NAD+ IV vs. Injections in Lee's Summit: Which One Fits You?

3 days ago

2 min read

Tired of running on empty? NAD+ has become one of the most-searched wellness treatments in Kansas City, and the first question most people ask is simple: should I get it by IV or by injection? Here is an honest, local guide to how each option works at Illumé Med Spa & Wellness Center in Lee's Summit.

What is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell. Your body uses it in normal cellular energy metabolism, and levels vary from person to person. NAD+ therapy delivers it directly, without passing through digestion. Research on NAD+ therapy is still developing, so a good clinic keeps expectations realistic.

NAD+ IV therapy: the longer, relaxed visit

A slow IV infusion in our Lee's Summit studio, monitored by a licensed clinician.
Most NAD+ infusions take 2 to 4 hours, slower than a standard hydration drip.
A larger dose in one visit, with the pace adjusted to your comfort.
A good fit if you can block off an afternoon and prefer fewer, longer visits.

NAD+ injections: quick and on a schedule

A small subcutaneous injection that takes minutes.
Smaller doses on a more frequent schedule.
A good fit if you can't spare an afternoon in a chair.

Side effects to know about

Some people feel nausea, warmth, cramping, congestion or chest pressure during an NAD+ infusion, often when it runs too fast. That is why we start slowly and check in throughout your visit. Tell your clinician right away if you feel uncomfortable, and the infusion can be slowed, paused and evaluated.

Is NAD+ FDA-approved?

NAD+ at Illumé is a compounded preparation. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and no NAD+ injectable is approved for wellness use. NAD+ is prescribed by a licensed provider after a health history review, it is not a treatment for any disease, and individual results vary.

Who is a good candidate?

You may be a fit if you're a healthy adult who feels run down, foggy or burned out and wants a clinician-guided wellness option. Pregnancy, some heart conditions and certain medications need a closer look, so we review your history before any session.

What does NAD+ cost in Lee's Summit?

Pricing depends on the dose and the format you choose. Your clinician gives you an exact price before anything starts, and CareCredit financing is available, subject to credit approval.

Pair it with the rest of your wellness plan

Many wellness clients combine NAD+ with an IV hydration drip, a B-12 injection or a peptide plan. Your clinician will tell you what pairs well, and what doesn't, for you.
