NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. You have it in every cell in your body. Your mitochondria — the power stations inside each cell — depend on NAD to convert food into energy. It also affects DNA repair, brain function, and how fast you age. As NAD levels decline with age, you feel it: less energy, slower recovery, brain fog, muscle loss, and increased risk for chronic disease.
Treatment at Taylor Medical Group delivers NAD directly into your bloodstream, bypassing digestion for 100 percent absorption. Our infusion is combined with an amino acid cocktail that includes glutamine, tryptophan, and tyrosine for full nutrient support. Every infusion is physician-supervised in our Sandy Springs office.
We serve patients from Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Buckhead, Brookhaven, and Chamblee seeking NAD therapy for brain health, energy, anti-aging, addiction recovery, and chronic fatigue.

This metabolic co-enzyme is charged with structuring, repairing, and remodeling every cell in the body. It binds to niacin (vitamin B3) to make it active so your body can use it. Without enough NAD, your cells cannot produce energy efficiently, repair DNA damage, or protect themselves from oxidative stress.
Research shows that these levels decline substantially with age. As a result, this decline leaves you at greater risk for neurological and muscular degeneration, cardiovascular problems, and reduced capacity for cellular repair. Infusion therapy replenishes what your body has lost and targets brain restoration at the cellular level.
Your brain needs it for healthy function, energy production, and DNA repair. These enzymes require constant replenishment — and IV delivery is the most effective way to restore them.
Treatment can help those suffering from a range of conditions that share a common thread — cellular energy depletion:
Depression — Your neurotransmitter balance and brain cell energy both depend on NAD, both of which are disrupted in depression. Patients who have not responded to traditional antidepressants may benefit. NAD IV therapy can also be combined with ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant cases.
PTSD — Post-traumatic stress disorder depletes brain energy and disrupts neural pathways. Restoring cellular energy needed for brain recovery.
Chronic Fatigue — When mitochondria cannot produce enough energy, fatigue becomes constant. Without enough of it, your cells simply cannot keep up.
Mental and Cognitive Decline — Brain fog, poor focus, and memory problems often trace back to low NAD levels. NAD IV therapy supports mental clarity and protects against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Neurological Disorders — Your neurons depend on it for protection and communication.
Muscular Disorders — NAD improves blood flow and cellular energy in muscle tissue, supporting strength, coordination, and recovery.
Addiction — Drug and alcohol abuse depletes NAD. Once restored, it helps flush substances from the body, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and decrease cravings.
Mitochondrial Disease — It directly supports mitochondrial function, which is disrupted in mitochondrial disorders and implicated in diabetes, obesity, and cancer.
1. Brain Function — NAD helps the brain meet its oxygen requirement. It is an important part of energy production in the brain. The therapy improves focus, mental clarity, and protects against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
2. Muscle Health — NAD improves blood flow and increases cellular energy levels, which improves strength, coordination, and athletic ability. Whether you are preventing age-related muscle loss or training as an athlete, NAD supports muscle performance and DNA repair in muscle tissue.
3. Weight Loss — When your NAD levels are healthy, your metabolism runs more efficiently — food converts to energy instead of getting stored as fat. Patients pursuing medical weight loss often benefit from adding NAD therapy to their program.
4. Liver Function — The liver is sensitive to declining levels of this molecule. Patients who have over-stressed their liver through alcohol consumption or a high-fat diet can benefit from this therapy to support healthy liver function.
5. Energy and Fatigue Reduction — Your cells produce ATP — raw energy — through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. It charges your cellular batteries and reduces physical fatigue. Many patients notice increased energy and faster recovery after physical exertion.
6. Anti-Aging and Longevity — DNA repair slows down as you age. NAD helps reverse that decline. Research has shown positive effects on blood vessels, cardiovascular health, and the nervous system. Regular NAD treatments support cellular survival and may help prevent cancer.
7. Hangover Recovery — After a heavy night, your neurotransmitter balance is wrecked. NAD corrects that. It protects the liver and helps eliminate symptoms like headaches, fatigue, nausea, insomnia, and cravings. Combine with IV hydration for faster recovery.
8. Addiction Recovery — Drug and alcohol abuse depletes NAD. Because of this, people who naturally produce less NAD are more likely to develop addictions. It flushes substances from the body, reduces withdrawal symptoms, decreases cravings for alcohol and opioids, and lessens the pain of withdrawal. It also promotes neurotransmitter balance that addiction disrupts.
9. Mitochondrial Health — Mitochondria produce energy, regulate metabolism, and control programmed cell death. They change shape, number, and function in response to exercise, diet, temperature, hormones, and stress. NAD keeps the metabolic enzymes running that power glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and fatty acid oxidation. When mitochondria dysfunction, it shows up as diabetes, obesity, neurodegeneration, and cancer.
Addiction depletes NAD in the brain and body. People who naturally make less NAD are more likely to develop dependence on drugs or alcohol. When those levels crash, withdrawal symptoms become more intense, cravings are harder to resist, and recovery takes longer.
For addiction, the therapy works by flushing drugs and alcohol from the body, reducing withdrawal symptoms, decreasing cravings for alcohol and opioids, and restoring neurotransmitter balance that substance abuse disrupts. The dose and length of NAD sessions vary based on the severity of the addiction. Our physicians will determine the right protocol for your situation.
The therapy does not replace a complete addiction treatment program. It supports the physical recovery that makes everything else — therapy, behavioral changes, long-term sobriety — easier to sustain.
Mitochondria are small organelles inside your cells that produce energy, regulate metabolism, manage intracellular signaling, and control apoptosis (programmed cell death). They are inherited from your mother and contain their own DNA.
Mitochondria change their shape, number, and function in response to your environment — exercise, diet, temperature, hormones, and stress all affect how well they perform. Without it, they cannot do their job. NAD keeps the metabolic enzymes running that power glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and fatty acid oxidation.
Because of this, mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of mitochondrial disorders and is also implicated in aging, diabetes, obesity, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Restoring these levels through IV therapy directly supports mitochondrial function and cellular health.
NAD IV therapy is available at drip bars and health lounges across Atlanta. Here is why patients choose a medical practice instead:
Physician-supervised. Dr. Eldred Taylor and Dr. Ava Bell-Taylor oversee every NAD infusion. Over 20 years of experience in integrative medicine.
Customized protocols. Dose and session length are adjusted to your condition — whether that is addiction recovery, anti-aging, brain restoration, or chronic fatigue.
Amino acid cocktail included. Our NAD IV is combined with glutamine, tryptophan, and tyrosine for full nutrient support — not a plain NAD drip.
Part of a bigger picture. If your fatigue, brain fog, or mood issues connect to hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, or nutritional deficiency, it gets caught here. We test and treat the root cause — not the symptom alone.
How long does a NAD IV session take?
Sessions typically last 2 to 4 hours depending on the dose. NAD must be infused slowly to minimize side effects. Most patients relax, read, or work on a laptop during the session.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your condition. Anti-aging and energy patients often see results from a series of 3 to 5 sessions followed by monthly maintenance. Addiction recovery protocols typically require more frequent and longer sessions. Your physician will create a plan based on your needs.
Are there side effects?
NAD IV therapy is generally well tolerated. Some patients experience mild nausea, flushing, or chest tightness during infusion, which resolves when the drip rate is slowed. Serious side effects are rare.
Can I combine NAD with other IV treatments?
Yes. NAD pairs well with glutathione IV, high-dose vitamin C, and Myers’ Cocktail. Your physician can recommend the right combination.
Why not just take NAD supplements?
Oral NAD precursors like NMN and NR can support NAD production over time, but they are limited by digestive absorption. IV delivery achieves 100 percent absorption immediately and produces faster, more measurable results — especially for patients dealing with severe depletion from aging, addiction, or chronic illness.
