If you’re feeling run down, mentally foggy, or noticing slower recovery from stress, NAD+ IV therapy may help support your body at the cellular level. At Columbia Laser Skin Center in The Dalles, OR, we offer medically supervised NAD+ IV therapy to help support energy production, metabolic function, mental clarity and mood, and healthy aging.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme that plays a critical role in how your cells produce energy. It helps convert nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the fuel your body uses to function.
NAD+ levels naturally decline with age and during periods of chronic stress, illness, or intense physical demand. Lower levels can affect how your body is able to handle these stressors and may contribute to fatigue, reduced stamina, slower recovery, and brain fog.
NAD+ IV therapy delivers NAD+ directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous infusion. Because IV delivery bypasses your digestive system, it allows the NAD+ to be more efficiently available to your cells. Higher concentrations of the infusion’s beneficial ingredients are available for your body to use, and absorption of those ingredients happens faster, which means you can feel the results more rapidly.
At Columbia Laser Skin Center, NAD+ IV therapy is often considered by patients looking to:
Fluids, electrolytes, amino acids, and antioxidants—delivered.
NAD+ is essential for converting nutrients into usable energy inside your cells. Adequate NAD+ levels help your body meet its daily energy demands.
NAD+ supports enzymes involved in cellular repair processes. This becomes increasingly important as we age and our cells accumulate more damage.
NAD+ is critical for brain health. Sufficient NAD+ levels are associated with reduced brain fog, enhanced mental clarity, better focus, improved mood, and better sleep quality.
Since NAD+ levels decline over time, IV therapy is often explored as a way to reduce the impacts of aging. It can also support resilience and recovery during periods of increased demand.
We’ll review your current concerns, medical history and health goals to determine whether NAD+ IV therapy is appropriate for you. Once you’re seated comfortably in our VitaFusion Lounge, an IV line will be placed in your arm.
NAD+ is infused slowly to support comfort and tolerance. Sessions typically last 2–4 hours. Some patients may experience temporary sensations such as warmth, mild nausea, headache, or chest tightness. Let your provider know if you feel uncomfortable; adjusting the infusion rate usually resolves these symptoms quickly.
You can return to normal activities immediately. You may feel improvements shortly after your treatment, or you may experience gradual changes over the next one to two weeks. Your provider may recommend scheduling a series of treatments, depending on your goals.
Some patients begin with a short series of treatments spaced over two weeks. Others choose occasional sessions during periods of increased stress or fatigue. Your provider will customize your treatment plan based on your health status and goals.
NAD+ IV therapy may be appropriate for adults seeking medically supervised IV wellness support who can tolerate longer infusion sessions.
It may not be recommended for patients who are:
We perform a thorough medical review prior to treatment to determine whether NAD+ IV therapy is a good choice for you.
A NAD IV Drip is a little more of a commitment than our other wellness drips, but the results are worth it! Most sessions take about 4 hours to complete, since NAD is infused slowly to keep you comfortable and ensure your body absorbs it properly.
Think of it as the perfect time to catch up on a book; watch your favorite move or series; listen to a podcast, or simply enjoy some much-needed downtime while giving your body a powerful boost from the inside out.

NAD IV therapy is generally very safe, and most people tolerate it well. Any side effects that do occur are usually mild, temporary, and happen during the infusion itself. Our team always monitors you closely and can adjust the drip speed to keep you comfortable.
Possible side effects may include:
Serious reactions are very rare, especially in a professional medspa setting. For added safety, we keep the infusion slow, encourage hydration, and check in with you throughout the process. We also have our Medical Director in the building in the event a rare event occurs.
Bottom line: most patients experience little to no discomfort, and any side effects usually fade quickly—leaving you with the powerful benefits of NAD therapy.
