitioner prescribes appropriate dose
  • Experienced nurse monitors throughout treatment

Who should avoid NAD+:

  • The only contraindication is cancer.

Your nurse practitioner will review your medical history to ensure NAD+ therapy is safe for you.

Weight Loss

What are Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs)?

GLP-1 RAs are medications that have been approved for managing blood sugar levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. These medications work by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that stimulates insulin secretion, slows digestion, and suppresses appetite. In addition to their blood sugar management benefits, GLP-1 RAs have become increasingly popular due to their ability to promote weight loss. 

GLP-1 RAs are usually administered by injection under the skin. They can be self-administered using a pen device or a syringe, and are typically taken once a week.

GLP-1 RAs have been shown to be effective in lowering blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, promoting weight loss, and improving overall glycemic control. GLP-1 RAs have been shown to be effective in lowering blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, promoting weight loss, and improving overall glycemic control.

GLP-1 RAs are generally recommended for people with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved optimal blood sugar control with other medications. They may be particularly beneficial for people who are overweight or obese, as they can help with weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity. However, GLP-1 RAs are not recommended for people type 1 diabetes, or those with a history of pancreatitis.

Contraindications for GLP-1 RAs are medical conditions or situations that make the use of these medications unsafe or not recommended. They include type 1 diabetes, personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, severe gastrointestinal disease, pancreatitis, and pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Setting achievable goals, tracking progress, and rewarding yourself along the way can help you stay motivated. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community or seeking the help of a professional, such as a registered dietitian or personal trainer, can also be helpful.

Urgent Care

What is virtual urgent care, and how does it work?

Virtual urgent care is a service that allows patients to receive medical consultation remotely via video conferencing or phone call with a nurse practitioner or PA. During the consultation, the healthcare provider will ask about the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and medication usage, and may request the patient to take certain measurements like blood pressure, temperature, or heart rate. Following the consultation, the healthcare provider will diagnose the patient’s condition and recommend a treatment plan, which may include prescribing medication, ordering further tests, or referring the patient to a specialist or an in-person healthcare facility.

Yes, EliteCare IV also offers medication refill services through virtual urgent care appointments. If you forget your medication while on vacation or run out while out of town, you can book a virtual urgent care appointment for medication refill, and our healthcare providers will evaluate your needs and make appropriate recommendations.

EliteCare IV offers testing for Influenza, Covid, Strep, and urinary tract infections, as well as administering steroid shots, non-narcotic pain medication like Toradol, anti-nausea medication, Benadryl, and Pepcid. If necessary, our healthcare provider can call in appropriate medications like antibiotics or cough medication to your local pharmacy.

It is important to remember that virtual and mobile urgent care visits may not be suitable for all medical concerns, and patients should seek emergency medical care immediately if they are experiencing serious or life-threatening symptoms.

Virtual urgent care is particularly helpful for minor health concerns such as allergies, colds, diarrhea, flu, sinus infections, sinus pain, sore throat, and urinary tract infections.

A mobile urgent care appointment is a service that allows patients to receive medical consultation and treatment in the comfort of their own home, office, or any other location. Our mobile urgent care services are provided by a team of nurses and nurse practitioners who bring all the necessary medical equipment, tests, medications, and supplies to the patient’s location. To schedule a mobile urgent care appointment, you can book a visit through our online booking site. Once booked, you will have a consultation with a nurse practitioner, and a nurse will then come to your location to perform a physical examination and administer any tests and medications ordered by the healthcare provider.

Mobile urgent care appointments are ideal for patients who are unable to travel to a healthcare facility due to mobility issues, transportation problems, or require immediate medical attention outside of traditional office hours.
