What is NAD+ IV Therapy?
Definition and how it works
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme present in every cell, vital for energy production (ATP), DNA repair, and sirtuin regulation. NAD+ IV therapy delivers this coenzyme directly into the bloodstream, achieving plasma levels impossible to reach with oral supplementation. NAD+ levels decline by up to 50% between the ages of 40 and 60 — a process directly linked to ageing.
Origin and history
NAD+ was discovered by Harden and Young in 1906. Its central role in longevity was revealed by research at MIT and Harvard between 2013 and 2020, sparking a global boom in longevity clinics.
Benefits of NAD+ IV Therapy
Noticeable increase in energy and mental clarity
Activation of sirtuins (longevity enzymes SIRT1–SIRT7)
Accelerated DNA repair and reduced oxidative damage
Improved cognitive function and neuroprotection
Support for detoxification and craving reduction
Enhanced insulin sensitivity and metabolic function
NAD+ IV Therapy protocol step by step
Baseline blood work
Plasma NAD+ measurement, liver and kidney function tests before starting.
Venous access
Peripheral IV cannulation. Drip started at a low rate (10 mg/min).
Progressive infusion
Dose of 250–1,000 mg over 1.5–4 hours. Rate adjusted based on tolerance.
Monitoring
Heart rate, blood pressure and symptom checks. Medical staff present throughout.
Post-infusion
Oral hydration. Energy and cognitive effects logged over the following 24–48 hours.

The science behind NAD+ IV Therapy
Scientific evidence summary
Research at Harvard University (Dr. David Sinclair's lab) shows that restoring NAD+ levels activates sirtuins and the mTOR pathway, reversing epigenetic ageing markers in animal models. Clinical trials in humans (Washington University, 2018) confirm improvements in insulin resistance and muscle function with NAD+ precursor infusions. IV bioavailability is 6–10 times higher than oral.
Key published studies
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide boosts insulin sensitivity in human study
Cell Metabolism · 2018
NAD+ precursor supplementation improved insulin sensitivity and muscle function in older adults.
NAD+ repletion improves muscle function and delayed the progression of aging
Science · 2013
Restoring NAD+ levels in mice reversed muscle ageing markers equivalent to 20 years of human ageing.
