NAD+ IV therapy has become one of the most talked-about treatments in wellness and longevity medicine, but it is not right for everyone and the evidence behind it is still developing. At The Wright Practice, we take an honest, personalised approach, helping you understand what NAD+ therapy can realistically offer before deciding whether it is right for you.
NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, where it plays a central role in converting food into energy and supporting the repair processes that keep cells functioning well. Levels of NAD+ naturally decline with age, which has led to growing interest in whether replacing it through IV infusion can support energy, recovery and overall wellbeing.
NAD+ IV therapy delivers the coenzyme directly into the bloodstream through a slow intravenous infusion, bypassing the digestive system entirely. The rationale is that infusing NAD+ directly raises levels more effectively than taking it, or its precursors, as an oral supplement. It’s worth being clear that while the biological role of NAD+ is well established, robust evidence for the specific benefits of IV infusion in healthy adults is still limited, and we are careful not to overstate what a session can achieve.
Patients tend to seek NAD+ IV therapy for a range of wellbeing goals, including:
Some patients report noticeable improvements in energy and mental clarity, though individual response varies and NAD+ therapy should not be seen as a substitute for addressing the underlying cause of persistent fatigue, which we will always assess first.
NAD+ IV therapy tends to suit adults in good general health who are looking for additional support for energy and recovery as part of a wider wellness plan. It may not be suitable for people with certain underlying medical conditions, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or anyone experiencing unexplained symptoms such as persistent headaches or neurological changes, since these warrant proper medical assessment first rather than an infusion. A thorough health review before your first session helps us confirm it is appropriate for you.
A typical NAD+ IV session takes place in a comfortable treatment room and usually lasts between two and four hours, depending on the dose and how your body responds. You will be seated throughout, with the infusion given slowly through a small cannula in your arm. Many patients notice a mild warming sensation as the infusion begins, which usually settles once the rate is adjusted. Staying well hydrated and eating beforehand helps make the ses
Some patients notice effects during or shortly after their first session, while for others benefits build gradually over a short course. Because NAD+ IV therapy is not a one-off cure, most people who choose to continue have sessions at intervals agreed with their clinician, based on how they respond and their overall goals.
NAD+ IV therapy is generally well tolerated when given slowly and under medical supervision. The most commonly reported side effects include mild nausea, flushing, a tight feeling in the chest and headache, particularly if the infusion is given too quickly. These effects usually settle once the infusion rate is slowed. Serious reactions are uncommon, but a proper pre-treatment assessment is essential to identify anyone for whom NAD+ therapy is not appropriate.
NAD+ IV therapy at The Wright Practice starts from £220, depending on dose and session length. This includes your pre-treatment health review and the infusion itself, and we will talk you through a plan tailored to your goals at your consultation.
We see NAD+ IV therapy as one part of a much wider picture of preventative and longevity-focused health, not a standalone fix. Dr Dan Wright and our team will always take a full history first, so that any fatigue or wellbeing concerns are properly assessed rather than masked by an infusion alone.
NAD+ IV therapy delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy production, directly into the bloodstream through a slow infusion. This bypasses the digestive system, with the aim of raising NAD+ levels more directly than an oral supplement.

The most commonly reported side effects are mild nausea, flushing, a tight feeling in the chest and headache, particularly if the infusion runs too quickly. These usually settle once the rate is slowed, and serious reactions are uncommon under proper medical supervision.
Oral NAD+ supplements and precursors are absorbed through the digestive system, while IV therapy delivers the coenzyme directly into the bloodstream. This route is intended to bypass digestion, though this does not automatically mean it is more effective for every goal.
Yes. For patients who would prefer a quicker treatment, we also offer NAD+ by intramuscular injection. NAD+ IM is administered into a muscle during a short appointment, avoiding the cannula and two-to-four-hour infusion required for IV treatment.
The IV route allows NAD+ to be delivered gradually and at a higher dose, while the IM option provides a convenient alternative for patients with less time available or those who prefer not to have an intravenous infusion. Dr Dan Wright and the team will discuss which approach is most suitable for your goals, medical history and treatment preferences.
A single NAD+ IV therapy session costs **£645*. A course of five IV sessions costs *£2,250**.
NAD+ intramuscular injections cost **£250 per treatment** and offer a shorter, more convenient alternative for patients who do not require or have time for a full infusion.
Your pre-treatment health review is included, and we will discuss whether IV or IM treatment—and whether an individual treatment or course—is most appropriate for you.
NAD+ IV therapy delivers NAD+ gradually into the bloodstream through a slow infusion, usually over two to four hours. NAD+ IM is given as an injection into a muscle and takes considerably less time. IV treatment permits a higher dose to be administered slowly, while IM treatment offers a convenient alternative for patients who prefer a shorter appointment. We will help you decide which approach best suits your goals.
