NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body, playing a central role in energy production, metabolism, and cellular repair. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, a decline that can be accelerated by stress, poor sleep, and everyday wear on the body.
Traditional NAD+ IV therapy delivers the molecule directly, but NAD+ is large and doesn't cross cell membranes easily, which is why sessions can run up to four hours and occasionally come with discomfort like nausea or headache. Niagen IV takes a different approach: NR is a smaller precursor that's readily absorbed and converted into NAD+ inside your cells, offering a smoother, faster path to the same destination.
An essential coenzyme
NAD+ powers energy production, metabolism, and cellular repair in every cell, and its levels naturally decline with age.
A smarter precursor
NR is a smaller molecule your cells readily absorb and convert into NAD+, rather than delivering the large NAD+ molecule directly.
A smoother path
Because NR is absorbed efficiently, sessions are shorter and formulated to minimize the discomfort of traditional NAD+ infusions.
