Matt Kelly explains how to dose IV NAD+ safely, starting low and increasing gradually. He covers two main uses: chronic recovery like post-surgery or long COVID, and higher-dose protocols for addiction treatment, which require controlled settings because addiction patients have more complex biochemistry.
In the case of intravenous NAD+, one of the things that we have to be the most careful with is seeing what your tolerance is to it. And that's different for everybody. So we normally will give lower doses of NAD+ to somebody intravenously, make sure they don't get those overcaffeinated kind of feelings, and then they can ramp up. Now, there's kind of 2 big uses for NAD+ intravenously. One is the more global chronic illness recovery, cellular recovery, you're recovering from surgery, recovering from long COVID, any, you know, anything else that's chronic. And then the other, which uses higher doses, is used in addiction medicine. And the really high doses of NAD have to be done in a highly controlled manner. But also, if you're somebody who's in an addiction program and they're doing intravenous therapies with you and they're ramping up to higher doses of NAD, your biochemistry has more challenges.
