What is a NAD+ infusion?
A NAD+ infusion is an intravenous (IV) therapy that delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream. NAD+ plays a critical role in converting nutrients into usable energy within the mitochondria, often described as the "powerhouses" of the cell. It also acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in maintaining cellular health, regulating metabolism and supporting the body's response to oxidative stress.
NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and can also be affected by illness, chronic stress and certain lifestyle factors. NAD+ infusions are commonly offered in wellness and integrative medicine settings to support energy metabolism, mental clarity, recovery and overall well-being. They have also been investigated as an adjunctive therapy in selected medical conditions, including substance use recovery and certain neurological disorders.
It is important to be honest about the evidence. Scientific support for many of the proposed wellness and anti-ageing benefits of NAD+ remains limited, and further high-quality clinical research is needed to establish its effectiveness and long-term safety.
Cognitive function
Mental clarity, concentration and reduced "brain fog"
Cellular metabolism
Support for mitochondrial function, cellular energy production and DNA repair pathways
Individual responses vary, and we will always set honest expectations before you start.
Who may need this drip?
A NAD+ infusion may be considered for:
Once common medical causes have been ruled out, such as anaemia, thyroid disorders, vitamin B12 or iron deficiency, sleep disorders (for example sleep apnoea), depression or anxiety, diabetes and chronic infections
Reduced energy, slower recovery after exercise, mild "brain fog" or a general decline in well-being
Obesity, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Also
- Individuals with neurodegenerative conditions: Who may benefit, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis or motor neurone disease (ALS)
- People in recovery from substance use disorders: Some addiction programmes use NAD+ infusions during recovery from alcohol, opioid or stimulant use
- Athletes and active individuals: For recovery after intense training, reduced fatigue and improved endurance
Where fatigue is the main concern, the right first step is a proper assessment to rule out treatable causes, rather than starting with a drip.
Before your infusion
Blood tests before your infusion
Unlike iron or vitamin B12 therapy, there is no laboratory test that measures who "needs" a NAD+ infusion in routine clinical practice. Instead, baseline testing is used to identify any underlying conditions and to make sure the infusion is safe for you. Depending on your history, a clinician may consider:
- Complete blood count (CBC): to screen for anaemia or infection
- Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP): kidney and liver function, and electrolytes
- Kidney function: creatinine and eGFR
- Liver function tests: AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin
- Fasting glucose or HbA1c: to evaluate glucose metabolism
- Lipid profile: for cardiovascular risk
- Thyroid function (TSH, with Free T4 if needed): to assess causes of fatigue
- Vitamin B12 and folate: to identify deficiency
- Ferritin and iron studies: to evaluate iron status
- Vitamin D and magnesium: to check baseline levels
- Pregnancy test: when appropriate
Optional tests, depending on your symptoms, may include high-sensitivity CRP (inflammation), vitamin B1 (thiamine) and hormone testing (only when clinically indicated).

Book online →Risks and considerations
NAD+ infusions are generally well tolerated, but they can cause side effects. Common ones include warm flushing, chest tightness, nausea, abdominal discomfort, headache, fatigue during the infusion, lightheadedness and muscle cramps. These symptoms often improve when the infusion rate is slowed, which is why we give NAD+ slowly and adjust the pace to how you feel.
Less common effects include anxiety, palpitations, dizziness, vomiting, vein irritation (phlebitis) and injection-site pain. Rare but serious risks include allergic reactions, electrolyte disturbances, fainting and changes in heart rhythm. This is why the infusion is supervised throughout.
Our approach at Dr. Torun's Clinic
We take a doctor-led, assessment-first approach. Before any NAD+ drip, we review your history and goals, arrange any bloods that are appropriate, and give the infusion slowly and comfortably under supervision.

NAD+ FAQs.
What is a NAD+ infusion?
A NAD+ infusion delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme found in every living cell, directly into the bloodstream. NAD+ is essential for cellular energy production, DNA repair and normal cellular function, working largely inside the mitochondria. At Dr. Torun's Clinic it is given slowly under medical supervision.
Why is a NAD+ drip given slowly?
Given too quickly, NAD+ commonly causes warm flushing, chest tightness, nausea, abdominal discomfort and lightheadedness. These effects are uncomfortable rather than dangerous, and usually settle as soon as the rate is slowed. To keep you comfortable we run the infusion slowly and adjust the pace to how you feel, so it takes longer than a standard drip. Plan for a longer appointment.
What does NAD+ do in the body?
NAD+ helps convert nutrients into usable energy inside the mitochondria, often called the powerhouses of the cell, and acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in metabolism, cellular health and the response to oxidative stress. Levels naturally decline with age and can be affected by illness, stress and lifestyle.
Is IV NAD+ safe?
NAD+ infusions are generally well tolerated when given slowly under supervision. The most common effects, such as flushing, chest tightness, nausea, lightheadedness and muscle cramps, are linked to infusing too fast and settle when the rate is reduced. Rare but serious risks include allergic reactions, electrolyte disturbances, fainting and heart rhythm changes, so we assess each patient and monitor throughout.
Will a NAD+ drip give me more energy?
Many people report improved energy, focus and recovery, but responses vary and the wellness evidence is still limited. If ongoing fatigue is your main concern, the right first step is a proper assessment to rule out treatable causes such as anaemia, thyroid problems, low B12 or iron, or poor sleep, rather than starting with a drip.
