Niagen®
Pharmaceutical-Grade NAD+ Precursor Therapy for Cellular Energy and Healthy Aging
Niagen® is the patented form of nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3 that your body converts into NAD+, the coenzyme every cell relies on for energy production, mitochondrial function, and DNA repair. Enhanced Wellness NM offers this as a pharmaceutical-grade IV or injectable therapy, distinct from our NAD+ patches or subcutaneous injections, for patients focused on cellular energy and healthy aging as part of a broader functional medicine plan.
What Is Niagen®?
It is a specific, patented form of nicotinamide riboside, an NAD+ precursor that supplies the raw building block your cells use to manufacture their own coenzyme, rather than providing NAD+ itself. NAD+ levels decline naturally with age, affecting how efficiently your cells produce energy and repair DNA. The pharmaceutical-grade version used for IV and injectable administration is compounded at FDA-registered facilities and available only through a clinical prescription, distinct from the over-the-counter oral supplement version of the same ingredient.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Niagen® and a NAD+ patches or subcutaneous injections?
Niagen supplies nicotinamide riboside, a building block your cells use to produce NAD+. NAD+ patches and subcutaneous injections use NAD+ itself. Your provider can explain the differences and determine which option fits your goals.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Individual response varies. Some patients report feeling more energized within the days following a session, though NAD+ support is generally considered part of an ongoing plan rather than a one-time effect.
How often should I schedule Niagen® sessions?
How often you return depends on your goals and how your body responds. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your individual case.
Are there any risks or contraindications?
It is generally well tolerated in the clinical research conducted to date. Your provider reviews your health history, current medications, and any relevant conditions before your first session to confirm candidacy.
