NAD+ Therapy Choices Compared: Should You Drip or Inject?

If you’ve heard about the benefits of NAD+ — increased energy, improved focus, better sleep, and even anti-aging effects — you may be wondering: What’s the best way to get it into your system?

Two of the most popular options are IV drips and at-home NAD+ injections. Both have their merits, but depending on your lifestyle, budget, and health goals, one may be a better fit for you.

Let’s compare.

1. Bioavailability & Effectiveness

Both IV and subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injections bypass the digestive tract, allowing NAD+ to enter the bloodstream directly.

  • IV Drip Therapy: Delivers NAD+ through a vein over 1–3 hours. Offers 100% bioavailability with immediate circulation.

  • At-Home Injections: Administered in small daily or every-other-day doses for ongoing cellular support. Also highly bioavailable and supports steady, sustained levels.

🏆 Verdict: Both methods are highly effective. IV may feel stronger up front, but daily injections allow for consistent support without the crash.

2. Convenience & Lifestyle Fit

  • IV Drips: Require a clinic visit or mobile nurse. Often involves scheduling, travel time, and sitting still for up to 3 hours.

  • At-Home Injections: Take less than 2 minutes and can be done from the comfort of your home, on your own schedule.

🏆 Verdict: If you’re busy (or just value autonomy), at-home wins hands down.

3. Cost

  • IV NAD+ Therapy: Typically $400–$750 per session. Monthly routines can easily reach $1,500+.

  • At-Home Injections: Starting at $115, depending on vial size and monthly vs quarterly pricing.

🏆 Verdict: At-home injections offer a much more accessible, sustainable option for most people.

4. Customization & Dosing

IV Drips: Pre-set doses and intervals, typically administered weekly or monthly.

Injections: Allow for microdosing — you can titrate your dose based on how you feel, or what your practitioner recommends.

🏆 Verdict: Injections offer more flexibility and patient-led control over your regimen.

5. Comfort & Experience

  • IV Drips: Some report mild discomfort during the drip. Others enjoy it as a relaxing spa-like session.

  • Injections: Involve a tiny needle, but take seconds. Some may experience a slight burning sensation that fades quickly.

🏆 Verdict: Depends on your sensitivity. But for speed and simplicity, injections win again.

So… Should You Drip or Inject?

Both IV drips and at-home injections deliver real, science-backed benefits. But if you’re looking for a more flexible, cost-effective, and empowering way to support your energy, focus, and longevity — at-home NAD+ injections are tough to beat.

They give you:

  • 💸 A fraction of the cost of IV therapy

  • ⏱️ Total schedule freedom — no clinics, no waiting

  • 💉 Medical-grade quality and safety

  • 🌿 Daily support that fits into your routine, not the other way around

I used to apply nasal but switched to injections recently. The kits are actually pretty easy to apply and you get used to it quickly. Greater effect.
