Cost, timing, and frequency

Costs vary by formula and add-ons, but most single-session treatments range from a one-time hangover drip to more advanced NAD+ sessions. Typical infusion times are 30 to 90 minutes. Frequency depends on goals: occasional relief can be single sessions, while maintenance or regenerative NAD+ may involve a series scheduled weekly or monthly.

Always discuss medical history and medications with your provider before booking. With physician oversight and licensed staff, you can choose the IV that best fits your symptoms and lifestyle.
