Few wellness treatments have generated as much interest as NAD+. It shows up in longevity podcasts, athletes’ recovery routines and executive health programs. But behind the buzz is a molecule your body has relied on all along.

The basics

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD+, is a coenzyme present in every living cell. It helps your mitochondria turn nutrients into usable energy and participates in hundreds of processes, including DNA repair and the regulation of metabolism.

Research suggests that NAD+ levels decline as we age — by some estimates, significantly between early adulthood and middle age. That decline has made NAD+ a focus of healthy-aging research.

What guests tell us

Experiences vary, and NAD+ is not a cure for any condition. That said, guests commonly report that they choose NAD+ to support:

  • Steady daily energy without the spike-and-crash of stimulants
  • Mental clarity and focus during demanding periods
  • Recovery from intense training, travel or jet lag
  • A proactive, longevity-focused routine

What an infusion feels like

NAD+ is infused slowly — usually over two to four hours. If the rate is too fast, some people feel temporary chest tightness, flushing or nausea. These sensations fade quickly once the drip slows, and your nurse will adjust the pace to keep you comfortable. Most guests bring a laptop or a book and treat the time as a quiet pause in their week.

Prefer something quicker?

NAD+ shots take about five minutes and are a convenient way to maintain your levels between infusions.

Who it’s for — and who should wait

NAD+ may be a good fit for healthy adults who want to support energy, focus and recovery as part of a broader wellness plan. It isn’t recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and certain medical conditions require clearance from your physician first. Every NAD+ treatment at Vitalissea begins with a screening by a licensed medical provider.

Important: NAD+ therapy is offered as a wellness service. It is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease and is not a substitute for medical care.
