Last week, I tried something new at the office! I had an NAD+ injection with Dr. Monica and RN Stephanie. This is one of the services that we are featuring at the new Wellness Clinic! I’ve been hearing more and more buzz about NAD+ (especially in wellness circles), so I decided to give it a try myself and share what the experience was like.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular regeneration. I think of it as a kind of cellular fuel. Your body needs it to function properly, but NAD+ levels naturally decline as we age. That drop is linked to fatigue, slower metabolism, and even brain fog.
An NAD+ injection is a quick and direct way to replenish your levels. Unlike IV drips (which take longer), this is a simple intramuscular shot, so it is over in seconds.
Some of the potential benefits of NAD+ injections include increased energy, enhanced mental clarity and focus, better sleep quality, improved metabolism, reduced inflammation, and support for cellular repair and anti-aging.
It’s not just hype. Many patients (and staff!) report feeling the effects within 24–48 hours.
RN Stephanie handled my injection. As always, she was quick, gentle, and answered all my questions beforehand. I had no downtime at all, and the injection site barely felt sore. By the next day, I noticed I was more mentally sharp, had better energy (without the crash of caffeine), and even slept more soundly that night.
I would do it again. It’s one of those subtle, behind-the-scenes wellness tools that just makes you feel more you.
If you’ve been feeling low-energy, sluggish, or just not like yourself lately, NAD+ might be worth exploring. We offer injections right here at the office, and you can talk to Dr. Monica or RN Stephanie to see if it’s a good fit for your goals.
NAD+ injections are typically given intramuscularly. At Dr. Monica Scheel Dermatology, they are usually administered in the deltoid (upper arm) or gluteal (hip/buttocks) muscles.
