NAD+ Wellness Injections
Support Your Energy, Vitality and Cellular Wellness
NAD+ has gained attention among adults seeking support for energy, mental clarity, recovery, and healthy-aging goals.
At Glo & Glam MedSpa & Skincare, NAD+ treatment begins with a medical consultation. We evaluate your health history, medications, wellness goals, and potential risks before determining whether NAD+ is appropriate for you.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme found naturally in nearly every cell of the body. It plays an essential role in cellular energy production and many normal metabolic processes.
NAD+ is involved in:
- Converting nutrients into cellular energy
- Supporting normal mitochondrial function
- Cellular communication and signaling
- DNA-repair pathways
- The body’s response to cellular stress
- Normal metabolic activity
Although NAD+ has important biological functions, the benefits of supplemental NAD+ injections are still being studied.
Potential Benefits of NAD+
Patients commonly consider NAD+ injections for wellness goals involving:
- Energy and vitality
- Mental clarity and focus
- Exercise recovery
- Physical resilience
- Cellular wellness
- Metabolic support
- Healthy-aging support
- General wellness optimization
Some patients report feeling more energetic, focused, or refreshed following NAD+ treatment, while others may notice little or no change.
Current research has not established that NAD+ injections reliably increase energy, improve cognition, enhance athletic performance, prevent disease, reverse aging, or extend lifespan. Results vary, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
NAD+ and Healthy Aging
NAD+ participates in several cellular pathways associated with metabolism, mitochondrial activity, and the body’s response to cellular stress. Researchers are studying whether supporting NAD-related pathways may have applications in healthy aging.
However, NAD+ injections have not been proven to:
- Reverse the aging process
- Repair age-related cellular damage
- Prevent chronic disease
- Extend human lifespan
- Replace nutrition, exercise, sleep, or medical care
NAD+ should be considered one possible component of a broader wellness plan—not a substitute for evidence-based healthy-aging strategies.
What to Expect
Your experience begins with a consultation and medical evaluation. Your provider will review:
- Your health history
- Current medications and supplements
- Allergies and previous reactions
- Cardiovascular and metabolic health
- Personal and family cancer history
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding status
- Your wellness goals and expectations
If treatment is considered appropriate, your provider will explain the formulation, method of administration, potential benefits, limitations, and risks.
Potential Risks and Side Effects
NAD+ injections may cause:
- Injection-site pain, redness, swelling, or bruising
- Nausea
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Flushing or warmth
- Abdominal discomfort
- Changes in heart rate or blood pressure
- Allergic or immune reactions
- Infection
- Other unexpected reactions
FDA has received reports following compounded NAD+ injections that included severe chills, shaking, vomiting, and fatigue, with some patients requiring medical treatment. Some of these reactions appeared consistent with excessive endotoxin exposure from ingredients unsuitable for sterile compounding.
Seek immediate medical care for difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, chest pain, fainting, severe weakness, confusion, or another potentially serious reaction.
Who May Not Be a Candidate?
NAD+ treatment may not be appropriate for individuals who:
- Are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
- Are younger than 18
- Have an active or recent history of certain cancers
- Have uncontrolled cardiovascular or metabolic conditions
- Have significant kidney or liver disease
- Have a serious active infection
- Have experienced a previous reaction to NAD+ or another injectable ingredient
- Take medications that may create an interaction
- Are seeking NAD+ as a replacement for necessary medical treatment
This is not a complete list. Eligibility is determined individually by a licensed medical provider.
Important Information About Compounded NAD+
Compounded NAD+ injections are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.
Any NAD+ treatment considered through Glo & Glam must be prescribed following an appropriate medical evaluation and dispensed by an appropriately licensed pharmacy using ingredients suitable for sterile drug compounding.
Glo & Glam does not recommend purchasing or self-administering NAD+ products from unverified online sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will NAD+ give me more energy?
Some patients report increased energy, but this response has not been consistently demonstrated in well-controlled clinical trials. Persistent fatigue should be evaluated for possible medical causes.
Does NAD+ improve mental clarity?
Some patients report changes in focus or clarity. However, NAD+ injections are not an established treatment for cognitive symptoms or neurological conditions.
Does NAD+ reverse aging?
No. NAD+ participates in biological pathways related to cellular function, but injections have not been proven to reverse aging or extend lifespan.
Is NAD+ a vitamin?
No. NAD+ is a coenzyme. The body uses forms of vitamin B3 to help produce it.
Are NAD+ injections FDA-approved?
No. Compounded NAD+ injections are not FDA-approved, and their safety and effectiveness have not been established for general wellness or healthy-aging purposes.
