NAD+ Injections
IV Therapy · VEI Clinic, Gangnam, Seoul
Quick Intro
VEI Clinic Apgujeong is an English-friendly internal-medicine clinic in Gangnam offering same-day supportive therapies with doctor oversight.
What Are NAD+ Injections?
NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in cellular energy and DNA-repair processes. In clinical settings, NAD+ may be given as an intramuscular (IM) injection or as an IV infusion after a brief medical check. These services are positioned as supportive/wellness care—not cures for disease or substitutes for indicated treatments. (For the general biology of NAD+, see Harvard Medical School resources; research interest is ongoing.)
Who They May Suit (Common Reasons People Ask)
- Feeling run-down after long flights or intense work weeks
- Post-illness recovery when oral intake has been low
- Interest in adjunctive nutrient support while optimizing sleep, diet, and stress
Your physician confirms candidacy and the most appropriate route (IM vs IV) case-by-case.
Evidence & Expectations (Read Before You Book)
- Evidence remains limited for wellness uses. Reviews and summaries continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NAD+/NADH in humans, with a need for higher-quality trials for many marketed claims.
Bottom line: Some people report feeling better after hydration and nutrient support, but results vary, and this is not a treatment for serious disease.
Safety First (Important)
- General IV/IM risks: vein/IM-site irritation, flushing, dizziness, nausea; more serious complications are uncommon in supervised settings but are possible with poor sterility or technique. Mainstream medical sources stress that evidence of benefit is limited and clean technique matters for any infusion.
Tell the doctor if you: have kidney, heart, or liver disease; are pregnant/breastfeeding; have significant drug allergies; or take anticoagulants/diuretics/other prescriptions.
IM vs IV (What We Consider)
- IM injection: quick visit; avoids an IV line; dosing may be lower per session.
- IV infusion: slower administration; allows titration if symptoms (e.g., flushing/nausea) appear; requires line placement and monitoring.
Your clinician will recommend a route based on goals, history, and tolerability.
Visit Flow (Typically 45–90 Minutes)

Aftercare Tips
- Hydrate (water or oral rehydration) for the rest of the day.
- Eat a light, balanced meal (protein + complex carbs + produce).

Questions
Are NAD+ injections an anti-aging treatment?
There’s a biological rationale for studying NAD+ pathways, but clinical benefits from injections/infusions remain unproven for anti-aging at this time.
Is it safe?
In supervised medical settings, most people tolerate IM/IV administration, but risks exist—especially if products aren’t sterile. The FDA has reported adverse events tied to contaminated injectable NAD+ from some sources, underscoring the need for proper compounding and oversight.
Can it help with addiction or mood?
Claims exist, but evidence is insufficient; some small/preliminary studies and media reviews call for better trials. It is not a replacement for proven therapies.
Injection or IV—which is better?
It depends on your goals, history, and tolerability. Your clinician will tailor the route case-by-case.
How quickly will I feel different?
Some feel more hydrated/steady within hours to a day; responses vary and may relate to rest, nutrition, and hydration.
