Your First NAD+ IV in Tulsa: How It Works and How to Prepare

A first NAD+ IV at Alpha IV Therapy in south Tulsa is a 1-liter drip with 250 to 1,000 mg of NAD+, priced $200 to $780, and online booking reserves about 90 minutes to 5 hours for it, depending on the dose. If anything feels uncomfortable while it runs, tell the team right away. To prepare, arrive hydrated, bring a list of your medications, keep the whole appointment free, and if you're new to the clinic, complete the $35 Good Faith Exam first.
Below: how NAD+ is given, what's in the bag, how long to plan for, and how to prepare and book.
How is NAD+ given at Alpha IV?
Three ways, all at our clinic:
- IV infusion: 250, 500, 750 or 1,000 mg of NAD+ in a 1-liter bag, $200 to $780.
- Injection: 25, 50, 100 or 150 mg of NAD+ on its own, in a 15-minute appointment, $50 to $185.
- Add-on: a 100 mg NAD+ add-on ($100) that you can pair with another IV.
Prices can change; the booking page shows the current price. NAD+ isn't on the mobile IV menu. To compare a shot, an add-on and an infusion, see our NAD+ injection vs. IV guide.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell and involved in turning food into energy, and its levels naturally decline with age. NAD+ therapy gives you NAD+ by IV drip or injection. Talk with your provider about what it may or may not do for you.
What's in a NAD+ infusion?
Every NAD+ infusion tier, from 250 mg to 1,000 mg, uses the same base: 1 liter of lactated Ringer's with double magnesium and a B-complex (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6). Only the amount of NAD+ changes. If you've had a hydration or vitamin IV before, the bag and the setup will feel familiar. The injections are simpler: the menu lists NAD+ as their only ingredient.
How long will my first session take?
NAD+ injections are 15-minute appointments. Every infusion dose uses the same 1-liter bag, but the 750 mg and 1,000 mg appointments run much longer than 250 or 500 mg, so book those ahead and choose an early start. Times for each dose are in our NAD+ price and appointment-length guide. If your schedule is tight, call (918) 210-7568 before you book.
Does a NAD+ IV hurt?
It goes in like any other IV: through a small needle, usually in your arm. You may notice mild bruising where the line went in. If anything feels uncomfortable while the drip runs, tell the team right away. If needles make you nervous, say so when you arrive. It's a common concern.
Is NAD+ therapy right for everyone?
Not necessarily, and that's what the Good Faith Exam is for. New to Alpha IV? Your first visit starts with a $35 Good Faith Exam, a short telehealth visit with a licensed provider that covers you for 12 months. The provider reviews your health history and decides whether IV therapy is right for you. The fee is non-refundable, even if you aren't approved, and you need the exam before a NAD+ injection as well as an infusion.
Tell the team about any medications you take and any health conditions you have. If you're sick, see your physician first; an infusion isn't a treatment for illness.
How should I prepare?
- New client? Complete your Good Faith Exam before your appointment.
- Arrive hydrated. Drink water beforehand.
- Eat something first, so you're not starting a long drip on an empty stomach.
- Bring a list of your medications and allergies to share with the team.
- Keep the whole appointment free. For 750 mg or 1,000 mg, bring your phone and a charger, or a book.
What should I do after my session?
General IV aftercare applies, and most people go about their day afterward. Take it slow when you stand up, and follow any instructions the team gives you before you leave. If something doesn't feel right later, call (918) 210-7568. If symptoms feel severe, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Can I combine NAD+ with other IV services?
Yes. When you book a NAD+ infusion, you can add vitamin and mineral boosts (most are $30, charged at your visit). If you're booking another IV, you can add the 100 mg NAD+ add-on for $100. Ask the team whether a combination suits you.
How often do people come in for NAD+?
It varies, and there's no fixed schedule everyone follows. Some clients prefer a lighter, more frequent routine with injections; others would rather come in less often and book a larger infusion when they do. Neither is the right answer for everyone, and your provider recommends a cadence based on your goals and history. For IV therapy in general, see how often to come in.
What if I've never had an IV before?
You don't need any IV experience to book NAD+. Tell the team it's your first IV when you arrive, and ask anything you like before the line goes in. Here's what happens on a first visit, step by step from booking to walking out.
How do I book?
Book a 250 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg or 1,000 mg infusion online, or call (918) 210-7568. New clients pay the $35 exam when they book online; the NAD+ itself is paid at your visit. Say it's your first NAD+ session when you book. Infusions are given at our clinic, 8922 S Memorial Dr, Suite C-1, Tulsa.
