NAD+ (Injectable)
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (IV/SubQ)
Direct NAD+ supplementation via IV or subcutaneous injection. Bypasses oral bioavailability issues to rapidly restore cellular NAD+ levels for energy, DNA repair, and anti-aging.
How NAD+ (Injectable) Works
Intravenous NAD+ delivers the coenzyme directly into the bloodstream, bypassing gastrointestinal metabolism for 100% bioavailability. NAD+ is essential for sirtuin activation (SIRT1-7), which regulate DNA repair, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory pathways. It is also a critical substrate for PARP enzymes involved in DNA damage repair. IV administration rapidly replenishes intracellular NAD+ pools, which decline ~50% between ages 40-60, restoring mitochondrial electron transport chain efficiency and cellular energy production.
📊 Evidence by Outcome
Rapid improvements in energy, mental clarity, and physical stamina reported after IV sessions.

Side Effects & Safety
Interactions & Contraindications
Drug Interactions
- •Chemotherapy — NAD+ may theoretically protect cancer cells; oncologist must approve
- •Blood thinners — IV access increases bruising risk
- •Sedatives — the energizing effect of NAD+ may partially counteract
Supplement Interactions
- •Oral NMN/NR supplements complement IV NAD+ for sustained levels between infusions
- •TMG (trimethylglycine) is commonly co-supplemented as a methyl donor since NAD+ metabolism consumes methyl groups
- •Resveratrol activates sirtuins that are NAD+-dependent (synergistic)
Food & Timing
- •Light meal before infusion helps reduce nausea
- •Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before and after infusion
Who Should Avoid
- •Active cancer (precautionary — NAD+ may support any rapidly dividing cell)
- •Severe cardiovascular instability
- •Known allergy to NAD+ formulation components
- •Pregnancy or breastfeeding (insufficient safety data)

Frequently Asked Questions
A typical NAD+ IV infusion of 250-500mg takes 2-4 hours. Higher doses (750mg-1000mg) may take 4-6 hours. The infusion must be administered slowly to minimize side effects like flushing and nausea. Many UAE clinics offer comfortable infusion suites where you can work or relax during treatment.
Common protocols include a loading phase of 3-6 consecutive daily infusions followed by monthly or bimonthly maintenance. Some individuals opt for quarterly 2-3 day loading protocols. Your physician will customize based on baseline NAD+ levels and clinical response.
NAD+ IV therapy is widely available in Dubai at clinics including REVIV, Biovital, The IV Clinic, DNA Health, and numerous integrative medicine practices. Prices vary by dose and facility. Ensure the clinic uses pharmaceutical-grade NAD+ and has physician oversight.
NAD+ biology is extremely well-researched, with Nobel Prize-winning science underlying sirtuin and PARP pathways. However, large-scale human RCTs specifically on IV NAD+ for anti-aging are still limited. Current evidence is strong from preclinical studies and emerging clinical data. The safety profile is well-established across thousands of clinical administrations.
