What it is
NAD+ IV therapy is a treatment that delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip. NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in every cell of the body, responsible for cellular energy production, DNA repair, and slowing down the aging process.
As NAD+ levels decline with age, people may experience fatigue, brain fog, weakened immunity, and signs of aging. By bypassing the digestive system, IV therapy provides faster and more efficient absorption compared to oral supplements.
In Korea, NAD+ IV therapy is gaining popularity among professionals, biohackers, medical tourists, and beauty-conscious clients who seek energy, longevity, and anti-aging benefits.
➡ Highlights:
• Provides direct cellular energy restoration
• Supports anti-aging, mental clarity, and immune health
• Offered in Korea’s advanced wellness and longevity clinics
Why it’s done
NAD+ IV therapy is chosen by people who want to boost energy, slow aging, and improve brain and body performance.
➝ Key reasons include:
- Energy production: Increases ATP levels, the body’s cellular fuel
- Anti-aging: Supports DNA repair and reduces oxidative stress
- Cognitive support: Improves focus, memory, and mental clarity
- Mood balance: Enhances neurotransmitter function, helping with stress and low mood
- Detox and recovery: Assists in cellular repair after illness, fatigue, or toxin exposure
In Korea, it is particularly popular among high-performance professionals, wellness seekers, and those exploring advanced anti-aging treatments.
Alternatives
There are other ways to increase NAD+ in the body, though they are less effective than IV therapy:
• Oral NAD+ precursors: Supplements like nicotinamide riboside (NR) or nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) — limited absorption
• Healthy lifestyle: Exercise, sleep, and fasting help preserve NAD+ levels
• Oral vitamins: B-complex vitamins and antioxidants support energy metabolism
• Other IV therapies: Anti-aging IVs with glutathione or vitamin C provide complementary benefits
NAD+ IV therapy is preferred when immediate and noticeable effects are desired, especially for fatigue and anti-aging.
Preparation
For the best results, a few preparations are recommended:
✅ Consultation with a healthcare provider to check for suitability and health conditions
✅ Disclose medications or ongoing treatments to prevent interactions
✅ Avoid heavy meals before the session for comfort
✅ Customized drips — In Korea, NAD+ IV therapy is often combined with glutathione, vitamin C, or amino acids for enhanced anti-aging and detox benefits
How it’s done
The procedure usually takes 60–120 minutes, longer than standard IV drips due to the slower infusion rate needed for NAD+.
➝ A nurse inserts a small IV needle into the arm after sterilization
➝ The NAD+ solution mixed with fluids is connected to the IV line
➝ Infusion is given at a controlled pace to minimize discomfort
➝ Patients relax in spa-like lounges or wellness clinics, which are common in Korea
Important: NAD+ infusion must be supervised by trained professionals, as dosing and infusion rate require careful monitoring.
Recovery
Most patients report feeling energized and mentally sharper soon after treatment.
✔️ Immediate benefits: Increased energy, clearer focus, and better mood
✔️ Short-term effects: Reduced fatigue, improved productivity, better mental clarity
✔️ Long-term benefits: Slower aging, improved cellular health, stronger immunity
✔️ Possible mild effects: Temporary headache, nausea, or chest tightness if infused too quickly (clinics in Korea typically infuse slowly to avoid this)
