NAD+ Infusions
Boost your energy, improve brain function, and support healthy ageing with our bespoke NAD⁺ IV Therapy. NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a powerful coenzyme found in every cell, essential for energy production, DNA repair, and overall cellular health. As NAD⁺ levels decline with age, topping them up can improve focus, reduce fatigue, and support longevity. Each IV drip is prescribed by a doctor after a full consultation, ensuring it’s safe and tailored to your needs. Experience the benefits of NAD⁺ in a relaxed, clinical environment, with expert care from our medical team in Bedford.
What is NAD+ ?
NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a key role in cellular metabolism, particularly in redox reactions, where it acts as an electron carrier. NAD⁺ exists in two forms:
- NAD⁺ (oxidized form) – Accepts electrons.
- NADH (reduced form) – Donates electrons.

NAD⁺ and Aging
As we age, NAD⁺ levels decline, which is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased energy production, and age-related diseases. This has led to interest in NAD⁺ precursors like NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) and NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) as supplements to boost NAD⁺ levels.
Every drip we do at The Medic Clinic is bespoke and prescribed by a Doctor after a full medical consultation in which your medical history, allergies and requirements are reviewed. NAD+ can sometimes be uncomfortable to receive through IV, our expert nurses can control the flow of the IV to minimise any discomfort.
We also strongly recommend that you have something to eat beforehand, so you are not receiving the IV on an empty stomach.
Functions of NAD⁺
- Energy Production: NAD⁺ is essential in cellular respiration, helping convert food into ATP via glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
- DNA Repair: It activates enzymes like PARPs (poly ADP-ribose polymerases), which help repair damaged DNA.
- Sirtuin Activation: NAD⁺ is required by sirtuins, proteins involved in aging, metabolism, and stress resistance.
- Redox Reactions: It helps maintain cellular balance by transferring electrons between molecules.
Is NAD+ IV Therapy safe?
Yes, NAD+ IV Therapy is completely safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional, Effect Doctors prioritise safety by conducting a full medical consultation in which your medical history, allergies and requirements are reviewed before any treatment is carried out.

What are the Health Benefits of NAD⁺ Boosting?
Increasing your NAD+ levels can have significant health benefits, as it plays a crucial role in energy production, cell function, and even DNA repair. This leads to benefits towards slowing down aging, boosting metabolism, and improving mental clarity and brain power. People have reported that they see cosmetic differences and noticed they feel more energized after just one session. The NAD+ infusion at our clinic in Bedford can help lead many different types of people live longer and fuller lives, improving quality of life greatly.
Energy & Metabolism Boost
- NAD⁺ helps mitochondria (the powerhouses of the cell) produce ATP (energy).
- Higher NAD⁺ levels can reduce fatigue and improve endurance.
- Beneficial for conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and age-related energy decline.
Who benefits? Athletes, older adults, people with fatigue
Anti-Aging & Longevity
- Activates sirtuins, proteins that regulate aging, stress resistance, and DNA repair.
- Supports DNA repair enzymes (PARPs), which fix genetic damage.
- Protects telomeres (caps on chromosomes that shorten with age).
- Low NAD⁺ levels are linked to aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Who benefits? Those looking to slow aging and maintain cellular health
Brain Function & Neuroprotection
- Enhances cognitive function by protecting neurons and improving mitochondrial health.
- May help prevent or slow Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases.
- Improves focus, memory, and mental clarity.
- Some studies suggest it may help with depression and anxiety due to its role in neurotransmitter balance.
Who benefits? Students, professionals, adults, those at risk of neurodegeneration
Improved Muscle Function & Recovery
- Boosts muscle endurance and strength by improving mitochondrial function.
- Enhances post-workout recovery and reduces oxidative stress.
- May help prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia)
Who benefits? Athletes, bodybuilders, aging individuals
Heart Health & Blood Circulation
- Supports blood vessel function and flexibility, reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
- Helps lower inflammation and oxidative stress in blood vessels.
- May lower high blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels.
Who benefits? People with high blood pressure, heart disease risk, or poor circulation
Immune System Support & Inflammation Reduction
- Boosts immune function, making the body more resistant to infections.
- Lowers chronic inflammation, which is linked to aging and diseases like arthritis.
- May help with autoimmune conditions by improving cellular repair.
Who benefits?
Those with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or frequent infections
Skin Health & Anti-Aging Effects
- Increases collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
- Protects skin cells from UV damage and oxidative stress.
- May help with skin conditions like eczema and acne by supporting cellular repair.
Who benefits?
Those looking for youthful skin, people with skin conditions
Potential Benefits for Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders
- Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
- May help prevent or manage type 2 diabetes by reducing inflammation in fat cells.
- Supports weight loss by boosting metabolism and fat oxidation.
Who benefits?
People with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic issues
IV Drip Procedure
The NAD+ IV drip session typically lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the dosage and individual response. During the session, you can relax in a comfortable environment, read, or use your electronic devices.
NAD⁺ Contraindications & Potential Risks
While NAD⁺ and its precursors (NR, NMN, Niacin) are generally considered safe, there are certain situations where caution is advised.
❌ People with active or past cancer (consult a doctor first)
❌ Those with autoimmune disorders (may affect immune response)
❌ People on blood pressure medication (risk of hypotension)
❌ Those with liver disease (avoid high-dose Niacin)
❌ Pregnant or breastfeeding women (lack of safety data)
Cancer Risk (Potential Concern)
- If you have a history of cancer or tumors, consult a doctor before taking NAD⁺ boosters.
Autoimmune Disorders & Overactive Immune System
- NAD⁺ influences immune function and may activate immune cells.
- People with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis should be cautious, as NAD⁺ could potentially worsen inflammation in some cases.
Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension)
- NAD⁺ can improve blood circulation and may slightly lower blood pressure.
- If you already have low blood pressure or take blood pressure medications, NAD⁺ supplementation might increase the risk of dizziness or fainting.
Liver Issues (High-Dose Niacin Risk)
- High doses of Niacin (Vitamin B3) (1,000+ mg/day) can cause liver toxicity over time.
- NR and NMN do not have this risk but should still be taken in recommended doses.
Flushing & Skin Reactions (Niacin-Related)
- Niacin (nicotinic acid) supplements can cause a "niacin flush", leading to redness, tingling, and warmth in the skin.
- NR and NMN do not cause flushing but can be alternatives for those sensitive to Niacin.
Sleep Disturbances (Potential Insomnia)
- NAD⁺ affects circadian rhythms, and taking high doses too late in the day may cause restlessness or trouble sleeping.
- Best to take NAD⁺ boosters in the morning or early afternoon.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
- There is limited research on NAD⁺ supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Until more studies confirm safety, it’s best to avoid NAD⁺ boosters unless prescribed by a doctor.
