What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme involved in hundreds of reactions, including energy metabolism and DNA repair. Research reviews describe NAD+ levels falling with age in several tissues, and that observation is behind the interest in “NAD+ boosting”. A 2021 review in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology summarizes the biology. A 2018 review in Cell Metabolism summarizes the in-vivo evidence for NAD-boosting molecules, much of it from animal studies and from oral precursors such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN).
That research doesn’t directly test the IV or injection protocols clinics sell. Treat marketing claims about NAD+ drips with the same caution you’d apply to any wellness product.
What clinics actually offer
Based on clinic websites in this directory, NAD+ usually appears as:
- NAD+ IV infusions or “drips” at IV lounges, med spas and longevity clinics.
- NAD+ injections, a shorter visit and sometimes part of a membership.
- Add-ons in a broader menu next to vitamin IVs, hydration, peptides or hormone therapy.
We list a clinic for NAD+ only when its own site names NAD+ with one of those formats. We record the exact terms it uses (“NAD+ IV”, “NAD+ injection” and so on) on the listing.
Regulatory context
- Compounded, not approved. We’re not aware of an FDA-approved NAD+ infusion product for these uses. Clinic preparations generally come from compounding pharmacies, and FDA’s general statement applies: compounded drugs aren’t FDA-approved, and FDA doesn’t review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before marketing.
- IV administration is a medical procedure. Who can start an IV, and under what supervision, is set by state law and medical and nursing boards. It varies by state.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who oversees treatment? Ask for the medical director’s name, and check their license with your state board.
- Who places the IV, and who’s on site during the infusion?
- What screening happens first? Ask whether they review your medications and health history before a first infusion.
- Where does the NAD+ come from? Ask for the pharmacy name and whether it’s a 503A pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility.
- What does it cost, all in? Ask for a written price covering the session, any membership and any add-ons.
How this list is built
We found clinics and IV providers through public Google Maps listings in each metro, then checked each one against its own website on October 19, 2026. We kept a business only if its site names NAD+ therapy and shows clinical involvement, such as a provider, physician, nurse practitioner or medical director. Where possible, we matched it to the federal NPI Registry. We never show ratings, reviews or “best” rankings. Read the methodology.
Frequently asked questions
Is NAD+ IV therapy FDA-approved?
We are not aware of any FDA-approved NAD+ injection or infusion product for energy, recovery or anti-aging uses. Clinics generally use compounded preparations. Ask the clinic where its NAD+ is sourced and whether the pharmacy is a state-licensed 503A pharmacy or an FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility.
What is the difference between NAD+ injections and an NAD+ IV drip?
Clinics on Virtual Care Atlas describe both. An injection is a small volume given into a muscle or under the skin, and an IV infusion is given into a vein over a longer session. Which route a clinic offers, and how it's supervised, varies, so ask who places the IV and who's on site if you feel unwell.
How does Virtual Care Atlas decide a clinic offers NAD+?
The clinic's own website has to name NAD+ in connection with an IV, infusion, drip, injection or therapy, either more than once or on a dedicated page. We link to the page where we found it.
Are IV lounges medical clinics?
Many IV lounges operate under a medical director, with nurses placing IVs. We include IV businesses only when their site shows clinical involvement, for example a medical director, physician, nurse practitioner or provider. Ask any IV business who oversees treatment and how they screen clients before an infusion.
Why are there no NAD+ prices on Virtual Care Atlas?
Prices vary by dose, session length, membership and add-ons, and few clinics publish complete prices. We only show facts we can verify, so ask the clinic for a written quote.
Compounds named on this page: NAD+ (nadide) (PubChem CID 5892).
