NAD+ IV Therapy
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Roseville, Antelope, Citrus Heights, Rocklin and Sacramento, CA
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) IV therapy is an innovative and minimally invasive wellness treatment designed to help each patient enhance their overall health and support cellular function. NAD+ is a molecule and coenzyme found in the body that plays a large role in how our body produces energy, and it can be found in almost every cell in the body. (1) Over time, our NAD+ levels can slowly deplete, leading to symptoms of aging both internally and externally. With NAD+ IV therapy, patients can prioritize their vigor and vitality.
Dr. Jack Friedlander is a general surgeon at NorCal Liposculpture dedicated to helping each patient achieve their wellness and aesthetic goals. He has countless years of experience and has helped thousands of patients restore their comfort and confidence through various procedures.

About NAD+
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every cell within the body. This molecule is responsible for energy production and plays a large role in cellular repair, immune function, regulating metabolism, and more. NAD+ is a necessary component for keeping our bodies balanced and healthy. (2) Reintroducing NAD+ to the system may help each patient enhance their overall wellness and longevity.
IV Therapy
Intravenous (IV) therapy is designed to help replenish fluids and essential vitamins in the body. This treatment modality bypasses the digestive system, allowing the body to absorb nutrients directly through the bloodstream, hydrating and rejuvenating patients quicker than intraoral methods. (3) IV therapy provides fast-acting hydration, allowing patients to recover more quickly than other methods.
Benefits
NAD+ IV therapy offers several potential advantages that improve both physical and mental wellness in patients. Under Dr. Friedlander’s expert care, our patients benefit through:
- Cellular Energy Boost: NAD+ therapy may enhance mitochondrial function, leading to increased energy production at the cellular level, effectively combating feelings of fatigue.
- Anti-Aging Effects: NAD+ may slow down the aging process by enhancing cellular repair mechanisms, promoting more youthful-looking skin and physiological health.
- Cognitive Enhancement: Patients may see improved mental clarity and focus.
- Metabolic Support: Balanced and optimized metabolic processes may help patients with weight management and energy levels.
- Oxidative Stress Reduction: Reducing the harmful effects of oxidative stress leads to improved overall health and well-being.
- Boosts Athletic Performance: This treatment aids in accelerating recovery post-exercise, allowing athletes to perform better and avoid burnout.
Candidates
Suitable candidates for NAD+ IV therapy include anyone interested in improving their mental clarity and fatigue, as well as older individuals interested in preventing age-related decline. Patients undergoing addiction recovery or post-procedure recovery, and athletes, may also benefit from treatment. NAD+ therapy may also be used to address specific health concerns, such as neurodegenerative conditions or metabolic concerns. All candidates interested in NAD+ should be in good overall health with realistic expectations as to what this procedure can accomplish. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as those sensitive to IV drips, should consult their physician before undergoing treatment. Dr. Friedlander will determine each patient’s candidacy during their consultation and can suggest suitable alternatives for those who do not qualify.
Personal Consultation
At a personal consultation, Dr. Friedlander will meet with the patient to get to know them more personally. A series of questions will be asked about each patient’s medical history, medications, concerns, and treatment goals. Using the gathered information, Dr. Friedlander will determine each individual’s candidacy and start crafting their treatment plan.

Preparation
Dr. Friedlander will provide preparation instructions for each patient during their consultation. While preparation is minimal, patients should still ensure they follow each instruction for the best possible outcomes. To prepare for NAD+ therapy, each patient should hydrate well leading up to their appointment and eat a light meal several hours before their appointment. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided as they may amplify unwanted side effects. Wearing comfortable clothing, especially a short-sleeved top, is also recommended, as our team will need access to the arm to insert the IV.
Procedure
On the day of the procedure, each patient will be led to a private seating area where a needle will be inserted into a vein, either in the arm or hand. The NAD+ solution will be attached to an IV bag and slowly dripped into the bloodstream. This allows the solution to enter the body more quickly, bypassing the digestive system. NAD+ is dripped slowly and administered over several hours, as this treatment can cause unwanted side effects if administered too fast. (2) Throughout the procedure, Dr. Friedlander and his staff will check on each individual to ensure they are comfortable until the end of their procedure.
Recovery and Results
Following each patient’s treatment, they will be free to return to their schedules. Some patients may feel slight fatigue following their treatment, but these effects typically resolve within several hours.
As soon as the following day, patients may experience a boost in their mental clarity and focus, as well as an improvement in their overall energy levels. Many patients also report better sleep and an elevation in their general mood. (1)
Corresponding Procedures
Dr. Friedlander can perform several treatments alongside our NAD+ therapy for more comprehensive results. To learn more about the other treatments we offer, we encourage you to read Dr. Friedlander’s blog!
Clear + Brilliant
Clear + Brilliant is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses laser energy to enhance the appearance and health of the skin. This treatment creates tiny microscopic wounds on the face to stimulate the production of collagen, restoring elasticity and firmness to the skin. Clear + Brilliant can be used to address a wide range of issues, such as sun damage, melasma, acne scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation concerns. Additionally, this treatment can be performed safely on all skin types and tones, leaving each patient with a more youthful-looking appearance and revitalized skin.
Botox
Botox is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other visible signs of aging. This treatment is a neuromodulator, which means it interacts with certain neurotransmitters to relax the muscles responsible for the development of creases and wrinkles. Botox not only softens and reduces the appearance of aging symptoms, but also prevents them from developing.
Cost of NAD+ in Sacramento
The cost of each patient’s treatment can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired results and whether or not any additional procedures are performed. Dr. Friedlander will discuss the cost of each patient’s NAD+ IV therapy with them once their treatment plan has been established. NorCal Liposculpture is additionally partnered with multiple reputable lending companies to offer various financing options for each patient.
