Why people come to us for NAD+
The conversation around NAD+ has shifted fast over the last five years. What used to be a research-lab molecule is now a regular part of longevity clinics, biohacking protocols, and addiction-recovery programs. Our Sandy clients typically fit one of a few patterns: professionals in their 40s and 50s looking for cognitive sharpness, athletes trying to recover faster, people recovering from long-haul illness, and clients working with physicians on anti-aging programs.
NAD+ is not a stimulant. It doesn’t feel like caffeine. The reported effects — sharper focus, steadier energy, better sleep architecture, and a general sense of “the edge is back” — typically build across a course rather than peaking after one session.
IV infusion vs. IM injection
We offer both formats. Here’s the honest difference.
- NAD+ IV infusion. Delivered over roughly two hours. Dose is high (250–1,000 mg depending on protocol). Best for a structured course — for example, 3–6 sessions scheduled close together when you’re trying to reset or front-load the benefits.
- NAD+ IM injection. Delivered in about five minutes. Dose is lower per visit but can be scheduled more frequently. Best for maintenance after a course, for busy schedules, and for clients new to NAD+ who want to try a lower-commitment format first.
- Niagen IV (next-generation NAD+ precursor). A newer option we offer for clients who have tolerated standard NAD+ poorly — some report a smoother experience during the infusion.
What an NAD+ infusion feels like
Most of what makes NAD+ different from a vitamin drip happens during the infusion itself. At higher doses and higher drip rates, NAD+ can feel uncomfortable — a tight chest, flushed skin, restless legs, or mild nausea. None of it is dangerous, but it’s why the drip runs slowly. We’ll start at a comfortable rate, adjust based on how you feel, and give you the option to pause. Most clients find the second session is easier than the first because they know what to expect.
Our rooms are built for the longer sit — heated recliners, blankets, streaming, and Wi-Fi. Bring a laptop or a good book. The Niagen option tends to run smoother for sensitive clients.
A typical NAD+ course
- Consultation — medications, conditions, goals. Certain medications affect NAD+ metabolism and may shift dosing.
- Starter session — 250 mg IV at a slow drip rate so you learn how your body responds.
- Course — typically 3–6 sessions scheduled every 2–7 days, depending on protocol and tolerance.
- Maintenance — monthly IM injection or less-frequent IV infusion, tuned to how you feel.
NAD+ pairs well with
- Glutathione push — supports the oxidative-stress load of a NAD+ course
- Myers Cocktail — the classic vitamin base on non-NAD days
- B12 injection — a common quick add-on for energy

FAQ
Will NAD+ make me feel high or wired?
No. NAD+ is not a stimulant. Most clients describe it as “quiet” — a steadier energy rather than a rush.
How long until I notice anything?
Sometimes after the first session, more often after two or three. The effects build and are most noticeable 24–72 hours post-infusion.
Is NAD+ safe?
For most healthy adults, yes, under medical supervision. It is not appropriate during pregnancy, with certain medications, or alongside some medical conditions — this is exactly what the intake screens for.
What’s the difference between NAD+ and Niagen?
Niagen is a proprietary form of nicotinamide riboside — a precursor molecule the body converts to NAD+. Some clients find it smoother during infusion.
