NAD+ IV Therapy: Boosting Cellular Energy and Cognitive Function
We experience less energy, our thinking gets “foggier,” and our bodies don’t recover as fast as they used to.
While many factors are at play, modern science has identified a “master molecule” at the center of this decline: NAD+.
You may have heard of it, but what is it? NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme, a “helper molecule” that is found in every single cell in your body. It is as essential to your life as oxygen or water.
At IRM Aesthetics, we believe in a holistic, “whole-body” approach to wellness. We see this as the future of aesthetic and regenerative medicine. NAD+ IV Therapy is one of the most advanced treatments we offer to help our patients fight aging at its very source: the cell.

What is NAD+? (A Simple Explanation)
If you think of your cell as a complex factory, NAD+ is the power that keeps the lights on and the machines running. Specifically, it has two critical jobs:
1. It Creates Cellular Energy
NAD+ is the key coenzyme that helps your “mitochondria” (the power plants of your cells) convert food into ATP, which is the body’s fundamental unit of energy.
2. It Powers Cellular Repair
NAD+ is the fuel used by special proteins called “Sirtuins.” Think of Sirtuins as your cell’s 24/7 DNA repair and anti-aging crew.
The Two Main Benefits: Energy and Cognition
1. Boosting Cellular Energy
High levels of NAD+ mean your mitochondria are working efficiently. This translates directly into:
When your cells have energy, you have energy.
2. Enhancing Cognitive Function
Your brain is the most energy-demanding organ in your body. Its cells require a massive amount of NAD+ to function and repair themselves. When NAD+ levels are restored, Sirtuins (that “repair crew”) can get to work protecting your brain cells. Patients often report:
The Problem: We Lose NAD+ as We Age
This is the core challenge. From the day we are born, our natural levels of NAD+ begin to decline.
It’s estimated that by age 50, you may have 50% less NAD+ than you did at age 20.
This decline is a key driver of the aging process. As NAD+ levels fall:
This cellular decline is similar to the way regenerative potential decreases in age-related conditions, a topic also explored in our discussion on stem cells vs bone marrow transplant.
Why IV Therapy? Can’t I Just Take a Pill?
This is the most common question. You may see supplements like NMN or NR, which are “precursors” (building blocks) for NAD+. While they can help, they must first be absorbed by your gut and then converted by your body, with much of the dose being lost.
NAD+ IV Therapy
It is the gold standard for a straightforward reason: 100% bioavailability.
By delivering the active NAD+ coenzyme directly into your bloodstream, we bypass the digestive system entirely. This ensures that a powerful, effective dose is delivered straight to your cells for immediate use. It is the fastest and most efficient way to “refill your tank” and restore your cellular health.
