As we age, our cells naturally become less efficient. By the time we hit 30, most bodily functions start to decline. Our energy starts to drop, recovery slows, and the effects of stress become more noticeable. Even one long night can take its toll, and you might start drinking more and more coffee just to make it through the day. This shift is common– your circle of friends can probably attest to similar experiences– but it doesn’t mean you have to accept it as your new normal.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring molecule found in every cell of your body. Its main job is to help your cells create energy. When your NAD+ levels are strong, your body is better equipped to turn nutrients into fuel that powers your brain, muscles, and daily activity.
As we age or go through periods of stress, our NAD+ levels naturally decline– just like our collagen and hormone levels do over time. That drop can show up as low energy, mental fog, slower recovery, and even visible signs of aging.
NAD+ therapy is designed to help replenish those levels and give your body the support it needs. Our patients who restore their NAD+ report outcomes like more energy, better focus, and mental resilience that doesn’t rely on caffeine or other quick fixes.

NAD+ therapy works by replenishing the levels of NAD+ in your body so your cells function more effectively. At Neaman Wellness Center, this is usually done through NAD+ injections or IV therapy, since both allow your body to absorb and utilize NAD+ efficiently.
If you remember nothing else from your middle school biology class, you probably remember this: the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. What you probably didn’t learn is that NAD+ plays a key role in helping these mitochondria create the fuel your body needs. When NAD+ levels drop, your cells can’t produce as much energy. As a result, you start to feel fatigued or depleted.
By restoring NAD+ levels, your body can produce energy more efficiently at the source. It’s not a temporary spike in stimulation like an energy drink at 2 pm or a sugar-filled cupcake. It’s an approach that helps your body create fuel more consistently and sustainably.
NAD+ doesn’t just boost your energy production– it also plays an important role in maintaining healthy cells over time. There are several factors in life that cause wear and tear at the cellular level. Aging is the one we expect, but stress and environmental exposure can also impact our cells. Supporting optimal NAD+ levels can help your body manage each factor and maintain optimal function.
NAD+ therapy can be a good fit for adults who feel mentally or physically drained– even if they’re doing all the ‘right things’ like following a healthy diet, staying physically active, and getting enough sleep at night. If you’re suffering from fatigue that you can’t shake, burnout, brain fog, or a noticeable loss of energy, your declining NAD+ levels could be part of the reason.
Many of our patients who consider these longevity treatments are:
“Many of our patients aren’t looking for a quick fix. They want sustainable energy and better resilience. NAD+ therapy supports the foundation of cellular function, which is where real, lasting change begins.” –Dr. Barnett
NAD+ therapy can be administered through NAD+ injections or IV therapy, which you might hear some people refer to as NAD drip for fatigue. An IV session usually lasts 30-60 minutes, NAD+ injections only take a few minutes, and as soon as it’s done, you’re good to go on with the rest of your day. Most people start to feel the effects within a few hours.
During your consultation, we’ll review your health history, energy levels, and goals. From there, our providers will create a personalized protocol tailored to your needs. Some patients come in every week or every other week, especially when they’re under a lot of stress. Others visit us once a month for ongoing wellness support.
Because NAD+ therapy is a cellular repair treatment– not a short-term boost– you’ll see steady improvements.
NAD+ therapy isn’t a magic solution, and it isn’t going to be the right fit for everyone. The anti-aging IV therapy works best when it’s one part of a more comprehensive wellness approach that’s packed with healthy habits like getting quality sleep, eating a balanced and nutritious diet, and managing your stress levels.
Declining energy levels aren’t an inevitable part of aging if you take action to address them. NAD+ for energy is one way to help your body continue to produce the fuel it needs to do the things you love.
Whether you’re dealing with burnout, exhausted from chronic fatigue, or want to take a more proactive approach to healthy aging, using NAD+ therapy to restore cellular function may help you feel more like yourself again.
