What if you could slow down the ageing process at a cellular level? What if there was a way to restore the energy, mental clarity, and vitality you had in your younger years? This is not science fiction—it is the promise of NAD+ therapy, one of the most exciting developments in longevity medicine.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body, essential for hundreds of metabolic processes. As we age, our NAD+ levels decline dramatically—by age 50, we have about half the NAD+ we had at 20. This decline is now recognised as a key driver of ageing and age-related diseases.
At IMAGE Clinic, we are proud to offer NAD+ IV therapy as part of our IMAGE 2026 Longevity vertical—bringing cutting-edge anti-ageing medicine to Kolkata. With over 67,992 patients treated, we are committed to helping you not just look younger, but feel younger from the inside out.

What Is NAD+ and Why Is It Important?
NAD+ is a coenzyme present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in:
- Energy production: NAD+ is essential for converting food into cellular energy (ATP)
- DNA repair: Helps repair damaged DNA, preventing mutations and cellular dysfunction
- Gene expression: Activates sirtuins, proteins that regulate ageing and longevity
- Cellular communication: Facilitates signalling between cells
- Circadian rhythm: Helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle
Without adequate NAD+, your cells cannot function optimally. They produce less energy, accumulate more damage, and age faster.
The NAD+ Decline Problem
Research shows that NAD+ levels decline significantly with age:
- By age 40: NAD+ levels drop by approximately 50%
- By age 60: Levels may be as low as 25% of youthful levels
- This decline accelerates with stress, poor sleep, alcohol, and chronic illness
This NAD+ decline is now considered a hallmark of ageing, contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, weakened immunity, and increased disease risk.
How Does NAD+ IV Therapy Work?
NAD+ IV therapy delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide directly into your bloodstream through an intravenous infusion. This method bypasses the digestive system, ensuring 100% bioavailability—meaning your cells receive the full dose.
The Process:
- NAD+ is administered through a slow IV drip
- Sessions typically last 2-4 hours, depending on dosage
- The NAD+ enters your bloodstream and is taken up by cells throughout your body
- Inside cells, it immediately begins supporting mitochondrial function and DNA repair
Why IV Delivery?
While oral NAD+ supplements exist, they have very low bioavailability—most of the NAD+ is broken down in the digestive system before reaching your cells. IV therapy delivers NAD+ directly where it is needed, providing immediate and measurable benefits.
Benefits of NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ therapy offers a wide range of benefits that address ageing at its root cause—cellular dysfunction.
1. Increased Energy and Reduced Fatigue
NAD+ is essential for ATP production—the energy currency of your cells. Many patients report a significant boost in physical and mental energy after NAD+ infusions, often describing it as feeling 10-15 years younger.
2. Enhanced Mental Clarity and Focus
Brain cells are particularly energy-hungry and sensitive to NAD+ levels. NAD+ therapy can help improve cognitive function, including memory, concentration, and mental processing speed. Many patients experience reduced brain fog within days of treatment.
3. Anti-Ageing at the Cellular Level
NAD+ activates sirtuins—proteins often called “longevity genes” that help repair DNA, reduce inflammation, and protect against age-related cellular damage. This complements external anti-ageing treatments by addressing ageing from within.
4. Improved Metabolism and Weight Management
NAD+ plays a key role in metabolic function. Restoring optimal levels can help improve metabolic efficiency, support healthy weight management, and enhance the body’s ability to burn fat for energy.
5. Better Sleep Quality
NAD+ helps regulate circadian rhythms—your body’s internal clock. Many patients report improved sleep quality, an easier time falling asleep, and feeling more refreshed upon waking.
6. Enhanced Athletic Performance and Recovery
Athletes and fitness enthusiasts use NAD+ therapy to improve endurance, reduce recovery time, and maintain peak performance. NAD+ supports muscle function and helps clear metabolic waste products that cause fatigue and soreness.
7. Mood Enhancement
By supporting neurotransmitter function and reducing inflammation in the brain, NAD+ therapy may help improve mood, reduce anxiety, and support overall mental well-being.
8. Addiction Recovery Support
NAD+ therapy has shown promise in supporting recovery from alcohol and substance addiction by helping restore brain chemistry, reducing cravings, and alleviating withdrawal symptoms.

What to Expect During NAD+ IV Therapy
Before Your Session:
- Initial consultation to assess your health status and goals
- Blood work may be recommended to establish baseline markers
- Eat a light meal and stay hydrated before your appointment
- Discuss any medications or supplements you are taking
During the Infusion:
- You will relax in a comfortable setting
- An IV line is placed, and NAD+ is slowly infused
- Sessions last 2-4 hours, depending on dosage
- You may experience warmth, tingling, or mild nausea (normal and temporary)
- Many patients read, work on laptops, or rest during the infusion
After Your Session:
- Most patients feel energised within 24-48 hours
- Mental clarity often improves within the first week
- Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to maximise benefits
- Benefits accumulate with a series of treatments
NAD+ Treatment Protocols
The ideal NAD+ protocol depends on your goals, health status, and response to treatment. Here are common approaches:
| Protocol | Sessions | Frequency | Best For |
| Introductory | 1-2 sessions | Single or weekly | First-timers, wellness boost |
| Anti-Ageing | 4-6 sessions | Weekly then monthly | Longevity, cellular repair |
| Performance | 3-4 sessions | Weekly | Athletes, high performers |
| Intensive | 5-10 sessions | Daily for 5-10 days | Addiction recovery, chronic fatigue |
| Maintenance | Ongoing | Monthly | Sustained benefits |
Your doctor will recommend the best protocol based on your individual needs and goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals:
- Adults over 35 looking to slow the ageing process
- Those experiencing chronic fatigue or low energy
- People with brain fog, memory issues, or difficulty concentrating
- Athletes seeking performance enhancement and faster recovery
- Individuals recovering from illness or surgery
- Those interested in preventive longevity medicine

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How quickly will I feel the effects of NAD+ therapy?
Many patients notice increased energy and mental clarity within 24-48 hours of their first infusion. However, optimal benefits typically develop over a series of treatments as cellular NAD+ levels are restored.
Q2: Is NAD+ therapy painful?
The IV insertion involves a small needle prick, similar to any blood draw. During the infusion, some patients experience warmth, tingling, or mild nausea, which is normal and typically resolves by slowing the infusion rate.
Q3: How long do the effects of NAD+ therapy last?
Effects can last several weeks to months, depending on the individual. Regular maintenance infusions (typically monthly) help sustain benefits long-term.
Q4: Can I take oral NAD+ supplements instead?
Oral supplements like NMN and NR are NAD+ precursors that can help, but they have much lower bioavailability than IV NAD+. IV therapy delivers NAD+ directly to your cells for immediate and more pronounced effects.
Q5: Are there any side effects?
NAD+ therapy is generally well-tolerated. Possible temporary side effects include warmth, flushing, nausea, or mild headache during infusion. These typically resolve quickly and can be minimised by adjusting the infusion rate.
