NAD is a substance your body already makes. Still, every NAD service at Summit Elite begins with a clinical review, and most require a yearly Good Faith Exam. Your provider checks your medical history and current condition before recommending a dose or format — and we will tell you honestly if NAD is not right for you.

Most clients relax through the visit — reading, working, or watching something. NAD+ IV infusions run slower than a standard IV because the coenzyme is best tolerated at a gentle pace. Some clients notice mild flushing as the drip rate adjusts, which is why your nurse controls it carefully. Most leave feeling clear and rested.

It varies. Some clients describe feeling more clear-headed the same day; for most, the effect builds over a series of visits. NAD works at the cellular level, so we encourage clients to think of it as a routine, not a one-time reset.

Niagen is a brand name for nicotinamide riboside — a precursor. Instead of putting NAD directly into your body, Niagen gives your cells the raw material to build more of their own NAD+. That makes it a time-efficient option for clients who want cellular support between, or instead of, longer infusions.

It depends on your goals. Some clients choose weekly injections during a demanding season; others book monthly infusions as ongoing maintenance. Your provider helps you find a cadence that fits your body, schedule, and budget — there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
