What NAD+ actually does

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It helps convert food into usable energy and plays a part in repairing damaged DNA. Levels decline naturally with age, and faster with poor sleep, alcohol and chronic stress.

Infusions deliver NAD+ directly into the bloodstream. Clients most often report steadier energy and clearer thinking in the days that follow, although individual responses vary.

Who it is for

We tend to recommend NAD+ for clients in demanding seasons of life: long-haul travel, intense training blocks or recovery from burnout. It is not a substitute for the fundamentals, and we will always talk about sleep, nutrition and movement first.

We usually recommend NAD+ for clients going through a demanding stretch: long-haul travel, intense training or recovery from burnout. We will still talk about sleep, nutrition and exercise first, because an infusion can’t make up for those.

A first infusion takes around 90 minutes. You can read, work or rest in one of our private suites, and a registered nurse stays with you throughout.

A note from our clinicians

Journal articles are general information, not medical advice. We will always recommend treatment after meeting you in person.
