Does NAD IV Therapy Have Side Effects?

NAD IV therapy can help reduce symptoms of brain and body conditions and signs of aging. Many clients have reported feeling more like themselves following NAD therapy, even experiencing long-term health benefits.
At IV Elements, we want you to fully understand what NAD treatment is and what to expect — potential side effects included. Throughout the process, you can rest assured knowing that you are in good hands when you choose our team.
NAD IV Therapy Side Effects
Like with any type of IV therapy, NAD therapy can have some side effects — however, they remain mild. Some of the most common side effects include:
- Temporary nausea
- Stomach discomfort or cramping
- Brain fog
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
Additionally, you may experience side effects that can occur after any IV treatment. For example, some patients may experience redness, tenderness or bruising at the needle site — this is normal. If an infection begins to form, contact your doctor immediately.
What Causes Side Effects From NAD IV Therapy?
NAD injection side effects can be broken down into two categories — symptomatic and metabolic. While the symptomatic side effects are the most common and are listed above, metabolic side effects can happen at the cellular level.
NAD is already a naturally occurring coenzyme in your body, making low doses harmless. However, scientists are investigating the potential for high-dose side effects. This may happen if our body cannot fully absorb the new dose, creating a traffic jam and forcing the excess NAD to be stored elsewhere. In rat studies, high amounts of NAD have resulted in decreased insulin sensitivity.
How to Minimize Side Effects From IV Therapy
When getting a treatment that is supposed to help you feel your best, taking as many precautions as possible to minimize NAD therapy side effects is important. We advise that you follow these tips before your appointment:
- Provide an updated health history: Before receiving your IV, update your doctor with your current medications or supplements, as some may interfere with NAD treatment. Your genetic health history can also indicate if you will feel side effects more strongly than others.
- Drink plenty of water: Caffeine will dehydrate you and contract your veins, making it harder to start your IV. Instead, drink lots of water before your appointment, which will help reduce discomfort at the IV site during and after treatment.
- Stay comfortable: Staying comfortable will also help prevent NAD side effects. IV Elements can come to you to provide treatment in the comfort of your home, office or hotel room. We also ensure our IV drip lounges are cozy to help clients feel more at home.
