Quick Answer
Most people do best with NAD⁺ in the morning or early afternoon, on a day with time to relax and drink water. IVs can take 60–180 minutes. Injections are quicker. If you feel tightness or nausea during an IV, going slower usually helps. Always follow your clinician’s advice.
- Big day ahead? Book NAD⁺ the day before or morning of for focus and energy.
- Travel or jet lag? Try 1–2 days before or within 24–48 hours after you land.
- Workouts: It’s okay to work out on NAD⁺ days—before or after. Hydrate and adjust intensity as needed.

Best Times to Take NAD⁺
Morning or Early Afternoon
Many people feel more comfortable earlier in the day. You’re fresh, well-hydrated, and can notice how you feel. Afternoon is fine, too—just avoid starting so late that it affects sleep.
Before a Busy or Important Day
Presentations, exams, big meetings—some clients like NAD⁺ the day before or the same morning to support focus.
Around Travel
For long flights and time zones, NAD⁺ 1–2 days before travel or within 24–48 hours after landing is a common choice.
Training & Recovery
It’s okay to train on NAD⁺ days. Choose what fits: same day before training, same day after, or the day before. Hydrate, listen to your body, and dial back intensity if you feel off.
How Often Should I Take NAD⁺?
Frequency depends on your goals and how you respond. Some people do a short kickstart phase (more visits early), then move to a simple maintenance plan (for example, every few weeks). Your provider will help set the pace for you.
How to Prepare on Treatment Day
- Hydrate: drink water before and after. Electrolytes can help.
- Eat light: a small snack can help if you get queasy on an empty stomach.
- Plan time: IVs may take 60–180 minutes; injections are usually quick.
- Tell us how you feel: if you notice tightness, warmth, or nausea during IV, we can slow or pause the drip.
Who Should Be Careful?
- Active cancer: avoid NAD⁺ unless your oncology team explicitly approves and supervises care.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding: there isn’t enough research—avoid unless your clinician okays it.
- Serious heart or complex medical issues: talk with your provider first.
- Past reaction: tell your care team about any reactions to NAD⁺ or IVs.
