NAD+ (Cellular Renewal) in Albuquerque, NM
Intravenous NAD+ for Cellular Energy and Long-Term Vitality
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It is vital for mitochondrial energy production and for activating the sirtuin and PARP enzymes that drive DNA repair and cellular maintenance. Levels decline naturally with age, illness, and chronic stress. Enhanced Wellness NM offers NAD+ IV therapy in Albuquerque, NM, with dosing and pacing set by your provider based on your goals and your tolerance to the infusion.
What Is NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ IV therapy delivers this coenzyme directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the absorption limits of oral supplementation. Research on this treatment delivery is still developing: some studies suggest that precursor-based options, such as Niagen®, may raise levels more efficiently for certain patients, since NAD+ itself does not cross cell membranes as readily as its precursors. Direct IV delivery remains a widely used option for patients who want a comprehensive intravenous approach, and your provider can help you decide whether IV, Niagen®, or another format best fits your goals.
What Are the Benefits of NAD+ Therapy?
- Replenishes a coenzyme your mitochondria rely on for cellular energy production
- Supports the sirtuin- and PARP-driven DNA repair and cellular maintenance pathways that decline with age
- Delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream for patients who prefer a comprehensive IV approach
- Dosed and paced to your individual tolerance, since infusion speed affects comfort
- Fits within a broader functional medicine or longevity-focused plan
Who Is This Treatment For?
Patients interested in cellular energy and long-term vitality support as part of a broader wellness plan
Patients who prefer direct IV delivery over an oral, patch, or subcutaneous approach
Patients already working with Dr. Jay who want NAD+ incorporated into a broader plan
Patients weighing NAD+ IV against Niagen® or NAD+ patches and want a provider to walk through the differences
Health History and Goal Review
Your provider assesses your health history and goals to confirm NAD+ IV is an appropriate fit and to set the pace of your infusion.
IV Placement
A small catheter is placed in the arm. Most patients notice only a brief pinch.
Controlled Infusion
NAD+ is delivered slowly and observed throughout. Because faster delivery is linked to more discomfort, including flushing, cramping, or nausea, appointments are paced for comfort and can run longer than other IV therapies.
Rest and Follow-Up
You’re observed briefly after the infusion before you leave. Your provider discusses whether a series or maintenance schedule fits your broader plan.
Why Choose Enhanced Wellness NM?
Comfort-Focused Pacing
Your infusion is administered slowly and monitored to help minimize the discomfort some patients experience.
Clearly Distinguished From Our Other IV Options
NAD+ IV delivers the coenzyme directly, distinct from Niagen®, which supplies a precursor, and from our other IV nutrition therapies. Your provider will explain how each fits your goals.
Dr. Jay's Clinical Oversight
With more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Jay and our clinical team determine whether NAD+ IV fits your broader plan based on your history and goals.
Part of a Connected Plan
NAD+ IV is considered alongside your other functional medicine and IV nutrition therapies rather than as a standalone treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does NAD+ do, and why does it decline with age?
NAD+ is a coenzyme every cell uses for energy production and DNA repair. Levels decline with age, illness, and chronic stress, which is why some patients pursue NAD+ support as part of a longevity-focused plan.
Is NAD+ IV the same as Niagen®?
No. NAD+ IV delivers the coenzyme directly, while Niagen® supplies nicotinamide riboside, a precursor your cells use to build their own NAD+. Your provider can walk you through which approach fits your goals.
What does a session feel like?
Some patients experience flushing, mild cramping, or a warm sensation during the infusion, particularly if the dose is increased quickly. Your provider paces the infusion to keep the session as comfortable as possible.
How often should I schedule sessions?
How often you return depends on your goals and how your body responds. Your provider will recommend a schedule, whether a series of sessions or ongoing maintenance, based on your individual case.
Are there any risks or contraindications?
NAD+ IV is generally well tolerated when administered appropriately, though nausea, cramping, headache, or chest discomfort can occur, especially at higher doses. Your provider reviews your health history, including any cardiovascular conditions or cancer history, before your first session to confirm candidacy.
How much does NAD+ therapy cost?
Pricing depends on your dose and whether it’s combined with other therapies. Our team can provide current pricing during your consultation.
