NR Infusions Explained: The Faster, Safer, and More Effective Alternative to NAD+ IV Therapy

If you’re exploring advanced wellness treatments like IV therapy for anti-aging, increased cellular energy, or improved metabolism, you’ve likely come across NAD+ infusions. But a new and superior option is emerging: NR infusions, powered by Nicotinamide Riboside, a direct precursor to NAD+.

With so much buzz around intravenous NAD therapy, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype—so today, we’re separating fact from fiction and diving into why NR infusions are now the smarter, more efficient choice over traditional NAD infusions.

What Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a critical coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a vital role in:

  • Cellular energy production 
  • Healthy aging and DNA repair 
  • Metabolic function 
  • Brain and neurological support 

As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which is why NAD+ supplementation has been linked to anti-aging benefits and improved cellular health.

The Problem with NAD+ Infusions

Although NAD+ infusions have become increasingly popular, there’s one major issue: NAD+ is a large molecule that your cells can’t absorb directly.

During an NAD IV drip, the body must first break down the NAD+ into smaller molecules (precursors) before they can enter the cells. Once inside, those molecules are reassembled back into usable NAD+. This process is slow, often uncomfortable, and can lead to side effects like flushing, chest tightness, or nausea during the infusion.

The NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) Advantage

Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) is a proven NAD+ precursor—and it’s naturally smaller and easier for your cells to absorb. When you receive an NR infusion:

  • It bypasses the breakdown and reassembly process
  • It enters the cells quickly and effectively
  • It converts into NAD+ with fewer side effects
  • It delivers faster results and better tolerability

That means more efficient NAD+ production at the cellular level—with less discomfort and more potential benefits.

Real-Life Results from Our NR Infusion Event

Recently, we offered 50 NR infusions during an in-person wellness event and gathered firsthand feedback. The results were clear:

  • Higher and quicker NAD+ levels compared to traditional NAD IV drips 
  • Significantly better tolerance – fewer clients reported nausea or discomfort 
  • Faster absorption meant shorter infusion times 
  • More noticeable, immediate benefits like mental clarity and energy boosts 

These findings confirmed what research has already been pointing to: NR infusions outperform NAD infusions in both safety and effectiveness.

Why We Now Only Offer NR Infusions

After reviewing all the science and real-world outcomes, we’ve decided to discontinue NAD infusions completely. From now on, we exclusively offer NR IV therapy because it:

✨ Supports natural NAD+ production
✨ Helps improve energy, focus, recovery, and anti-aging processes
✨ Comes with fewer side effects and greater client satisfaction

In the rapidly advancing world of cellular health and IV therapy, it’s essential to adapt based on what truly works. Nicotinamide Riboside is the future of NAD+ optimization—and the smarter choice when it comes to wellness infusion therapy.
