If you have searched for NAD injections near me, you have probably found a lot of promises and very little plain information. This page is deliberately different. PassQual Health offers NAD+ therapy and IV vitamin infusion therapy at our Miami Gardens clinic, and what follows describes what the service actually is, what happens during a visit, who is evaluated as a candidate, and what the published research does and does not show. It does not promise outcomes, because the evidence does not support promising them.
PassQual Health offers physician-supervised NAD+ injections and IV vitamin infusion therapy in Miami Gardens, FL. NAD+ dosing is individualized and weight-based, typically starting around $250–$300 per session, confirmed at your evaluation.
What Is NAD+, and What Are NAD+ Injections?
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme present in every cell in the body, and the body builds it from vitamin B3 and related precursors. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements states that “all tissues in the body convert absorbed niacin into its main metabolically active form” — that form is NAD — and notes that more than 400 enzymes require NAD to catalyze reactions, more than for any other vitamin-derived coenzyme.
Biochemically, NAD+ does two distinct jobs. It shuttles electrons in the redox reactions that convert food into usable cellular energy, and it serves as a required cofactor for a separate family of non-redox enzymes — the sirtuins, CD38, and the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases — which participate in DNA repair, chromatin remodelling, cellular senescence and immune cell function (Covarrubias, Perrone, Grozio and Verdin, Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2021).
An NAD+ injection and an NAD+ IV infusion both deliver NAD+ outside the digestive tract, but they are not the same service, and they are not interchangeable.
| Format | How it is administered | What determines the length |
|---|---|---|
| NAD+ injection (subcutaneous or intramuscular) | A small, measured volume given with a fine needle by clinical staff. | The dose ordered by the physician. The injection itself takes minutes. |
| NAD+ IV infusion | NAD+ is diluted in fluid and delivered slowly through an IV line, with the rate controlled and adjusted by staff. | The ordered dose and the rate you tolerate. Published research protocols have run as long as six hours. |
| Vitamins IV infusion therapy | Fluid with vitamins and minerals through an IV line. May or may not include NAD+. | The specific formulation ordered at your evaluation. |
Which format is appropriate for you — if any is — is a clinical decision made after an evaluation, not a menu choice.
What Does an NAD+ Infusion Visit at PassQual Involve, Step by Step?
- Medical evaluation first. We do not provide NAD+ therapy on a walk-in basis. Every patient is seen and cleared by a physician before anything is ordered.
- History and medication reconciliation. Current prescriptions, supplements, allergies, past reactions to IV therapy, surgical history, and pregnancy or breastfeeding status.
- Examination and vital signs. Blood pressure, heart rate, cardiopulmonary exam, and an assessment of venous access.
- Baseline laboratory testing where clinically indicated. Drawn at our on-site medical laboratory, so there is no second trip to an outside draw station.
- The physician’s decision. This includes the option of declining. If NAD+ therapy is not appropriate for you, we will say so and explain why.
- Informed consent. An explicit conversation covering the fact that NAD+ is not FDA-approved for these uses, what is and is not known, and what side effects are commonly reported.
- Administration. IV placement by clinical staff, a deliberately slow start, and monitoring throughout. The rate is adjusted down whenever you report discomfort.
- Observation and discharge. A short monitored period afterward, written aftercare instructions, and direct contact information.
- Follow-up. Any repeat session is a fresh clinical decision, not an automatic package.
Who Is — and Is Not — a Candidate for NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ therapy is not appropriate for everyone, and several groups are excluded or require particular caution. The evaluation exists to catch these:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Anyone under 18
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the preparation
- Active infection or fever on the day of the appointment
- Significant kidney or liver disease
- Heart failure or any condition in which an intravenous fluid load matters
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- Bleeding or clotting disorders, or anticoagulation therapy, given the need for IV access
- Poor or unreliable venous access
One exclusion matters more than the rest. If you have new or unexplained symptoms — persistent fatigue, unintended weight change, mental fog, mood change, sleep disruption — an infusion is the wrong first step. Those symptoms have causes worth identifying, and the correct starting point is a diagnostic workup through primary care and laboratory testing. We will redirect you there rather than infuse you. If you are already enrolled in another program with us, such as medical weight loss, NAD+ therapy is evaluated entirely separately and is not part of that program.
How Long Is a Session, and What Should You Expect Physically?
Plan for a longer appointment than a routine office visit. IV infusion sessions are measured in hours rather than minutes, and the exact chair time depends on the dose ordered and the rate you tolerate. Injections are considerably shorter.
Patients receiving intravenous NAD+ commonly report sensations during the infusion itself: flushing or warmth, a feeling of chest or abdominal tightness, nausea, headache, or lightheadedness. These are widely described as rate-dependent, which is why staff start slowly and slow further on request. Separately, any IV carries the ordinary risks of vascular access — bruising, site discomfort, infiltration, phlebitis, and rarely infection. You will be told about all of this before you consent, not after.
How Often Should NAD+ Sessions Be Scheduled?
There is no established, trial-validated dosing schedule for NAD+ therapy. Treat the “NAD+ injection dosage charts” circulating online with real skepticism — they are not derived from adequate clinical trials, and no legitimate clinic can point you to one that is. At PassQual, frequency is a case-by-case clinical judgment made by the physician who evaluated you, and it is revisited each time rather than sold as a fixed course.
What Does the Research Actually Show — and What Is Not Established?
What is well established: NAD+ is essential to human cellular metabolism, and the body synthesizes it from dietary niacin. That is settled biochemistry.
What research reports: NAD+ levels decline gradually with age across multiple model organisms and in humans, and NAD-dependent enzymes participate in processes relevant to tissue and metabolic homeostasis. The authors of that same review are explicit that much remains to be learned about how NAD influences human health, how to effectively restore NAD levels, whether doing so is safe, and whether repletion has beneficial effects in ageing humans.
What is not established: that infusing NAD+ produces a defined clinical benefit. A 2019 pilot study in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience — 11 participants, 8 of whom received a six-hour intravenous NAD+ infusion — was the first to document the fate of directly infused NAD+ in humans. It found no change in plasma NAD+ or its metabolites for the first two hours, with changes appearing later. That is a small, early, mechanistic study. It was not designed to measure symptoms, function, or outcomes, and it should not be read as showing that the therapy works.
Some patients report that they feel different after a session. Individual responses vary, anecdotal reports are not evidence, and PassQual does not promise you a result. Research is ongoing.
Is NAD+ Therapy FDA-Approved?
No. There is no FDA-approved NAD+ drug product for the wellness uses NAD+ therapy is commonly marketed for, and NAD+ is not approved as a treatment for any disease or condition. NAD+ preparations administered in clinics are compounded preparations. The FDA states plainly that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, meaning the agency does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed.
Any clinic that tells you otherwise is either misinformed or misleading you. We would rather you hear it from us, in writing, before you book.

Dosing generally begins with a starting dose of approximately 1 mL, priced at $250–$300, with your total confirmed at your evaluation once the physician determines the appropriate dose for your weight. IV infusion pricing depends on the dose and length ordered and is quoted separately. Ask when you call, or contact us with questions before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAD+ used for?
NAD+ is a coenzyme every cell needs for energy metabolism and DNA repair processes. It is marketed for wellness uses including recovery, cognitive support, and anti-aging, but none of these uses are FDA-approved, and the clinical evidence for infused NAD+ producing these effects is limited. PassQual offers NAD+ therapy after a medical evaluation, without promising a specific outcome.
How often should you get NAD+ injections?
There is no established, trial-validated dosing schedule. Be skeptical of any fixed “dosage chart.” At PassQual, frequency is an individualized clinical decision made by your physician after evaluation, reassessed at each visit rather than sold as a package.
Is NAD+ therapy FDA-approved?
No. NAD+ preparations used in IV therapy are compounded products, and the FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety or effectiveness before they reach patients. NAD+ is not approved to treat any disease or condition.
What is the difference between an NAD+ injection and an NAD+ IV infusion?
An injection is a small measured dose given quickly by needle. An IV infusion delivers NAD+ slowly through a vein over a longer period, often hours, with the rate adjusted by clinical staff based on how you tolerate it. Which is appropriate, if either is, is decided at your evaluation.
