NAD+ therapy at Peak
NAD+ IV therapy, Wellness Shots and IV add-ons with medical oversight in Bellingham.
Feeling constantly fatigued, mentally foggy, or like your recovery time keeps getting longer even when your habits have not changed? These symptoms are not always about stress or sleep alone. They can be signs that your cells are struggling to produce energy efficiently and repair everyday wear and tear.
NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in every cell of your body that plays a central role in energy production, brain function, and cellular repair.
At Peak Hydration Lounge, NAD+ is available through IV therapy, wellness shots, and as part of select IV nutrient therapies, giving clients flexible options to support cellular health when aging, stress, or burnout increase demand!
What is NAD+?
NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme present in every living cell. It is derived from vitamin B3 related compounds and is essential for converting nutrients into usable cellular energy.
Inside the body, NAD+ supports mitochondrial function, where it helps generate ATP, the primary energy currency of cells. It is also required for enzymes involved in DNA repair and cellular stress responses, including sirtuins, which play a key role in metabolic regulation and healthy aging.
NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. Demand can also increase during periods of chronic stress, inflammation, illness, intense physical activity, poor sleep, or neurological strain. When NAD+ availability drops, cells become less efficient, which can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and slower recovery over time.
Why NAD+ is called the cellular energy gatekeeper
NAD+ is often described as a cellular gatekeeper because so many essential biological processes depend on it. Without adequate NAD+, mitochondria cannot efficiently produce energy, and repair enzymes struggle to keep up with daily cellular damage.
Unlike stimulants or quick energy boosters, NAD+ supports the systems that allow cells to function properly in the first place. When NAD+ levels are supported, the body is better equipped to maintain energy, focus, and resilience at a foundational level.
What the science says about supplementation
Research shows that NAD+ levels decline with age and physiological stress, and restoring NAD+ availability can support cellular energy metabolism and repair pathways. Oral supplements typically aim to raise NAD+ indirectly by providing precursor compounds. While helpful for some individuals, oral absorption is limited by digestion and individual metabolism.
Injectable and IV delivery systems bypass the digestive system, allowing for more direct systemic availability (bioavailability). This approach is often used in clinical and wellness settings when higher bioavailability or more immediate cellular support is desired.
NAD+ therapy at Peak Hydration Lounge
- IV Therapy: a direct intravenous infusion for comprehensive cellular support
- Wellness Shots: designed for slower, sustained absorption
- IV Add On: available with select IV bags for integrated support
The benefits of NAD+ for your health
Research shows NAD+ may help with:
- Supporting cellular energy production and ATP generation
- Improving mitochondrial efficiency
- Supporting DNA repair and cellular resilience
- Promoting cognitive clarity and neurological function
- Supporting circadian rhythm regulation and sleep quality
- Enhancing recovery from physical and mental stress
These benefits can translate to steadier energy, improved focus, better stress tolerance, and more efficient recovery. Rather than creating a short term energy spike, NAD+ works by helping cells function more effectively over time.
Who benefits most from NAD+?
Decades of research show that NAD+ plays a critical role in cellular energy, repair, and neurological function throughout the body.
- Low Energy, Fatigue, or Feeling “Run Down”: NAD+ is essential for converting nutrients into ATP, the primary energy source for your cells, helping support steady energy at a foundational level.
- Poor Mitochondrial Function or Sluggish Metabolism: By supporting mitochondrial efficiency, NAD+ helps cells produce energy more effectively and maintain metabolic balance.
- Accumulated Cellular Stress or Slower Recovery: NAD+ activates enzymes involved in repairing daily cellular damage, supporting long term cellular health and resilience.
- Brain Fog, Mental Fatigue, or Difficulty Focusing: Adequate NAD+ levels are linked to mental clarity, focus, and healthy brain signaling, especially during periods of stress or cognitive demand.
- Disrupted Sleep or Irregular Circadian Rhythms: NAD+ plays a role in regulating circadian rhythms, which can influence sleep quality and overall recovery.
- High Physical or Mental Stress With Slow Recovery: By supporting cellular repair and energy metabolism, NAD+ helps the body recover more efficiently from physical and mental stress.
The bottom line is that NAD+ helps your cells produce energy more efficiently, repair themselves more effectively, and maintain balance under stress. Rather than acting as a quick stimulant, it supports how your body functions at a deeper level, helping you feel more clear, resilient, and capable over time.

Why choose Peak Hydration for NAD+ therapy
At Peak Hydration Lounge, NAD+ therapy is administered by licensed medical professionals using hospital grade ingredients in a safe, comfortable clinical setting. Each treatment is delivered with dosing precision and individualized monitoring to ensure both safety and comfort.
NAD+ IV Therapy: 250mg, 500mg & 750mg
This therapy delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream through a controlled intravenous infusion.
What it is: A longer IV infusion designed to support whole body cellular energy and repair
How it delivers NAD+: Intravenous delivery allows NAD+ to circulate systemically
Why someone would choose it: Ideal for deeper or more comprehensive cellular support
Best for those who want to:
- Support mitochondrial energy production
- Improve mental clarity and focus
- Enhance recovery from burnout or stress
- Support healthy aging at a cellular level
- Address persistent fatigue
This option is best scheduled on a day when you can relax and allow time for the infusion.
NAD+ Wellness Shot: 50mg, 75mg & 100mg
This option delivers NAD+ through a subcutaneous injection for gradual absorption.
What it is: A smaller dose designed for sustained release
How it delivers NAD+: Subcutaneous injection allows slower uptake
Why someone would choose it: A quicker appointment option for ongoing support
Best for those who want to:
- Maintain energy between IV sessions
- Support brain and cellular health consistently
- Fit NAD+ into a busy schedule
Please note: NAD+ wellness shots are administered alone and are not combined with other wellness shots in the same injection. However, other wellness shots can be received separately during your visit.
NAD+ as an IV Add On: 50mg, 75mg, 100mg, 250mg, 500mg, & 750mg
NAD+ can also be added into select IV nutrient therapies.
What it is: An integrated approach combining hydration, nutrients, and NAD+
How it delivers NAD+: Included within a customized IV formulation
Why someone would choose it: Enhances an existing IV therapy with cellular energy support
Best for those who want to:
- Maximize the benefits of IV therapy
- Support energy and recovery together
- Customize their treatment based on current needs
What to expect
NAD+ IV appointments begin with a brief intake and vitals check, followed by a comfortable infusion session. Infusion time varies depending on dose and individual tolerance, as NAD+ is administered slowly to prioritize comfort.
Some clients notice effects during the infusion, while others experience benefits gradually over the following days. Individual response varies based on baseline NAD+ levels and overall health.
Important considerations
- NAD+ IV therapy typically takes longer than standard IV treatments
- Sensations such as chest tightness or warmth can occur if infused too quickly
- Infusion rate is adjusted to maintain comfort
- Eating beforehand and staying well hydrated is recommended
Book your NAD+ treatment
