Why We Love NAD+ IV Therapy — Brain, Energy, Longevity and More

If you’ve ever wished for more energy, sharper focus, or a better way to support aging, NAD+ therapy might be exactly what you’re looking for. At Hyer Health, we offer IV and injection options for NAD+, tailored to your needs — whether you’re recovering from burnout, optimizing brain performance, or supporting long-term cellular health.

What Is NAD+?

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — a molecule found in every living cell.
It helps your body:

Turn food into energy
Repair damaged DNA
Regulate sleep and circadian rhythm
Support brain function and mood
Activate longevity genes (sirtuins)
Detox harmful substances

As we age or deal with stress, inflammation, or illness, our NAD+ levels naturally decline — which can lead to fatigue, poor focus, slower healing, and signs of aging.

NAD+ IV Therapy vs. Injection: What’s the Difference?

IV NAD+ is ideal for deep cellular support, especially for neurological issues, fatigue, or detox. Infusions are longer (1–2+ hours) and allow for higher doses.

Injections (IM or subcutaneous) are quick and effective for maintenance or milder symptoms, and can be used several times a week.

Many patients start with IV infusions weekly for 4–6 weeks, then switch to monthly infusions or weekly injections for maintenance.

What Are the Benefits of NAD+ Therapy?

Increased energy
Improved focus and memory
Anti-aging and DNA repair
Cellular detox and repair
Mitochondrial health support
Better workout recovery and endurance
Mood regulation and reduced anxiety

Off-Label and Research-Based Uses

NAD+ therapy is being explored for a range of conditions:

Chronic fatigue syndrome
Migraines
Neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Autoimmune diseases and inflammation
Addiction recovery
Egg and sperm quality for fertility support
Anti-aging and longevity medicine

Why We Love It (and Why Athletes Do Too)

NAD+ is one of our favorite regenerative therapies because it doesn’t just mask symptoms — it restores function at the cellular level. Whether you’re a busy parent, a high-performing executive, or a competitive athlete, NAD+ helps your body and brain perform better under pressure and recover faster.

Athletes use NAD+ to:

Enhance stamina and strength
Reduce post-exercise inflammation
Speed up recovery between training sessions

How Often Should You Use It?

Goal Suggested Frequency:

Brain fog or fatigue Weekly IV x 4–6, then monthly
Longevity / anti-aging Monthly IV or 2–3x/week injections
Athletic performance Weekly injection or pre/post event
Migraine support Weekly to biweekly depending on severity
Fertility/egg quality support Weekly during preconception phase

Precautions

Some people may feel a “tight” chest or body sensation during IV NAD+ due to its impact on cellular metabolism. This is normal and we can adjust the infusion rate.
Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Always discuss other medications and medical conditions with your provider before starting NAD+.
