How Often Should You Get NAD+ Therapy?
Updated October 20, 2026 · 2 min read
You've tried your first NAD+ IV, or you're about to. The next question is usually: how often should I come back?
There's no single answer for everyone, but there is a common approach. Here's how NAD+ therapy schedules typically work and how to find your rhythm.

The Two Phases of NAD+ Therapy
Phase 1: Loading
The goal of a loading phase is to build up your NAD+ levels. This usually means several sessions over a short period.
Many clients notice the biggest changes during this phase.
Phase 2: Maintenance
Once you've completed your loading phase, you shift to less frequent sessions to maintain how you feel. For many people, that means every few weeks or once a month.
What Affects Your Ideal Frequency?
Your goals
Someone focused on healthy aging may choose a steady monthly routine. Someone in a demanding season (training for a race, a big work push, recovering from a tough stretch) may want sessions closer together.
How you respond
Pay attention to how long you feel the benefits. If you notice your energy dipping a few weeks after a session, that's useful information for your provider.
Your lifestyle
Sleep, stress, alcohol, exercise and nutrition all affect how your body uses NAD+.
Your dose and comfort
Your provider may adjust the dose and drip rate over time. See What Does an NAD+ IV Feel Like?
Sample Approaches
These are examples only. Your provider will personalize your plan.
| Goal | Common approach |
|---|---|
| Getting started | Loading series, then reassess |
| Healthy aging | Regular maintenance sessions |
| Demanding season | Sessions closer together for a period |
| Athletic recovery | Timed around training blocks and events |
How to Get the Most From Each Session
- Stay consistent, especially during your loading phase
- Hydrate well, since the Texas heat works against you
- Prioritize sleep to support cellular repair
- Limit alcohol, which can deplete NAD+
- Track how you feel between sessions
