NAD+ Infusion Therapy
Cellular energy, supported directly.
Weekly NAD+ infusion protocols for cellular energy, mitochondrial function, recovery, and healthy aging—administered in a supervised clinical setting.
- Increased energy
- Mental clarity
- Faster recovery
- Cellular repair
NAD+ runs your cells' energy production and DNA repair. Levels drop with age, and oral supplements don't reliably survive digestion.

Who this is for
Patients seeking support for energy, cognitive clarity, recovery from illness or intense training, metabolic health, and longevity. Also frequently used as part of broader longevity programs and alongside peptide therapy.

Protocol Options
4-Week Protocol
One infusion per week; introductory reset; good for assessing response
8-Week Protocol
Sustained weekly infusions; for ongoing energy, recovery, cognitive support, and metabolic optimization
12-Week Protocol
Most comprehensive weekly structure; deepest longevity and performance goals; transitions into maintenance schedule post-protocol
Medications
Medicine moves quickly, and so do the rules that govern it. Dr. Wasserman tracks both closely. Everything listed here is a treatment he can currently, legally prescribe and administer—nothing is offered on the strength of hype or promise alone.
How it’s administered
Treatment is administered by IV, in the form of a 2-hour or 4-hour infusion session. Four, eight, and twelve-week cycles are available.
What to expect

Most patients notice clarity or energy the same day. Some feel it during the infusion; others the following morning. A few feel nothing until session two or three.
No downtime. You can drive yourself home and return to normal activity immediately.
Board certified. Personally involved in your care.
Dr. Wasserman holds dual board certification in Emergency Medicine and Obesity Medicine — one of a limited number of physicians in the country to hold both. His approach to weight and metabolic health is rooted in understanding the mechanisms driving your specific challenges and addressing them at the source.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAD+ infusion therapy, and how does it work?
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a critical role in cellular energy production (ATP), DNA repair, regulating inflammation, and maintaining brain function. Because natural NAD+ levels decline significantly as we age—or due to stress, illness, and lifestyle factors—infusion therapy delivers pure NAD+ directly into your bloodstream via an IV drip. This bypasses the digestive system for 100% absorption, helping replenish cellular energy, improve mental clarity, and support overall health span.
What are the main benefits of receiving NAD+ intravenously?
Patients typically seek NAD+ IV therapy to support:
Energy & Cellular Renewal: Reduces chronic fatigue and supports mitochondrial function.
Cognitive Enhancement: Boosts mental clarity, focus, and memory while reducing "brain fog."
Healthy Aging & DNA Repair: Activates longevity proteins (sirtuins) that support cellular repair and resilience.
Athletic Performance & Recovery: Speeds up muscle recovery and lowers systemic inflammation.
How long does a typical session take, and why is it infused slowly?
An NAD+ IV session usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours (and up to 4 hours for high doses or first-time patients). Unlike standard hydration IVs, NAD+ must be infused slowly. If administered too quickly, it can cause temporary physiological sensations such as mild chest tightness, light nausea, flushing, or abdominal cramping. Administering the drip at a slow, controlled rate keeps the session comfortable and easily tolerated.
What side effects should I expect during or after an infusion?
Side effects during the session are generally temporary and subside immediately if the IV drip rate is adjusted or slowed down:
During the session: Mild flushing, a warming sensation, chest tightness/heaviness, lightheadedness, or mild stomach cramping.
After the session: Most patients report feeling refreshed, clear-headed, and energized. Some may experience temporary, mild fatigue or a light headache as the body processes the dose.
How often should I get NAD+ IV therapy?
Treatment protocols depend on your individual goals and provider recommendations:
Loading Phase: Many protocols begin with 4 to 6 sessions over a 2- to 3-week window to saturate cellular levels and establish a strong baseline.
Maintenance Phase: Once baseline levels are restored, patients typically transition to maintenance sessions once every 2 to 4 weeks (or quarterly) depending on their energy, lifestyle, and health needs.
Is NAD+ therapy covered by insurance, and do I need a consultation first?
No, NAD+ IV therapy is considered an elective wellness treatment and is not covered by health insurance. However, many practices accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) depending on plan eligibility. Because it involves high-potency intravenous compounds, a brief medical consultation and health history evaluation with a clinical provider is required prior to your first session to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
