The IV Edit
The NAD+
- Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)
An IV infusion containing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a coenzyme naturally present in the body and involved in cellular energy metabolism. Your clinician reviews the proposed use, available evidence, preparation, and risks before deciding whether treatment is appropriate for you.

Does a role in cellular biology prove an infusion benefit?
A role in cellular metabolism does not establish the benefit of an infusion. Your clinician should review human evidence for the proposed use and explain the preparation, risks, and alternatives. FDA has received reports of adverse reactions following injectable NAD+.
What should I review before deciding?
Ask about the exact treatment, risks, alternatives, recovery and full cost. An assessment helps determine whether an option is appropriate for you.
