What Is NAD+ Therapy?
A Personalized Path to Energy & Recovery
Body Blu's NAD+ therapy program is designed for patients seeking support for energy production, cognitive performance, recovery, and healthy aging.

NAD+ and Aging: The Cellular Link to Energy and Longevity
Aging is often thought of as something that happens on the surface—wrinkles, slower metabolism, reduced energy. But the real story begins much deeper, inside your cells. One of the most important drivers of how your body ages is a molecule called NAD+.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-care and post-care answers for NAD+ therapy at Body Blu.

We recommend eating a light meal beforehand and staying well hydrated, since this can help minimize any temporary lightheadedness after the injection. Let our team know about any current medications or health conditions so your dosing strategy can be adjusted accordingly.

The injection itself is quick, similar to a B12 shot, but your first visit typically takes about 20 to 25 minutes since you'll be asked to stay for a short observation period of 10 to 15 minutes afterward. This lets our team confirm you're feeling well before you head out.

NAD+ therapy is generally well tolerated, though some people notice mild, short-lived effects such as nausea, head pressure, flushing, or a temporary increase in heart rate. These effects most often happen when NAD+ is introduced too quickly, so our team starts with controlled doses and adjusts your dosing pace to help keep you comfortable throughout your visit.

Frequency depends on your goals, whether that's an initial recovery series or ongoing maintenance for energy and longevity. We'll recommend a schedule as part of your personalized plan and adjust it based on how you respond.

Yes, many patients pair NAD+ with complementary therapies such as B12 injections or peptide therapy as part of a broader wellness plan. We'll review your full treatment picture to make sure everything works together safely.

We generally recommend avoiding alcohol and staying well hydrated for the rest of the day following your session. Light activity is fine, but give your body time to fully absorb the benefits of treatment.

Many patients report feeling more alert and clear-headed within the first few days after a session, while others notice more gradual changes over a few weeks of consistent therapy. We adjust your dose and frequency based on how you respond.

NAD+ is well tolerated by most people. At Body Blu, we don’t require an initial consultation or labs before beginning treatment. We review your questionnaire, consent forms, and health history before your first injection.

Yes. At Body Blu, NAD+ is offered only as an IM (intramuscular) injection. IM injections are quick, easy to manage, and typically have minimal to no unpleasant effects.
