Five Surprising Facts About NAD IV Therapy
There’s a fabulous therapy that is gaining a lot of steam amongst the medical community called NAD IV therapy. Maybe you’re heard about it or maybe you haven’t but it is being talked about more and more.
If you’ve heard about it and want to know more or if you don’t know what we’re talking about and you’re curious to learn, here are five surprising facts about NAD+ IV therapy.
1. NAD is actually a peptide.
Peptides are more common terms. Even if you’ve not heard of NAD before, you may have heard of peptides. They even come up in science class. Peptides are occurring naturally in the body. They have a vast amount of health benefits and important functions within people and NAD is simply one of those. This is why many people turn towards forms of peptide therapy: because they are aware of the important functions that peptides do for people and want to boost their capabilities.
2. NAD’s function is to signal other peptides.
NAD is a signal sender. Its job is to activate other enzymes in the body and get them to start their processes. As such, NAD has been connected to potential health benefits like: sharpening cardiovascular health, improving eyesight, decreasing internal pain, and speeding up the healing process. Plus, it may also improve a patient’s energy. Its function as a signal sender, starting up the body’s mechanisms, is quite vital.
3. Some research has shown that NAD may be important in the fight against aging.
It has been noted by some that as people age, the levels of NAD within them decrease. There may potentially be a connection there and so one must wonder: if we were able to boost the levels of NAD in our bodies, could we potentially fight back against the aging process itself? A fascinating thing to consider.
4. NAD IV therapy uses an IV because it’s more effective.
When you ingest something, say a vitamin, it has to pass through your entire digestive system. This means it can lose any number of benefits along the way before it can be absorbed fully by your system. This can be quite inefficient. With an IV, the benefits of the boost, in this case, the NAD, reach your system almost immediately and they lose very little benefits along the way by bypassing the digestive system.
5. NAD+ IV therapy is actually pretty simple and quick.
You might think such an excellent treatment might be more involved, but, in fact, the procedure doesn’t ask that much of a patient. It usually takes about an hour, just so that the body can absorb as many benefits as possible, and only asks the patient to sit there. They can watch TV or read while the process goes on and when it’s over, they may return to their normal day activities with no downtime. There’s very little pain involved – a slight pinch when the IV is inserted – but most patients find it to be very tolerable.

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.
Each peptide is different, with dosages that can vary from person to person. In general, a vial of any peptide can last about 3-4 weeks. During the consultation, our provider will address dosing and how long the specific peptide will last for you.
No, our providers will address all your questions and concerns with you before your first appointment. Please eat and drink as normal.
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.
