In the world of modern wellness and longevity, NAD+ has become one of the most talked-about compounds. From high-performing professionals to health-conscious travelers and recovery-focused athletes, more people are turning to NAD+ IV infusions to restore energy, improve cognitive function, and support cellular health.
But what exactly is NAD+ – and what makes it so effective?
Here, we break down what NAD+ is, where it comes from, what to expect from an infusion, and why it’s gaining popularity in Amsterdam and beyond.
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in every cell of the human body and is essential for energy production, DNA repair, cellular regeneration, and mitochondrial function.
As we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decline. This decline is linked to reduced energy, slower metabolism, cognitive fatigue, and other signs of aging. NAD+ IV therapy offers an efficient way to replenish these levels and support the body’s natural performance at the cellular level.
The Origin of NAD+
NAD+ is naturally produced by the body and synthesized from nutrients like vitamin B3 (niacin). It has been studied for decades in biochemistry and medical research, particularly for its role in energy metabolism and cellular function.
While it is possible to increase NAD+ through food and supplements, oral absorption is limited. That’s why intravenous delivery – directly into the bloodstream – is considered the most effective method for rapid and high-dose uptake.
Ingredients of a NAD+ Infusion
At Qualevita, our NAD+ infusion contains:
- Pure, pharmaceutical-grade NAD+
- A sterile saline solution for hydration and delivery
- Optional nutrients like B vitamins or amino acids, tailored to individual needs
Each infusion is administered under the supervision of experienced medical professionals in a comfortable, controlled setting.
What Are the Potential Benefits?
While clinical research on NAD+ is still ongoing, a wide range of benefits have been reported in both scientific studies and practical application. Key benefits may include:
- Improved cellular energy and mitochondrial function
- Enhanced mental clarity, focus, and memory
- Support for DNA repair and anti-aging processes
- Faster recovery from physical and mental fatigue
- Regulation of mood and stress response
- Support in detoxification and addiction recovery protocols
At Qualevita, NAD+ is often part of a personalized treatment program focused on recovery, performance, or long-term vitality.
Is NAD+ Therapy Approved by Authorities?
NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule and is not classified as a drug. Its use in IV therapy is considered a supportive treatment, not a pharmaceutical intervention.
In the United States, NAD+ is not formally approved by the FDA for disease treatment but is widely used in functional medicine and wellness clinics.
In the Netherlands, NAD+ IV therapy is permitted when administered under medical supervision. At Qualevita, we follow all EU medical safety regulations and only use certified, pharmaceutical-grade NAD+ from trusted suppliers.
What Is the Difference Between an NAD+ IV and an NAD+ Injection?
Both NAD+ IV infusions and NAD+ injections aim to restore NAD+ levels, but they differ in dosage and delivery:
- A NAD+ IV is administered slowly via drip over 1 to 2 hours, allowing for a higher dose and gradual absorption
- A NAD+ injection is a quick intramuscular shot, ideal for smaller doses or maintenance

-
Biomarkers
We start with diagnostic testing to gain insight into cellular and metabolic function. NAD+ infusions are offered as one of several tools to support clients looking to work on cellular-level health in a personalized way. -
Nutrition
NAD+ is synthesised in the body from certain nutrients, including vitamin B3. However, NAD+ levels may be influenced by a range of lifestyle and physiological factors. IV therapy may be considered as a complement to nutritional and supplementation strategies, under professional guidance. -
Movement & Exercise
For clients with active lifestyles or training goals, NAD+ is sometimes included in their support program. Key benefits may be improved energy metabolism and recovery support, although individual experiences vary and evidence is still emerging. -
Mental Health
NAD+ is involved in many biochemical pathways in the body, including those related to brain and nerve function. Key benefits may be improved focus or support during times of stress, but results differ per person and are not guaranteed. -
Sleep
NAD+ is sometimes integrated into programs designed to improve sleep quality or support circadian balance. While some individuals report better rest, this varies and scientific research in this area is still developing.
NAD+ IV therapy at Qualevita is always delivered with a personalized protocol, based on individual assessments and under the supervision of a medical professional. While research into NAD+ is ongoing, it is considered a promising area of interest within preventive and functional health strategies.
