About the drip

What NAD+ is

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It shuttles electrons in the reactions that turn food into usable energy and is a cofactor for several families of enzymes involved in DNA repair and cell signalling. NAD+ levels are known to fall with age, which is the observation that has driven interest in supplementing it.

NAD+ infusions are a different product from vitamin drips. The dose is larger, the infusion is much slower, and the experience is more noticeable: many people feel chest tightness, flushing, nausea or cramping if the drip runs too fast, which is why it is titrated slowly and why we allow up to four hours. This is not a lunch-break appointment.

We do not claim NAD+ infusions slow ageing, improve cognition or treat any condition. The human evidence for IV NAD+ in healthy adults is thin. What we provide is a pharmacy-prepared infusion, given carefully, for people who have decided they want it.

Ingredients

Two protocols

  • NAD+ 250mg, £230. The starting dose. Around two to three hours.
  • NAD+ 500mg, £380. The higher dose, usually for people who have tolerated 250mg. Around three to four hours.

Both are given in sterile saline. The prescriber will not offer 500mg as a first infusion.

Is it for you?

Who books it

People who have researched NAD+ and want it prepared and given in a regulated pharmacy clinic rather than at home or in an unregulated setting, people who have had NAD+ elsewhere and are looking for a provider closer to Woking, and clients of our other services who ask about it. If you are considering NAD+ for a health condition, speak to your GP or consultant first; we will ask.

Time and cost

Duration and price

Two to four hours depending on dose and how you tolerate the rate. £230 for 250mg, £380 for 500mg. Bring something to do, eat beforehand, and do not book anything immediately afterwards.

On the day

What to expect

  1. 1

    Settle in

    You will be seated in a reclining chair in a private treatment room.

  2. 2

    The cannula

    A trained clinician inserts a small cannula, usually into the arm or hand, and connects the infusion. Most people describe a small scratch and nothing more.

  3. 3

    The drip

    You are free to read, work or rest while the drip runs. We check on you throughout.

  4. 4

    Afterwards

    We stay with you for a short period afterwards. You can drive, work and carry on with your day immediately.

For this infusion: NAD+ is infused much more slowly than a vitamin drip. If you feel pressure in your chest, flushing or nausea, say so straight away; the clinician will slow or pause the drip and the feeling settles within minutes. These effects are common and expected, and are the reason we stay in the room.

Before you book

Safety and suitability

Every IV infusion at FastHeal Clinic Woking starts with a consultation and health screening. A prescriber reviews your medical history, current medicines and any allergies before anything is prepared. Some people should not have an IV nutrient infusion, including anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, anyone with kidney disease, heart failure, or certain metabolic conditions, and anyone under 18. If we are not confident an infusion is appropriate for you, we will say so and suggest an alternative.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What does an NAD+ drip feel like?

Different from a vitamin drip. Chest tightness, warmth and mild nausea are common when the rate is too fast, and slowing the drip resolves them. Most people describe the session as tiring rather than painful.

Is IV better than NAD+ tablets or NMN?

IV delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream. Whether that translates into higher NAD+ inside cells, and whether that matters for a healthy person, is not settled. Oral precursors such as NMN and NR have their own evidence base and are far cheaper. We are happy to talk through the trade-offs.

How many sessions do people have?

There is no established protocol. Some clinics sell courses of several infusions; we do not push that. Book one, see how you tolerate it, and discuss next steps with the prescriber.
