NAD+ Therapy
Sharper focus. Consistent energy. A body that recovers the way it should.
Your cells run on NAD+. When those levels drop, the effects show up everywhere: in your energy, your focus, how quickly you recover, and how your body responds to the effort you are already putting in. NAD+ therapy is a clinically supervised, injectable protocol designed to replenish those levels and support the cellular pathways behind how your body produces and uses energy.
At Absolute Wellness and Aesthetics, our licensed nurse practitioners build every NAD+ protocol around your specific goals and health picture, so what you leave with is a plan grounded in your biology and your life.
- Four protocol options tailored to your starting point and goals
- Protocols for energy support, mental clarity, recovery, and healthy aging
- HSA, CareCredit, PatientFi, and Cherry financing available
What Is NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ is not a supplement. It is a supervised clinical protocol that works with your body’s own biology to restore what time and stress have taken away.
Think of NAD+ as the fuel behind your fuel. It is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body that drives the process of turning what you eat and do into actual energy. When your levels are where they should be, everything works better: sharper focus, faster recovery, more consistent energy through the day. When they drop (and they do drop with age and chronic stress), you feel it in ways that are hard to explain but impossible to ignore.
NAD+ subcutaneous injection replenishes those levels by delivering NAD+ directly beneath the skin, where it absorbs steadily into your system over time. It is a practical, comfortable protocol that fits into your routine, and while the clinical evidence is still developing, it is grounded in real biology. For patients who feel like their body is not keeping up, it is a real place to start.
How NAD+ Subcutaneous Injections Work
Your provider cleans a small area of skin (usually the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm), delivers a precise NAD+ dose into the tissue just beneath the surface, and rotates the site each session to keep things comfortable. The injection takes only a few minutes, appointments are brief, and there is no downtime. Side effects are uncommon and tend to be mild when they do occur: brief soreness at the site, a temporary headache, or a little warmth. NAD+ absorbs gradually into circulation from there, and your provider tracks your response and adjusts your protocol as you go, keeping the plan aligned with where you are and where you are headed.
NAD+ Protocol Options
Starter or Loading Protocol
New to NAD+ therapy? A loading phase front-loads your sessions to build a strong cellular foundation quickly, then transitions into a sustainable maintenance rhythm.
Maintenance Protocol
Already have a baseline in place? Maintenance keeps your NAD+ levels supported consistently over time, without the intensity of a starting phase.
Low-Dose Microdosing
Prefer to ease in? Smaller, more frequent doses offer a gentle entry point for patients who want steady replenishment on a conservative timeline.
Combination Approach
Want more from your protocol? Pair subcutaneous injections with IV infusion or other Absolute Wellness therapies for a comprehensive plan built around your specific goals.
Not sure which protocol fits?
A consultation is the clearest first step. One of our licensed nurse practitioners will review your goals and point you in the right direction.
Who NAD+ Therapy Is Designed to Support
NAD+ therapy is a practical fit for patients whose body is not keeping pace with the effort they are already putting in. That tends to show up as persistent low energy that rest does not resolve, mental fogginess that makes it harder to focus or retain information, recovery from exercise or stress that takes longer than it used to, or a general sense that something is off even when nothing is technically wrong. Patients focused on healthy aging and cellular wellness also find it relevant, particularly those who are already taking care of themselves and want to support the biological processes that sustain those results over time.
It is not a treatment for a specific condition, and it is not a substitute for addressing underlying health issues. If your fatigue or cognitive changes are significant or have not been evaluated recently, that is worth bringing up before starting any new protocol. NAD+ therapy works best as a complement to a health picture that is already being managed thoughtfully.
What to Expect From Treatment
Results vary, and a provider who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. Some patients notice a meaningful shift in energy or clarity after their first few sessions. Others experience a more gradual build across several weeks of consistent treatment. Protocol length, dosing, individual response, and what else is going on in your health picture all factor into when and how much you notice.
NAD+ therapy is a cumulative protocol, not a one-session fix. Consistent adherence to the recommended frequency matters more than any single session, because the goal is to build and maintain replenishment over time rather than spike it briefly. Your provider will check in on your response and adjust the plan if the trajectory is not where it should be.
Why Absolute Wellness and Aesthetics
Every NAD+ protocol at Absolute Wellness and Aesthetics is overseen by a licensed, NPI-credentialed nurse practitioner, which matters when you are introducing a clinical injectable into a regular health routine. Lisa Mobley Mullis, FNP-C, founded Absolute in 2009 on the belief that women deserve care that addresses the full picture, and providers Kalie M. Bush, FNP-C, and Beth Crumpler, FNP-C, uphold that standard in every consultation. Protocols are built around your individual goals and health history, documented and monitored across your course of treatment, and adjusted when your response calls for it. HSA funds, CareCredit, Patient Fi, and Cherry financing make it straightforward to move forward.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions About NAD+ Therapy
How is NAD+ subcutaneous injection different from an IV infusion?
The main difference is how NAD+ enters your system. Intravenous infusion delivers it directly into your bloodstream for rapid, high-dose delivery, which can produce a stronger immediate effect but also requires longer chair time, vein access, and a more intensive experience overall. Subcutaneous injection goes into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin, where it absorbs gradually into circulation. The absorption curve is gentler, the appointments are shorter, and the format suits patients who want consistent ongoing support as part of a regular protocol rather than periodic high-dose sessions.
Is NAD+ therapy the same as taking an NAD+ supplement?
They are not the same thing. Oral NAD+ precursor supplements like NMN or NR pass through your digestive system before reaching circulation, and how much actually absorbs depends heavily on your individual gut function and metabolism. Subcutaneous injection bypasses the digestive process and delivers NAD+ into tissue directly, where absorption into circulation is more reliable. Supplements are not useless, but the delivery mechanism is fundamentally different, and patients who have tried supplementation without noticing much effect may find that injectable delivery produces a more consistent result.
Can NAD+ therapy be combined with other treatments at Absolute Wellness?
Yes, and for many patients a combination approach produces a more complete result. NAD+ therapy pairs particularly well with [peptide therapy](link to /peptide-therapy) for patients focused on recovery, energy, and cellular health, and it can complement hormone optimization work when fatigue or cognitive changes are part of a broader hormonal picture. Your provider will review your full health profile at your consultation and build a sequencing plan around your goals rather than recommending services independently of one another.
I have been exhausted for months and nothing has helped. Could this actually make a difference?
Possibly, but it depends on what is behind the fatigue. Persistent, unresolved exhaustion has a range of potential causes, and some of them need to be evaluated before starting a new protocol. NAD+ therapy works best as a complement to a health picture that is already being actively managed, not as a workaround for something that has not been looked at yet. The most useful first step is a consultation with one of our providers so they can review your history and help you figure out whether NAD+ fits where you are, and whether there is anything else worth addressing alongside it.
What is the difference between a loading protocol and a maintenance protocol?
A loading protocol is for patients who are starting NAD+ therapy fresh or who want to establish a stronger foundation of replenishment before settling into a lower-frequency rhythm. It typically involves more sessions early in the protocol, which then taper into maintenance once the initial goal has been reached. A maintenance protocol is designed for patients who have completed a loading phase or who want steady, ongoing cellular support without the intensity of a front-loaded course. Your provider will recommend which makes sense based on your goals and where you are starting from.
How long does a NAD+ injection appointment actually take?
The injection itself takes only a few minutes. A full appointment at Absolute Wellness includes a brief check-in, any consent or protocol review, the injection, and time to answer questions, so the total visit is typically short. Your initial consultation will run longer because it involves a thorough review of your health history and goals before any protocol is recommended.
Does insurance cover NAD+ therapy?
NAD+ therapy is not covered by traditional health insurance, as it falls outside current reimbursement guidelines for most plans. HSA funds can often be applied, and Absolute Wellness offers financing through CareCredit, Patient Fi, and Cherry for patients who want to spread the cost of a multi-session protocol over time. Your provider will review specific pricing at your consultation once the right protocol has been determined for your goals.
