Longevity · Coenzyme (NAD+ IV therapy)

NAD+

One of the most-marketed "anti-aging" IVs on the market — and one where the honest evidence gap deserves more attention than the marketing gives it.

NAD+ is real, essential cellular biology. Whether IV NAD+ delivers the anti-aging and energy benefits it's marketed for is a separate, much less settled question. This page keeps those two things distinct.

At a glance

Drug class
Coenzyme (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide); administered via IV or IM injection
FDA status
Not FDA-approved for any therapeutic indication. Compounded/wellness product, not a reviewed drug
Brand names
None (compounded product, varies by clinic)
Discussed uses
"Anti-aging," energy, cognitive function, alcohol/opioid withdrawal support (most-studied use)
Route
Intravenous or intramuscular injection
Prescription/oversight
Prepared by compounding pharmacies; should be provider-supervised

What NAD+ is

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell in the body, central to how mitochondria produce energy and how cells repair DNA. NAD+ levels do decline with age — that part is well established cell biology. What's marketed as "NAD+ therapy" is an IV or IM infusion intended to restore those levels directly, bypassing the way the body normally regulates NAD+ production.

How it works (claimed)

The theory is straightforward: if NAD+ supports energy production and DNA repair, and levels decline with age, restoring them directly should improve energy, cognition, and cellular resilience. That's a coherent hypothesis. It is not the same as a demonstrated clinical effect from IV administration specifically.

What the evidence shows

This is one of the more significant evidence gaps on this page. As of 2026, there are no completed outcomes trials testing IV or IM NAD+ for anti-aging or general wellness indications — the popular use case has essentially no randomized controlled trial support. The strongest actual clinical evidence for IV NAD+ is in a narrower context: rapid reduction of acute alcohol and opioid withdrawal symptoms, and restoration of depleted cellular NAD+ in specific deficiency states. Oral NAD+ precursors (like NR and NMN) have a separate, moderately growing evidence base — but that's a different route of administration and a different question than IV therapy.

Side effects and who it's not for

IV NAD+ is generally reported as well-tolerated at appropriate infusion rates, though rapid infusion can cause flushing, chest tightness, or nausea — which is why infusion speed matters and why it should be administered under supervision, not self-directed. Because it's compounded rather than FDA-reviewed, purity and concentration can vary by pharmacy, which is another reason the sourcing pharmacy matters as much as the substance.

The Bioaminex standard for nad+

Before starting
Baseline labs + provider review of goals and expectations
Screening
Cardiovascular tolerance for infusion rate, current medications
Dosing
Provider-managed infusion rate and frequency
During therapy
Monitoring for infusion tolerance; honest reassessment of results against evidence

The bottom line

NAD+ biology is real; IV NAD+ as an anti-aging therapy is, honestly, ahead of the evidence that supports it. That doesn't mean it can't be offered — supervised, lab-informed, sourced from a real compounding pharmacy — but it does mean the marketing claims around it deserve more skepticism than most peptides on this page, and we'd rather say that plainly than oversell it.
