Niagen

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) IV — a next-generation NAD+ precursor for cellular energy and longevity.

30–45 minutes
Physician-supervised

Overview

Niagen delivers Nicotinamide Riboside (NR), a highly efficient precursor that the body converts into NAD+ through the salvage pathway. It supports mitochondrial function, DNA repair and sirtuin activity, and is often chosen by patients who want NAD+ benefits with a gentler infusion experience than full-dose NAD+.

Key benefits

  • Raises intracellular NAD+ levels
  • Supports mitochondrial energy production
  • May improve focus, endurance and recovery
  • Supports DNA repair and sirtuin activation
  • Gentler tolerance profile than IV NAD+

Ingredients

What's in this drip

  • Nicotinamide riboside (NR)

How it works

Administered as a short IV infusion in a private treatment suite by a licensed clinician. Most patients tolerate Niagen without the flushing or chest tightness sometimes reported with high-dose NAD+.

Mechanism

NR is phosphorylated to NMN and then converted to NAD+ via the salvage pathway, replenishing the coenzyme that fuels mitochondrial ATP production, sirtuin-mediated gene regulation and PARP-driven DNA repair.

Who is this for

  • Adults optimizing healthspan and longevity
  • Patients who don't tolerate full NAD+ infusions
  • Anyone seeking sustained energy and cognitive support
  • Athletes and biohackers stacking with peptides

Considerations & safety

Generally well tolerated. Full medical screening is required; not administered during pregnancy without OB clearance, and use with caution in patients with active malignancy pending physician review.

Frequently asked

How is Niagen different from a NAD+ drip?+

Niagen delivers the precursor NR, which the body converts to NAD+. Many patients find it gentler than direct NAD+ infusions.

How often should I get it?+

Most patients benefit from every 2–4 weeks; your physician will personalize the cadence.

Are there side effects?+

Side effects are uncommon and mild. Report any flushing, nausea or lightheadedness to your clinician.

Can I combine it with other therapies?+

Yes — Niagen pairs well with peptide protocols, Resveratrol and other longevity drips.
