NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell that helps convert food into the energy your cells run on and supports DNA repair and metabolism. NAD+ IV therapy delivers it directly into the bloodstream, where some patients report improved energy, focus, and recovery. At Viva Medical Center in Doral, NAD+ is administered as a slow, closely monitored infusion by trained medical staff under physician supervision — never as a walk-up spa drip. It is important to be straightforward: NAD+ IV therapy is an emerging treatment, and the research is still early, so we do not promise specific outcomes. What we do provide is a careful medical evaluation first, individualized dosing, and full clinical oversight so the infusion is as safe as possible. Call (305) 209-0001 to see whether NAD+ IV therapy is appropriate for you.
What NAD+ Is and What It Does
NAD+ is a coenzyme your body makes naturally. Levels tend to decline with age, which is part of why NAD+ has drawn interest in longevity medicine.
- Helps mitochondria turn nutrients into cellular energy (ATP)
- Supports DNA repair and normal cellular metabolism
- Acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in healthy aging pathways
- Naturally produced in the body and obtained from precursors in food
- Declines gradually with age, stress, and illness
What NAD+ IV Therapy May Help With
Patients pursue NAD+ for several reasons. Evidence is still developing, so we describe these as goals patients report — not guaranteed results.
- Low energy and persistent fatigue not explained by another condition
- Mental clarity and focus during high-stress periods
- Recovery support alongside a broader wellness or fitness plan
- Healthy-aging and longevity goals
- Adjunct support in supervised recovery programs (as part of a medical plan, not a standalone treatment)
What the Evidence Actually Shows
We believe in honest information for a treatment this new. Here is the current picture so you can decide with clear expectations.
- NAD+'s role in cellular energy and metabolism is well established in basic science
- Large, high-quality human trials of NAD+ IV therapy for energy, aging, or addiction are still limited
- Most reported benefits are from small studies and patient experience, not definitive trials
- NAD+ IV therapy is not FDA-approved to treat, cure, or prevent any disease
- We will tell you plainly what is known and unknown before you start
How a NAD+ Infusion Works at Viva Medical Center
NAD+ must be infused slowly — too fast and patients feel flushing, chest tightness, or nausea. Our protocol is built around comfort and safety.
- Medical evaluation and review of your history, medications, and goals first
- Individualized dose selected by the physician — there is no one-size drip
- Slow infusion over roughly 60 to 90 minutes, sometimes longer for higher doses
- Infusion rate adjusted in real time if you feel flushing or discomfort
- Continuous monitoring by clinical staff for the full session
- On-site emergency capability — crash cart, oxygen, and trained staff
Who Is — and Isn't — a Candidate
A physician evaluation is required before your first NAD+ session. Some patients should not receive NAD+ IV therapy.
- Generally considered for healthy adults pursuing energy or longevity goals
- Not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Caution or avoidance with significant kidney disease
- Caution or avoidance with severe heart conditions
- Not recommended with active cancer unless cleared by your oncologist
- Always disclose every medication and supplement so we can screen for interactions
NAD+ IV vs. Oral NAD+ Precursors
Oral supplements such as NR and NMN are precursors the body converts toward NAD+. They differ from an IV infusion in important ways.
- IV NAD+ bypasses digestion for higher immediate bioavailability
- Oral precursors are convenient and lower cost but absorb more variably
- IV sessions are supervised; oral supplements are unsupervised and unregulated
- Some patients use oral precursors between supervised IV sessions
- Your physician can help you decide which approach fits your goals and budget

How much does NAD+ IV therapy cost in Miami?
At Viva Medical Center in Doral, our NAD+ 1000mg longevity protocol is $649 per session, and lower-dose NAD+ sessions are available at a lower cost.

Is NAD+ IV therapy safe?
NAD+ IV therapy is generally well tolerated when administered slowly by trained medical staff. The most common side effects are a warm flushing sensation, chest tightness, or mild nausea, which resolve when the infusion rate is reduced. Because dosing must be individualized, we require a physician evaluation before your first session. Patients who are pregnant or who have significant kidney disease, severe heart conditions, or active cancer are typically not candidates.
How long does a NAD+ infusion take?
Most NAD+ infusions run 60 to 90 minutes, and higher doses can take longer. NAD+ must be infused slowly to avoid flushing and discomfort, so we never rush it. You stay in a comfortable recliner under continuous monitoring for the entire session.
How often should I get NAD+ IV therapy?
Frequency depends on your goals and how you respond. Some patients begin with a short series of sessions over a few weeks, then move to occasional maintenance. Your physician will recommend a schedule based on your evaluation rather than a fixed package, and many patients start at a lower dose to assess tolerance first.
Does NAD+ really help with energy and aging?
NAD+'s role in cellular energy and metabolism is well established in basic science, and many patients report improved energy and clarity. However, large high-quality human trials are still limited, and NAD+ IV therapy is not FDA-approved to treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We will give you an honest picture of what is and isn't proven before you start.
Is NAD+ IV therapy available in Spanish?
Yes. Viva Medical Center is a fully bilingual clinic in Doral serving all of Miami-Dade, and your NAD+ evaluation and infusion are provided in both English and Spanish.
