What Is NAD+ and How Does an IV NAD+ Drip Work?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body. It sits at the center of how cells make and use energy — it helps your mitochondria turn food into the fuel (ATP) that keeps you going — and it plays a role in DNA repair and the everyday signaling that keeps cells working the way they should. The catch is that NAD+ levels naturally fall as we age, and stress, illness, and a hard-living lifestyle can pull them down further.
A high-dose IV NAD+ drip delivers NAD+ straight into your bloodstream, which sidesteps the gut and lets your body take up far more of it than a capsule or a shot generally allows. Because it is infused slowly for comfort, the goal is steady, well-tolerated delivery rather than a quick push. At iVitality MD this is given as physician-supervised IV therapy, often as part of a wider energy or recovery plan rather than a one-off.
What People Use NAD+ IV Therapy For
Patients usually come to NAD+ looking for support with:
- Low energy and fatigue — that run-down feeling that does not lift with rest, often paired with our IV energy support.
- Mental clarity and focus — brain fog, sluggish thinking, and the cognitive side of burnout.
- Recovery and resilience — bouncing back after illness, heavy training, or a stretch of high stress, including as part of our burnout recovery program.
- Healthy-aging support — people focused on long-term cellular health and vitality, sometimes alongside the SuperHuman Protocol.
NAD+ therapy is supportive wellness care, not a cure for any disease, and Dr. Bismah Irfan will be straight with you about what it is likely to do for your situation. It tends to work best as one piece of a plan built around your goals.
What to Expect During a NAD+ IV Session
Your first visit starts with a consultation so Dr. Irfan can review your history, energy levels, and goals before anything is infused. The drip itself is given slowly and steadily — NAD+ is more comfortable that way, and going too fast can bring on short-lived flushing, nausea, or a tight feeling in the chest, which eases the moment we slow the drip down. You relax in a chair throughout, and most people read, work, or rest. Because the infusion is gentle and paced to you, session length varies; our team will walk you through the timing and what to plan for when you book.
How Often Should You Get NAD+ IV Therapy?
There is no single schedule that fits everyone. Some people start with a short series of sessions close together to build things up, then move to occasional maintenance; others come in periodically to stay topped up. Where you start depends on your goals and how you respond, and Dr. Irfan sets and adjusts the plan with you rather than handing you a fixed package. If you would like specifics on dosing, packages, and current pricing, just ask when you book and our team will go through the options with you.

NAD+ IV Therapy in Houston – Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAD+ IV therapy?
NAD+ IV therapy delivers NAD+ — a coenzyme your cells use for energy production, DNA repair, and healthy cellular function — directly into your bloodstream through a slow, comfortable drip. People use it to support energy, mental clarity, recovery, and healthy aging. At iVitality MD it is given as physician-supervised IV therapy.
What does NAD+ IV therapy help with?

How long does a NAD+ IV session take?
NAD+ is infused slowly and paced to keep you comfortable, so session length varies from person to person. Going too fast can cause short-lived flushing or nausea, so we take our time. Our team will walk you through the timing for your plan when you book.

Does NAD+ IV therapy have side effects, and is it safe?
For most people it is well tolerated when infused slowly.
