NAD+ IV Drip
in Dubai
NAD+ is a molecule your cells use to release energy from food. Our NAD+ infusion supplies the molecule itself for people considering it as part of their wellbeing care.
NAD+ and the energy inside your cells
Everyday cell activity depends on chemical reactions that release energy from food. NAD+ helps those reactions take place and also supports normal cell maintenance. These roles explain the interest in NAD+ within wellbeing research.
An NAD+ drip supplies the molecule itself. It is a different treatment from a vitamin mixture or an oral supplement that provides building blocks for NAD+. You can arrange an appointment at our Jumeira clinic through WhatsApp.
Questions
Questions before you book
Is NAD+ the same as a vitamin drip?
NAD+ is a molecule that helps cells carry out chemical reactions. Vitamin drips provide selected nutrients. The body uses some nutrients, including forms of vitamin B3, to make NAD+, but the two infusions are different treatments.
How long does the appointment take?
Allow around 90 to 150 minutes for the full visit. We confirm the appointment length when booking. Leave some flexibility afterwards because your response can affect the timing.
Do I need to book a course?
You can enquire about one appointment. Further visits are a separate decision based on the reason for treatment and your experience.
Your treatment team
At our clinic, this treatment is performed by the clinician below. Learn about their qualifications, area of practice, and role in your care.
Meet the full teamHow your body uses NAD+
Helping cells release energy
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme, which means it helps enzymes carry out chemical reactions. It carries electrons between reactions involved in releasing energy from food. Cells use that energy for their daily work.
A molecule the body makes and recycles
Your body continually makes, uses and recycles NAD+. It also works with enzymes involved in normal cell maintenance. This is why NAD+ appears in discussions about nutrition, metabolism and ageing.
From cell function to an infusion
The role of NAD+ inside cells is well established. An infusion is a separate treatment: research has not yet established reliable improvements in energy, concentration or lifespan from general wellbeing infusions. Our NAD+ guide explains the evidence in more detail.
NAD+, vitamin drips and oral supplements
NAD+ itself
An NAD+ infusion supplies the molecule directly into the bloodstream during a clinic visit.
Vitamin mixtures
A vitamin infusion contains the nutrients selected for that treatment. Its contents differ from an NAD+ infusion. The clinic explains the planned treatment before you consent.
Building blocks taken by mouth
Many NAD-related supplements contain substances the body can use to make NAD+. Nicotinamide riboside, or NR, is one example. These building blocks are often called precursors. They are different from NAD+ itself, and oral supplements follow a different route from an infusion.
What to expect during your NAD+ visit
A small cannula gives access to a vein while the infusion runs. You remain at the clinic with the team nearby. Tell staff promptly if you feel uncomfortable, so the infusion can be adjusted or stopped while they check your symptoms.
Afterwards, the cannula is removed and you receive aftercare instructions. Wait until you feel well before driving or returning to your usual activities. If persistent tiredness is your main concern, finding its cause is the useful first step before choosing an infusion.
Preparation and aftercare
Tell us about allergies, earlier infusion reactions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, heart or kidney conditions, and all medicines and supplements. Do not stop prescribed treatment without the prescriber’s advice.
Cannula placement can cause discomfort, bruising or infection. Tell staff immediately about pain, chills, nausea or feeling unwell during the drip. After treatment, contact the clinic about increasing redness, warmth, pain or discharge at the site.
Chest pain, breathing difficulty, collapse or a severe allergic reaction needs emergency care.
Questions
Preparation and recovery questions
Should I fast before treatment?
Follow the preparation instructions supplied for your visit. Tell us about food or fluid restrictions you already follow.
What should I bring?
Bring your medicine and supplement list and details of any previous infusion reaction.
What if I feel uncomfortable during the drip?
Tell the team immediately about pain, nausea, chills or any other discomfort. You do not need to wait until the end of the infusion.
