NAD therapy is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about wellness treatments in the world of regenerative medicine and functional healthcare. Whether delivered as an intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular injection, NAD therapy is showing promising results in energy enhancement, cellular repair, cognitive support, and even addiction recovery.
At Coronado Health Direct Primary Care in Henderson, Nevada, we are committed to offering our patients innovative treatments that go beyond symptom management and promote long-term vitality. That is why we are excited to soon introduce NAD injection therapy as part of our growing list of wellness services.
In this article, we’ll explore what NAD is, how it works, who it is best suited for, and why it may be a beneficial addition to your wellness or recovery plan.
What is NAD?
NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in every single cell in your body and plays a critical role in energy production, DNA repair, cellular function, and aging. Simply put, without NAD, your body wouldn’t be able to function.
NAD exists in two forms:
- NAD+ (the oxidized form)
- NADH (the reduced form)
These forms are responsible for transferring electrons in metabolic processes. One of NAD’s most important jobs is to fuel the mitochondria, which are the “powerhouses” of your cells. Mitochondria rely on NAD+ to convert the food you eat into usable energy (ATP).
As we age, NAD levels naturally decline, contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, decreased physical performance, and slower recovery. Lifestyle factors like poor diet, stress, alcohol use, and exposure to toxins can further deplete NAD.
This is where NAD therapy comes in. By replenishing NAD levels through IV or intramuscular delivery, patients can experience improved cellular health, enhanced energy, and a sharper mind.
What is NAD IV Therapy?
NAD IV therapy involves administering a carefully dosed solution of NAD+ directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. Because it bypasses the digestive system, IV therapy allows for 100 percent absorption, making it especially effective for those who need immediate results or higher doses.
A typical NAD IV session can last anywhere from 60 to 120 minutes depending on the dosage. The slow, controlled drip allows the body to absorb and utilize NAD efficiently without overwhelming the system.
Many patients report feeling mentally clearer, more energized, and more focused even after the first treatment. For best results, NAD IV is often administered in a series of treatments followed by maintenance sessions.
What are NAD Injections?
For patients who prefer a quicker option, NAD injections offer an alternative method of delivery. These are administered as intramuscular shots, usually in the arm or glute, and take only a few minutes to complete.
While NAD injections may not deliver the same volume as IV therapy, they are still highly effective for maintenance, energy support, and convenience. Many patients at Coronado Health choose injections as part of their weekly or monthly wellness routine.
Who Can Benefit from NAD Therapy?
NAD therapy is a versatile and powerful treatment that benefits a wide range of individuals. Here are some of the most common groups who may benefit from regular NAD IV or injections:
Individuals with Fatigue or Low Energy
If you constantly feel sluggish or tired despite getting enough sleep, you may be suffering from mitochondrial dysfunction or NAD depletion. NAD therapy can help restore optimal energy levels by boosting mitochondrial performance.
People with Brain Fog or Cognitive Decline
NAD plays a crucial role in neuroprotection and brain health. Patients experiencing mental fatigue, memory issues, or decreased focus often find NAD therapy helpful for improving clarity and concentration.
Athletes and Active Individuals
Whether you are a professional athlete or someone who enjoys staying fit, NAD can help you recover faster, reduce inflammation, and support muscle repair. It also helps maintain endurance and stamina.
Patients Battling Chronic Illness
Conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, and autoimmune disorders are often associated with cellular dysfunction and low NAD levels. NAD therapy may offer supportive benefits for symptom management and energy recovery.
People Going Through Detox or Addiction Recovery
NAD IV has gained recognition in the addiction treatment community for its ability to reduce withdrawal symptoms, improve mood, and restore neurological balance. It supports detoxification and may lessen the dependence on medications during recovery.
Those Interested in Anti-Aging and Longevity
NAD is essential for DNA repair and cellular regeneration. Regular therapy may slow down age-related degeneration, reduce oxidative stress, and promote overall longevity.
High-Stress Professionals or Entrepreneurs
If you’re constantly in overdrive and burning the candle at both ends, your NAD stores are likely being depleted faster than your body can replenish them. NAD therapy may help you bounce back faster and stay mentally sharp.
