Nobody has published a symptom list for an NAD infusion, so the tidy ones online were written by somebody guessing. Can NAD IV make you sick? What research does document sits with the oral vitamin that becomes NAD, where high supplement doses are on record for adverse effects. Your nurse in Tulsa takes an NAD bag slower than anything else we carry. The pace is the part anybody can change.
We list our sources at the bottom so you can check us.
Run that search and look at who wrote page one. Clinics selling infusions, and supplement firms selling the tests that go beside them. Several print a neat list of what a drip will do to you, with hours attached. Not one cites a study of an NAD infusion.
NAD is not a molecule your body meets for the first time in a bag. The NIH fact sheet on niacin, the version written for clinicians, puts the family relationship in one clause: Once absorbed, physiologic amounts of niacin are metabolized to NAD. Swallow the vitamin, end up with the coenzyme. So the adverse effects on record for niacin are the closest thing to a symptom list anybody has. Read them properly rather than borrow them.
Two forms of the vitamin sit behind all of this, and they do not behave alike. On one of them the sheet leaves no room: Nicotinamide does not produce skin flushing because of its slightly different chemical structure. The flush people have heard about belongs to the other form. If something you read promised you one from an NAD bag, that is the sentence to hold it up against.
Side effects are in there too, and the dose beside them is the part that never makes it into a blog post. The same sheet says high intakes of both nicotinic acid and nicotinamide taken as a dietary supplement or medication can cause adverse effects, and when it puts numbers on the heavier end for nicotinic acid it reaches for pharmacologic doses of 1,000 to 3,000 mg/day. Thousands of milligrams. Swallowed. Day after day. Our bag holds 500 mg of NAD, once, into a vein. Those are not the same event and the numbers do not carry across. What they do tell you is where the documented trouble sits, and it is not where a single bag sits.
A single human study of a straight NAD infusion exists, published in 2019. Look at what it set out to measure and you can see why it cannot answer you. At its infusion rate, the paper reports, NAD is rapidly and completely removed from the plasma for at least the first 2 h, and by the end of six hours, Increased urinary excretion of methylnicotinamide and NAD+ were detected at 6 h, however, no significant rise in urinary nicotinamide was observed. Your body takes it up quickly and sends part of it back out. That is a metabolism paper. Nobody in that room was writing down who felt queasy. We went through what it can and cannot say about safety in its own article, where the detail that matters most is the sample size: eight men.
NAD+ 500mg is $399, all in, and there are two things in it. Normal saline and 500 mg of NAD. It typically takes 1 to 3 hours, against about an hour for most of our visits, and that gap is not an accident. Your nurse stays for the whole thing and dials the drip to whatever your body will take comfortably, which on the day means she is watching your face rather than the clock.
NAD gets sold everywhere as the energy drip, so clients ask what else is in there that might make them feel wrong. In this one, nothing. We heard the same suspicion about our hydration bags often enough that whether a hydration IV carries caffeine ended up with a page of its own.
Cellular Rewind is $399 as well and carries the identical amount of NAD beside a B complex, vitamin C and glutathione, on the same unhurried drip. Both are placed by a registered nurse and read by a physician before anything runs, which is the order this company does its work in and not a line we wrote for the website. We come to you in Tulsa. A kitchen, a workplace, a hotel room. Hotels count for more than you would think on a three hour appointment, because weddings, ballgames and conferences fill this town with people who have nowhere else to sit still that long. Every ingredient and the one price attached to it sits on the menu where you can read it before you book.
Reading about a mechanism does not tell you how your afternoon will go. That is why your nurse sits next to you the whole time instead of handing you a bag over a counter. Tell her the minute something feels off. She can ease the rate back, stop the drip, or take the line out, and none of that is a decision you have to argue for.
MedlinePlus, the National Library of Medicine's plain side for patients, carries a general page on nausea and vomiting, and it marks the point where a rough few hours becomes a reason to call somebody. One marker on its list reads Been unable to keep any fluids down for 12 hours or more. If you are anywhere near that, the person you want has your chart, not our booking link. Before any of this, you answer the health questions and a physician reads them next to the bag you picked, and some of those reads come back no with the reason attached.
Reading counts for something, but it is not medical advice, and no infusion is ever a substitute for medical care. This article stands on three things. One clinician fact sheet, one patient page, one small metabolism study. Not one of them knows your history. Kidney or liver trouble, a medication list with anything live on it, a pregnancy, sickness that will not pass: those belong with whoever keeps your chart. An emergency goes to 911.
