NAD+ IV Therapy

It’s no surprise that vitamin IV drips have become one of the most talked-about wellness trends, with many people turning to alternative ways to restore their energy.

From Vitamin C to “energy” and “immunity” blends, vitamin infusions can be a helpful way to support hydration and replenish nutrients by delivering them directly into the bloodstream. However, vitamin drips are designed to top up vitamin levels temporarily, supporting short-term wellbeing rather than addressing how your cells produce and sustain energy.

These short term boosts are not the same as increasing cellular energy.

At Dr BK Clinic, our IV infusions include NAD+ and L-Glutathione, two molecules that play vital roles in your cellular energy production, detoxification, and immune resilience... Think of it as giving your body the tools it needs to function at its best; supporting long-term energy, resilience, and healthy ageing at a cellular level.

A typical session is relaxed and personalised. You’ll be in a calm, clinical setting with trained medical professionals overseeing your infusion.

On the day, you’ll relax in our comfortable treatment room, where a highly trained medical professional gently places a small cannula into a vein. Most patients find this painless and very well tolerated. The infusion then runs slowly over one to two hours. During this time, you can read, work, listen to music, or simply unwind. You will be monitored throughout to ensure you are comfortable and everything goes smoothly.

By the end of the session, most patients feel comfortable and ready to continue their day, often noticing a subtle lift in energy and wellbeing in the hours or days that follow.

Dr BK Clinic, NAD⁺ IV therapy is delivered within a strict medical governance framework. Every patient undergoes clinical assessment and independent GP prescribing before treatment.

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD⁺) is a naturally occurring molecule found in every cell of the body. It plays a vital role in:

• Cellular energy production
• DNA repair and cellular regeneration
• Metabolic function
• Healthy ageing pathways

NAD⁺ levels decline naturally with age, which may contribute to fatigue, reduced focus, slower recovery and reduced resilience.

NAD⁺ IV infusion therapy delivers NAD⁺ directly into the bloodstream, supporting faster and more predictable uptake than oral supplementation.

Glutathione (L-glutathione) is the active, bioavailable form of glutathione — one of the body’s most important endogenous antioxidants. It supports:

• Natural detoxification pathways
• Protection against oxidative stress
• Immune resilience
• Overall wellbeing

At Dr BK Clinic, L-glutathione may be used alone or alongside NAD⁺ where clinically appropriate.

Most patients tolerate NAD+ & Glutathione infusions very well. Although rare, mild side effects can include:

• Temporary flushing or warmth
• Lightheadedness during the infusion
• Minor headache
• Nausea (rare)

These effects usually resolve quickly, and your session is closely monitored by a trained medical professional to ensure safety and comfort.

Dr BK Clinic does not operate as a high-street IV drip service. All IV therapies are medically prescribed, clinically delivered and supported by formal protocols and follow-up.

IV delivery bypasses the digestive system, allowing for:

• Improved absorption compared with oral supplements
• Clinically controlled administration
• Predictable, accurate dosing
• Treatment within a medically supervised environment

All infusions are delivered by trained medical professionals following established clinical protocols.

We use mannitol-free NAD⁺ formulations selected for purity and improved tolerability, helping to enhance patient comfort during infusion.

Yes. Where clinically appropriate, NAD⁺ may be combined with L-glutathione as part of a structured treatment plan following consultation.

Some patients start with a single session, while others benefit from a planned course. Treatment frequency and duration are discussed during consultation and tailored to individual response and goals.

NAD⁺ IV therapy may not be suitable for everyone. A full medical assessment is carried out to identify any contraindications or medication interactions.
