What does NAD+ IV therapy actually do?

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell that powers energy production, DNA repair, and brain function. Levels decline with age, stress, illness, and inflammation. An NAD+ infusion bypasses digestion to restore those levels directly, supporting cellular energy, mental clarity, mood, and repair. It is a supportive therapy, not a cure for any specific condition.

How long does an NAD+ infusion take?

Longer than a standard vitamin drip. NAD+ must be infused slowly to stay comfortable, so plan for an extended visit. Infusion rooms are designed for longer sessions, and dose and drip rate are adjusted per patient. Every NAD+ treatment also includes supporting vitamins, minerals, and an antioxidant flush.

How many NAD+ sessions will I need?

It depends on your goals. Many patients begin with a short loading series spaced over a few weeks, then move to occasional maintenance infusions. A physician recommends a protocol based on health history and response to the first session.

What does an NAD+ drip feel like? Are there side effects?

If NAD+ runs too quickly, it can cause temporary chest tightness, flushing, or nausea. Slowing the drip resolves this within minutes, which is why infusions are physician-supervised and paced to patient comfort.

Is NAD+ IV therapy covered by OHIP or insurance?

NAD+ IV therapy is not covered by OHIP. Some extended health benefits or Health Spending Accounts may reimburse part of the cost; detailed receipts are provided. Current pricing is listed on the Upper Room Clinic Services & Diagnostic Testing Price List.

Do I need a referral to start?

No referral is needed. Book a free discovery call to decide whether NAD+ IV therapy fits your goals, then schedule a consultation at the Toronto or Oakville location.

Who should not get NAD+ IV therapy?

NAD+ may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active infection, or with certain heart, kidney, or liver conditions. Every patient is screened by a physician before their first infusion.

NAD+ IV Therapy in Toronto and Oakville, Ontario

What is NAD+?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell. It powers metabolic reactions, repairs DNA, supports mitochondria, and influences brain function, immunity, and longevity. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline—accelerated by stress, illness, inflammation, toxin exposure, and overuse of cellular energy.

When NAD+ falls, energy production drops, cognitive function slows, mood worsens, and cellular aging accelerates.

NAD+ IV Therapy bypasses digestion to rapidly restore NAD+ levels, improving how your cells produce energy, communicate, detoxify, and repair.

PLAN

BEFORE TREATMENT

Book a consultation and share any recent bloodwork or health history. Your clinician will review contraindications such as active cancer, kidney disease, or uncontrolled illness before proceeding.

During your consultation, we review your goals, symptoms, and health history to determine your optimal NAD+ dose. Because NAD+ influences metabolism, mood, detoxification, and cellular stress, dosing is always personalized.

We design a customized NAD+ protocol based on your needs—whether for longevity, cognitive enhancement, emotional regulation, detoxification, or recovery support.

Eat a light meal 1–2 hours prior and stay well hydrated. Some patients may require micronutrient testing to tailor the accompanying IV nutrient formulas.

During Treatment

NAD+ infusions take 1–8 hours, depending on dose. You may feel sensations such as warmth, flushing, head pressure, GI bloating, or increased breathing rate—these are temporary. We adjust the infusion rate to keep you comfortable. All NAD+ IV sessions include: • A customized Vitamin + Amino Acid IV • A Glutathione infusion to enhance detoxification and antioxidant support (included in pricing) Most patients feel mental clarity, uplifted mood, improved energy, and reduced stress in the 24–48 hours following treatment.
