Administered in a comfortable clinical environment, NAD+ IV therapy helps replenish the body’s natural energy-producing processes. Northwest Face & Body offers the best NAD+ IV infusion therapy in Bellevue and Kirkland.
What Is NAD IV Infusion Therapy?
In a basic sense, IV infusion therapy involves using an IV drip to deliver nutrients or supplements directly into the bloodstream. Several types of IV infusions deliver different benefits based on the supplements included. NAD+ is popular because it provides well-rounded advantages to nearly everyone.
NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. This is a coenzyme that is found in all living cells. It helps manage communication between cells, the creation of energy, and the optimal functioning of the metabolism. As a person ages, the amount of NAD in the body naturally goes down. This can lead to or promote many processes seen during aging such as wrinkle formation, a slowed metabolism, and less overall energy.
An NAD infusion uses a form of NAD known as NAD+ which is the oxidized and active form of NAD. As a more biologically active form, NAD+ is ideal for IV therapy treatments.

Oral NAD Supplements vs. IV NAD Infusion
NAD supplementation can take two forms: oral vitamins and IV infusion. Both can offer patients benefits. For example, taking a vitamin is usually more convenient for patients, but it offers small dosages that are not absorbed as quickly or as effectively as with an IV infusion. IV drips bypass the digestive system which naturally breaks down some of the beneficial elements present in NAD. Oral NAD must pass through the digestive system.
IV infusions flood the bloodstream with NAD where it will travel to the areas most lacking NAD. By utilizing the bloodstream, NAD can reach these areas and take effect quicker than oral supplementation. Patients can examine the benefits and drawbacks of oral supplements versus IV infusion to determine the right option that fits their lifestyle and needs.
An Infusion Therapy Appointment: Step-By-Step
For your first NAD+ IV treatment, you will come into the office where your provider will disinfect your arm, insert the IV catheter, and attach the IV drip. From there, you can sit back and relax. Some patient bring a book or catch up on their favorite show. You are also welcome to sleep, meditate, or do anything you can do with limited movement. The infusion generally takes between sixty and ninety minutes.
Once finished, your provider will remove the drip and IV. They may apply a bandage over the injection site. Patients are welcome to ask any questions they may have and schedule their next appointment as they leave. There are no restrictions following an IV infusion. Patients can return to work and their normal activities immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Lose Weight With An NAD Drip?
Because NAD+ is vital to the ideal functioning of the metabolism, many people ask if an NAD IV drip can help them lose weight. In general, an NAD+ drip alone will not significantly contribute to weight loss. Lifestyle changes such as increasing exercise have a much greater impact on weight loss; however, if working to make the lifestyle changes and/or taking a medical weight loss medication such as semaglutide, NAD+ IV infusions can support weight loss endeavors. But, IV infusions are not a replacement for medical weight loss.
How Long Does It Take To Feel The Effects Of IV Infusion?
Depending on the patient’s needs and history, it can take a few days to two weeks to feel a significant difference from an IV infusion. Some patients may not experience a major difference after one session, but NAD infusions can be performed frequently, sometimes weekly.
Can You Naturally Raise NAD Levels?
Yes, exercise and certain foods can help boost NAD levels. This boost is not to the same level as an infusion though, but is a great way to support optimal functioning of bodily processes.
How Much Is NAD+ IV Therapy In Bellevue?
Each NAD+ infusion treatment in Bellevue is $249/session. Add-ons and upgrades may be available for an additional cost.
