NAD+ is not technically a peptide, though it is almost always grouped with them in wellness settings. It is a coenzyme present in every living cell, and it sits at the center of how your cells convert fuel into usable energy. Levels decline with age, which is the basis for the interest in restoring them. At Body Works, NAD+ is available in several delivery formats under provider supervision.
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme derived from vitamin B3 and it participates in hundreds of metabolic reactions, most importantly the process by which mitochondria produce cellular energy.
Beyond energy production, NAD+ is required by enzyme families involved in DNA repair and cellular stress response. This dual role, energy plus repair, is why it attracts attention in longevity research.
NAD+ is commonly administered by intravenous infusion, which places it directly into circulation and is the format most associated with the reported effects on mental clarity and energy. Subcutaneous injection and oral precursor supplements are also used.
The delivery route matters considerably. Oral precursors raise NAD+ indirectly by supplying building blocks, while IV delivery bypasses digestion entirely. Body Works offers NAD+ alongside its IV therapy program, and your provider will match the format to your goals.
NAD+ is not FDA-approved as a drug for the uses commonly discussed in wellness settings. Injectable and intravenous NAD+ are prepared by compounding pharmacies.
Infusion rate matters for tolerability, as NAD+ given too quickly commonly causes chest tightness, flushing, and nausea. Body Works administers NAD+ under supervision with the rate titrated to your comfort.

Not technically. NAD+ is a coenzyme rather than a peptide, though it is almost always grouped with peptide therapies in wellness settings because it is used toward similar goals around energy, recovery, and healthy aging.
It depends on your goal. Intravenous infusion places NAD+ directly into circulation and is the format most associated with reported effects on clarity and energy. Injection and oral precursors are also used. Your provider will match the format to your goals.
Infusion rate is the usual reason. NAD+ given too quickly commonly causes chest tightness, flushing, and nausea. Body Works titrates the rate to your comfort, and slowing the infusion typically resolves it.
