NAD+ in Houston, with the honesty it deserves.

Sharper focus, faster recovery, and the energy you remember having, delivered as a slow IV infusion or injection, with honest guidance on what NAD+ does well and where the evidence is still catching up.

What is NAD+

A molecule central to every cell's energy production.

NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every living cell, required for cellular energy production and repair signaling. Levels decline with age, and that decline tracks with the same processes behind fatigue, slower recovery, and reduced sharpness. That part is established biology.

What's less established is how reliably raising NAD+ through IV or injection translates into every outcome it gets marketed for. Patient-reported effects on focus, recovery, and energy are real and consistent in our experience, and worth taking seriously. Formal trial data for these routes is thinner than the marketing implies, and we tell you that before your first session, not after.

That's why we run NAD+ as a clinical intervention: a defined initial series agreed upfront, slow infusions that are actually tolerable, and an honest reassessment at the end. Not a recurring monthly membership.

The evidence map

What's established, what's emerging, what's marketing.

NAD+ sits at an unusual place in medicine: well-characterized biology, real clinical experience, and marketing that often runs ahead of the trial data. Here's how we sort it with every patient.

Established

The cellular biology

NAD+ is essential to how your cells produce energy and manage repair, and levels decline with age. High confidence, well characterized.

Emerging

Focus, energy, recovery

The most consistent patient-reported effects: clarity during and after sessions, better-feeling recovery, more engagement. Encouraging, honestly framed as experience rather than trial endpoints.

Limited

Sweeping longevity claims

You'll see NAD+ marketed as an anti-aging intervention. We don't position it that way, because the trial data doesn't support the claim yet. We position it as a near-term clinical tool for the right patient.

Delivery

Slow by design

Fast infusions cause flushing and nausea. A properly run session takes 60 to 120 minutes and is well tolerated. The time is part of the protocol.

Fit

Extends what's working

NAD+ delivers the most for patients whose sleep, training, and stress foundations are already solid. If those are broken, we fix those first.

Structure

Defined series, honest exit

A typical initial series is 5 to 10 sessions, agreed upfront. If there's no meaningful response partway through, we have an honest conversation instead of continuing to bill.

Realistic expectations

What it can, and can't, do.

Setting expectations honestly is part of the work. Here's the straight version.

What NAD+ may help with

  • Focus and mental clarity, often noticeable during and shortly after sessions
  • Better-feeling recovery from training, hard work, or travel in many patients
  • A real, patient-reported sense of energy that lasts days to weeks for responders
  • A layer on top of solid foundations for patients with high demands
  • Good tolerability when run as a slow infusion under provider oversight
  • A defined, time-limited series rather than an open-ended commitment

What it can't do

  • Replace sleep, training, nutrition, or stress management, which all raise NAD+ on their own
  • Deliver anti-aging outcomes the formal trial data doesn't support
  • Work for everyone: some patients report no meaningful effect
  • Be run safely as a fast push: slow infusion is non-negotiable
  • Fit every history: certain conditions are screened out at consult
  • Be cheap: the cost is real, and we'll say so if we don't think it's worth it for you

How it works

From consultation to plan, in real medicine.

NAD+ here looks different from a drip lounge: a real consult, a focused baseline check, slow infusions, a defined series, and an honest reassessment.

Day 1 · 45 min

Consultation

In person at our Houston clinic. What you're hoping NAD+ will address, what's supported, what's not, and whether a series makes sense for you.

Days 2 to 4

Focused baseline

A focused panel to confirm you're appropriate for the protocol, drawn in our office. Not a full workup unless your picture calls for one.

First session

Slow infusion

60 to 120 minutes for a first IV session, run slow for comfort. Injection protocols are an option for maintenance between sessions.

Initial series

Defined cycle

Typically 5 to 10 sessions over several weeks, agreed upfront so you know the full commitment before starting.

After the series

Honest reassessment

Did it work, and was it worth it? Some patients maintain periodically, some stop, some pivot. We recommend what fits, not what renews.

Before you book

Questions everyone asks.

How much does NAD+ therapy cost in Houston?
The initial consultation is $99 for a targeted consult or $349 comprehensive. Session pricing depends on dose and route and is defined upfront for the whole series, so you know the total commitment before starting.
Why does the infusion take so long?
Fast NAD+ infusions cause flushing, nausea, and chest tightness. Slow infusions are well tolerated. Clinics that rush you through in 30 minutes aren't giving you a better experience, they're giving you a worse one.
How is this different from the IV bar down the street?
An IV bar delivers a fixed wellness experience, often without meaningful oversight. We deliver NAD+ as a clinical intervention: provider-supervised, screened, defined series, honest reassessment. The medical model is the difference.
Is NAD+ FDA-approved?
NAD+ for these uses is a compounded preparation, not an FDA-approved medication, and we're upfront about that and about where the evidence stands. Your provider walks through it plainly before you decide anything.
Will it work for me?
Honestly: response varies. Many patients report meaningful effects on focus, energy, and recovery; some don't. That's why the series is defined upfront with a real checkpoint, so you're never paying indefinitely for something that isn't working.

The next step

Start with a conversation, not an infusion.

A consultation at our Houston clinic. We'll discuss what NAD+ does well, where the evidence is still catching up, and decide together whether it fits.
