NAD+

An NAD+ injection delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a vital coenzyme for cellular energy, repair, and metabolism, directly into the body via a shot (subcutaneous or intramuscular) or IV drip, aiming to boost energy, improve brain function, slow aging, and enhance athletic performance by restoring declining NAD+ levels, though it's not FDA-approved and effects vary.

How it Works
Coenzyme: NAD+ is crucial for turning nutrients into energy (ATP) and for DNA repair, but levels drop with age.

Administration: Injections bypass the digestive system for higher absorption than oral supplements.
--Subcutaneous (SubQ): Under the skin, slow absorption.
--Intramuscular (IM): Into muscle (glute, deltoid), faster than SubQ, quicker than IV.
--IV Drip: Directly into the bloodstream, fastest delivery but takes longer (1-4 hrs).

Benefits: Increased energy, mental clarity, faster recovery, metabolic boost, cellular regeneration, improved sleep, and anti-aging effects.

What to Expect
Process: Treatments are often given weekly or bi-weekly, with sessions lasting 15 mins (IM) to a few hours (IV).

Results: Many report feeling better within days, but it can take weeks to notice significant changes.

Side Effects: Generally mild, including flushing, nausea, headaches, dizziness, or injection site soreness, notes Hydrate IV Bar and ANEU Med Spa, and globalclinic.com.

Caution: Not FDA-approved; effectiveness and long-term safety require more research, so it's used under medical supervision.
