Thinking About Doing NAD IV Therapy? Read This First
A lot of patients have been turning to a therapy called NAD IV therapy as of late. If you have heard of it and have some questions or if you haven’t heard of it and are interested, you should read this blog first.
So just what is NAD+ IV therapy?
It’s a safe and efficient therapy that gives you all the important benefits of NAD. It is more efficient than an ingestion-based therapy because it’s an IV therapy. When you swallow something to get the benefits of it, whatever you swallow has to pass through your digestive system. The problem is: that’s a long way to go and many of the benefits you might receive from swallowing the product may get lost along the way and not be as effective. With IV therapy, those benefits go right into your bloodstream and can start helping you out almost immediately.
And just what are the benefits of receiving NAD? NAD is a peptide. A very important key coenzyme, it affects a whole lot of various metabolic functions within your body. Something that many science-forward researchers have started noticing is that your levels of NAD actually decrease as you age. Many have started to wonder if one’s decreasing level of NAD has any relation with their aging process. If that’s the case, can you increase the level of NAD in you and slow the aging process?
Thus we return to the benefits of getting a NAD+ IV therapy. By bypassing the digestive system, you can receive those potentially anti-aging benefits more potently.
That’s not all though. NAD is a peptide. Peptides occur all over the inside of your body and provide all tons of important health benefits and perform various manners of tasks. NAD, for example, has the potential to sharpen your eyesight, speed up your recovery time from injury, decrease your internal pains, boost your energy, and help your cardiovascular health. NAD does this by being a signal-sending peptide, waking other enzymes and getting them to start their processes. This is why getting a peptide therapy like NAD+ is so important for helping your body.
The good news is that NAD IV therapy is fairly quick and fairly easy. You have an IV inserted and then the NAD, mixed in a saline solution, is infused into your vein for about an hour. This gives your body a chance to absorb as much NAD as possible. The IV causes very little discomfort for most people. A lot of people don’t even notice it. You can spend your time reading or watching a movie and then get back to your normal schedule afterwards because there is no downtime to this therapy.

A NAD+ IV infusion typically takes between 2 to 4 hours to complete. The duration can vary depending on the dosage and the individual’s tolerance to the infusion rate. Some people may prefer a slower infusion to minimize potential side effects like nausea or discomfort, which can extend the session time. It’s usually administered in a medical or wellness clinic under professional supervision.
Experiences during a NAD+ IV infusion can vary from person to person. Some people report feeling a warming sensation or slight pressure at the infusion site. Others may experience mild discomfort, like nausea, headaches, or a sense of tightness in the chest, especially if the infusion rate is too fast. The effects can differ based on individual sensitivity and the rate of the infusion.

In Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) with ozone therapy, a “pass” refers to the process of drawing a certain amount of blood from the patient, infusing it with a precise concentration of ozone gas, and then reinfusing the ozonated blood back into the patient’s body. Each pass represents one complete cycle of this process. In the context of multi-pass ozone therapy, multiple passes (or cycles) are performed during a single session to increase the therapeutic effects. For example, in a 10-pass ozone therapy, the process of drawing blood, ozonating it, and reinfusing it is repeated ten times. This technique is often used to enhance the oxygenation of blood, boost the immune system, and support overall healing. The number of passes used can vary based on the specific treatment goals and the patient’s condition.
The number of ozone passes you can do during a Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) session typically depends on your health status, treatment goals, and the protocol our provider will recommend during your initial visit. In your first visit, you can have 1, 2 or 3 passes of ozone therapy.
To receive more than 3 passes, our provider will have the G6PD test performed by a blood test. The results will indicate whether your G6PD enzyme activity is within the normal range, or if you have a deficiency.
The decision on the number of passes should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, who will consider your individual needs and how your body responds to the therapy. Some patients may gradually increase the number of passes over time as their tolerance improves.
The amount of ozone administered in each pass during ozone therapy can vary depending on the specific treatment protocol and the patient’s needs. Generally, approximately 14,000μg of ozone is administered in each pass.
Each pass of ozone can take approximately 7-10 minutes, this varies from person to person.
A G6PD test measures the activity of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in your blood. This enzyme is crucial for the proper functioning of red blood cells, helping them to protect against oxidative damage. People with G6PD deficiency have lower levels of this enzyme, which can lead to the destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis) when they are exposed to certain triggers, such as certain foods, medications, or infections.The G6PD test is particularly important before undergoing treatments like ozone therapy or high-dose vitamin C therapy. These treatments can increase oxidative stress, which may be harmful to individuals with G6PD deficiency, potentially leading to hemolytic anemia.
