What a NAD+ Shot Is
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell. Cells rely on it to turn food into usable energy, to repair DNA and to support healthy brain function. Levels fall naturally as we age, which is why many patients add NAD+ to a longevity-focused routine.
A NAD+ shot delivers it by injection into the upper arm in a short visit. It is the quick alternative to a full infusion: you can book it as a stand-alone appointment, or add it as a booster when you come in for IV therapy.
Shot, IV or Capsule: How They Compare
We offer two ways to receive NAD+: a shot and NAD+ IV therapy. Many patients also ask how both compare with the capsules sold online, so here is the plain version.
| NAD+ Shot | NAD+ IV Therapy | Oral Capsule | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it is given | Injection into the upper arm | Infusion into a vein over a longer session | Swallowed daily at home |
| Time in our office | A short visit; the injection takes moments | A longer infusion appointment | None |
| What it contains | NAD+ itself | NAD+ itself, delivered into the bloodstream | Usually precursors the body must convert after digestion |
| Medical oversight | Health review by our team first | Health review by our team first | Self-directed |
| Pairs well with | An IV therapy visit, as a booster | Patients who prefer an infusion | Ask us before combining with a shot |
Not sure which suits you? We help you choose at your health review, including whether a shot paired with IV therapy fits your goals.
Who Chooses a NAD+ Shot
NAD+ shots may suit healthy adults who want convenient wellness support. These are the patients we see most often.

People Who Feel Run Down
Patients interested in supporting cellular energy alongside sleep, nutrition and exercise.
Short on Time

NAD+ Shot Questions, Answered
Have a question that is not here? Bring it to your free consultation and our team will walk through it with you.
How is a NAD+ shot different from NAD+ pills?
Most capsules sold as NAD+ support contain precursors that your body has to convert after digestion. A shot places NAD+ itself into the tissue, so it does not depend on the gut. Capsules are taken daily at home, while a shot is a short in-office visit given after a health review.
Does NAD+ reduce belly fat?
We do not offer NAD+ shots as a weight-loss or fat-reduction treatment. NAD+ plays a role in how cells produce energy, but it is not a substitute for nutrition, exercise or a medical weight plan. If body contouring is your goal, ask us about T-Shape 2 at your consultation.
What should I avoid after a NAD+ injection?
There is no downtime, so you can go back to your day right away. Avoid rubbing or pressing on the injection site, keep drinking water, and expect that the spot may feel sore or look a little red for a day or so. Let our team know about any reaction that feels unusual.
How can I tell if NAD+ is working?
There is no single sign, and individual results vary. Many patients keep simple notes on energy, focus and sleep over several weeks of shots, then review them with our team to decide whether to continue.
Can I add a NAD+ shot to my IV therapy appointment?
Yes. A NAD+ shot can be a stand-alone visit or a booster added to an IV therapy appointment. Patients who prefer a longer infusion can choose NAD+ IV therapy instead.
How long does a NAD+ shot visit take?
The injection itself takes only moments, so a NAD+ shot fits into a short visit. Your first visit also includes a health review with our team before the shot is given.
Can I get a NAD+ shot if I am pregnant or have a medical condition?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you manage a medical condition, we may ask you to check with your physician first. Our team reviews your history, medications, supplements and allergies before any shot is given.
