What is NAD+ therapy?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a molecule every cell uses to turn food into energy and to run its repair enzymes, and levels fall with age.
NAD+ therapy delivers it directly, either by a slow IV infusion of 125 to 500 mg over two to four hours or by a quick injection of 25 to 150 mg. At Hydralive Therapy in Huntersville, infusions start at $250, injections at $44, and IV members pay half.

Your afternoon, planned
A 250 mg infusion: arrive at 1pm, vitals and line in by 1:15, drip until about 3:30 with wifi and a blanket, three cold minutes in the cryo chamber on the way out, home before school pickup. That is the whole visit.
Three ways in, off Reese Blvd.

- Plan two to three hours for it and bring a laptop
Make it a whole visit
- Free cryotherapy and red light session with any paid service on your first visit
- So an infusion day is also the day you try the chamber and the panel
- Members pay half on every NAD+ dose
Is NAD+ right for what you've got going on?

"I'm tired in a way sleep doesn't fix."
Start with a 250 mg infusion and see how the next week feels. In trials of oral NAD+ precursors, people reported less afternoon drowsiness and better physical function over a few weeks, and NAD+ levels rose within days. Give it two or three infusions across a month.
250 mg infusion, $313 · $157 member
"I'm 45 and I can feel the difference from 35."
NAD+ levels fall with age. That part is measured, and raising them is what this does. A monthly infusion plus injections between is the usual rhythm.
250 mg monthly, injections between
"I'm training hard and recovery is slow."
A six-week trial in amateur runners found NAD+ precursors improved aerobic capacity at training thresholds. Infuse on a rest day, stack cryotherapy after, and keep training.
250 mg infusion + cryo
"Brain fog. I can't find words by 3pm."
People come for this, and the human evidence is early. Two infusions across two weeks is enough to know whether you notice anything. If you do not, we would rather you spend the money on a Myers' Cocktail or a hormone panel.
125 mg infusion first, $250
"I've heard it helps after a rough stretch of drinking."
The research here goes back to the 1960s and it is thin. What an infusion will do is rehydrate you, put B vitamins and NAD+ back, and give you three quiet hours. If it is more than a rough stretch, talk to your doctor and we will support whatever plan they set.
250 mg infusion + Hangover Recovery Drip
"I want to keep levels up without sitting for three hours."
Weekly 50 to 100 mg injections. Ten minutes, $63 to $100, half for members.

What happens during an NAD+ infusion.
-
You arrive
Free parking at the door at 14229 Reese Blvd.
-
First visit, a short consult
North Carolina requires a prescriber's order for any IV nutrient therapy. Yours comes from our prescriber after a health form and a brief conversation about medications and history. Blood pressure and pulse are checked. If NAD+ is the wrong call for you, we say so.
-
A registered nurse places the line
One small stick, the same as a blood draw.
-
The infusion runs slowly on purpose
NAD+ given fast causes chest pressure, flushing, nausea and cramping. Given slowly it mostly does not. The nurse starts the rate low, checks on you in the first fifteen minutes, and adjusts. You control the pace: say the word and the drip slows. A 250 mg infusion runs two to three hours. Recliner, blanket, wifi, headphones welcome.
-
You leave and get on with your day
No downtime. Some people feel clearer that evening, some the next morning, some not until the second or third infusion.
How often should you get NAD+?
Two or three infusions across the first month, then monthly, with injections between if you want to hold levels. That is the rhythm most clinics use and it matches how quickly NAD+ is cleared. The first infusion tells you whether you notice anything. The third tells you whether to continue.
Does NAD+ therapy work? What the research says.
The short version: NAD+ falls with age, giving it back raises it, and what you feel from that is where the research is still small. Here is what the studies show.
Levels fall with age
A 2012 study of human tissue in PLoS ONE measured NAD+ in adults across age groups and found it declining steadily with age alongside rising markers of oxidative stress. Reviews in Nature Metabolism note the human data are still limited, and that the decline has been observed consistently where it has been measured.
Giving it back works
A six-week controlled trial in Nature Communications gave healthy adults aged 55 to 79 an oral NAD+ precursor and measured a 60% rise in cellular NAD+, with no safety issues. A 2021 trial in Science found ten weeks of an NAD+ precursor improved muscle insulin sensitivity in postmenopausal women.
What the IV route does
The one published infusion study, in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, gave 750 mg over six hours and tracked blood levels throughout. For the first two hours, NAD+ disappeared from the blood as fast as it went in, which the authors read as tissue uptake. After that, blood levels rose nearly fourfold. No adverse events during the infusion. It is a pharmacokinetic study of eight men, and it is the reason we run infusions slowly rather than as a bolus.
Energy, drowsiness and function
A 12-week trial of 108 older adults found afternoon dosing of an NAD+ precursor reduced daytime drowsiness and improved sit-to-stand and walking tests. A six-week trial in 48 amateur runners found aerobic capacity at training thresholds improved with dose. Both were oral, both were small, and both were placebo-controlled. A 2025 randomized trial in people with long COVID found NAD+ levels rose and participants reported less fatigue and better sleep and mood in secondary measures; the primary cognition outcome did not differ, and the authors call the results exploratory.
Every study above except the infusion study used oral precursors rather than IV NAD+. We tell you that so you know what the evidence is and is not. Cognition and longevity claims you will read elsewhere are ahead of the human research, and we do not make them.
Who is NAD+ therapy for?
People in their forties and fifties who feel it. Ages 35 to 54 are a third of Huntersville. If mornings are slower than they were and the afternoon slump arrived a few years ago, a monthly infusion is a reasonable experiment with a number behind it.
People who train. HFFA, CrossFit Huntersville, the Lake Norman 15K on 11 October, the Huntersville Half in December. Infuse on a rest day, cryo after, and keep the block going.
People who work nights and rotate. Novant Huntersville Medical Center, McGuire, the race shops. Rotating schedules wreck the body's clock, and NAD+ is part of the machinery that runs it. Injection on the way home from a night shift, infusion on a day off.
People who did too much. Back from a trip, the end of a brutal quarter, a stretch of bad sleep and worse food. Three hours in a recliner with a drip that puts back what the month took, then a cryo session, then home.
Is NAD+ therapy safe?
For healthy adults, with a nurse present and the infusion run slowly, yes. Tell us at intake if any of these apply.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active cancer or cancer treatment (talk to your oncologist first)
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Serious liver or kidney disease
- A heart rhythm condition
- Blood thinners, immunosuppressants or insulin
We take blood pressure and pulse at every infusion. If NAD+ is the wrong call for you that day, we will say so, and you will not be charged. NAD+ is compounded by a licensed pharmacy and is not an FDA-approved drug.
Is the membership cheaper for NAD+? By a lot.
Pay as you go

- Monthly 250 mg infusion for a year: $3,756
- Monthly 250 mg plus two 50 mg injections: $439 a month

- A year of monthly 250 mg: $1,884 plus $1,128 membership = $3,012
- Monthly 250 mg plus two injections: $314 a month, and every other drip on the menu is half price
What clients say on Google.
★★★★★
I booked my first IV drip on a whim and felt like myself again by that afternoon. The staff walked me through everything and made it so easy. I signed up for a membership before I left.

Compression and red light after leg day are a game changer. It's close to home, quick in and out, and everyone actually remembers your name.
NAD+ therapy FAQs
How much does NAD+ IV therapy cost?
$250 for 125 mg, $313 for 250 mg and $594 for 500 mg at Hydralive Therapy in Huntersville. IV members pay half. Injections run $44 to $125 depending on dose. Across the US, NAD+ infusions typically cost $200 to $700 depending on dose.
How long does an NAD+ infusion take?
About two hours for 125 mg, two to three for 250 mg and three to four for 500 mg. It runs slowly on purpose. Injections take ten minutes.
What does an NAD+ infusion feel like?
Warmth and a feeling of pressure in the chest or stomach are common in the first fifteen minutes and they ease when the rate is slowed. That is why the nurse starts low and checks on you. Most people are reading or working by the half-hour mark. Injections feel like any shot, with a sore spot for a day.
How often should I get NAD+ therapy?
Two or three infusions in the first month, then monthly, with injections between if you want to hold levels. The first infusion tells you whether you notice anything. The third tells you whether it is worth continuing.
Is NAD+ IV therapy safe?
For healthy adults, with a registered nurse present and the infusion run slowly, yes. We check blood pressure and pulse first and every time. People who are pregnant, have active cancer, uncontrolled blood pressure, or serious liver, kidney or heart conditions should talk to their doctor first. NAD+ is a compounded product and is not an FDA-approved drug.
Does NAD+ therapy work?
NAD+ levels fall with age and giving it back raises them. Those two facts are well established in human studies. What people feel from that, such as less afternoon drowsiness, better physical function and less fatigue, has been shown in small placebo-controlled trials, most of them with oral precursors rather than IV. We describe it as a reasonable experiment with a number behind it, and the first infusion is how you find out.
NAD+ IV, injection or supplement?
The infusion gives the fastest and largest rise. Injections hold levels between infusions in ten minutes. Oral precursors have the most trial data for daily use and cost less. Plenty of people do an infusion monthly and a supplement daily.
Does NAD+ help with hangovers or jet lag?
An infusion rehydrates you, replaces B vitamins and NAD+, and gives you three quiet hours, which is most of what a rough day needs. Specific trials on hangovers and jet lag do not exist yet, and we will not pretend they do.
Do I need a prescription for NAD+ therapy?
North Carolina requires a prescriber's order for any IV nutrient therapy. The consult at your first visit covers it.
Does insurance or HSA cover NAD+ therapy?
Insurance does not. HSA and FSA cards usually work. Check your plan's eligible-expense list.
Can I do NAD+ and cryotherapy in the same visit?
Yes. Infusion first, then the chamber. Your first visit includes a free cryotherapy and red light session with any paid service.
