NAD Therapy Near Me: Rockville & Reston | HITx Clinic | HITx
NAD+ therapy delivers nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide directly into your bloodstream to support the cellular energy production and DNA repair processes your body needs every day. At HITx in Rockville, MD and Reston, VA, we offer NAD+ IV infusions for patients looking to support cellular energy and mental focus. Our protocol begins with four loading sessions to raise your NAD+ levels, then moves to maintenance and adjustment sessions tailored to how you respond. IV delivery bypasses digestive processing, reaching your mitochondria in full concentration. NAD+ is a natural molecule that declines with age. Research on IV NAD+ is still developing, and we make no claims that it treats or cures any disease or condition.
What Is NAD+ Therapy?
NAD+ is a molecule found in every cell, central to converting food into energy and activating enzymes that repair cellular damage. As we age, NAD+ levels drop, and some research suggests this decline may contribute to fatigue and age-related changes in cognition. NAD+ therapy is an IV infusion that delivers the coenzyme directly into circulation. It’s used by people who want to support their energy production and mental clarity. At HITx, NAD+ is also part of our broader peptide therapy and longevity programs, where it pairs with other interventions to support optimal function. You’ll find more about those programs on our peptide therapy and IV therapy pages.
What Are People Looking for with NAD+ Therapy?
Patients come to HITx for NAD+ therapy with a range of goals: sustained energy and mental clarity throughout the day, support for healthy aging, and faster recovery after exertion. Some are already on hormone optimization or weight-loss programs and add NAD+ to support cellular function. Others are new to regenerative medicine and start with NAD+ as a standalone intervention. We do not prescribe NAD+ to treat addiction or neurological disease, and we make no guaranteed outcomes. NAD+ is a cellular-level intervention many patients explore to support energy and repair pathways—a good starting point for a conversation about your goals.
How Does the HITx NAD+ Protocol Work?
Our NAD+ program begins with four loading sessions designed to raise your baseline NAD+ levels. After that, we move to maintenance sessions, typically spaced further apart, and adjust the frequency and dose based on how you feel and what your labs show. Some patients continue every few weeks; others go monthly or longer. The clinic will work with you to find the rhythm that sustains your results without over-treating. NAD+ is also available as part of the Ascend membership, which includes ongoing consultations, lab panels, and access to our Longevity Lab for body composition and cognitive testing. If you’re combining NAD+ with hormone therapy, peptides, or medical weight loss, Ascend keeps everything coordinated under one plan.
We prescribe the dose
Weekly or twice a week. Intramuscular or subcutaneous. Your provider shows you which, and watches you do the first one.
You inject at home
Same days each week. A few minutes. Nothing to rub on every morning.
Levels rise, then ease off
A weekly shot peaks and tapers. Twice a week keeps the level closer to even.
We change the dose from labs
If you feel off or the number is high or low, the next shot is the adjustment. You do not wait for a new implant.
NAD+ IV Therapy vs. NAD+ Injections
NAD+ can be delivered by IV infusion or intramuscular injection. IV infusions deliver higher doses in a single session, making them ideal for loading protocols. Injections are faster and may suit patients who need smaller, more frequent doses or who travel often. At HITx, we help you choose the delivery method that fits your schedule and how your body responds. We’ll discuss your options during your consultation and adjust the plan as we see how you respond over time.

What a NAD+ Session Is Like
NAD+ IV sessions happen in a private treatment room at our Rockville or Reston clinic. You’ll sit in a comfortable chair while the infusion runs. Session length varies by dose and your tolerance, and the clinic will advise you on timing when you book. Some patients feel mild nausea during the infusion; slowing the drip usually resolves it. We monitor you throughout and adjust the rate if needed. Many patients work on a laptop or rest. After the session, you can drive and resume normal activity. Some people feel a lift in energy and focus right away; for others, the effect builds over the loading phase. There’s no standard timeline, and we don’t promise specific outcomes.
NAD+ Therapy and Your Longevity Plan
NAD+ works best as part of a broader plan. At HITx, we often combine it with hormone optimization, peptide protocols like BPC-157 or thymosin beta-4, and gut health or genetic testing to address root causes of fatigue and decline. If you’re on testosterone therapy or women’s HRT, NAD+ may support the energy and recovery you’re already building with hormones. If you’re new to regenerative medicine, NAD+ can be a good entry point before committing to a larger program. We’ll talk through your goals, review your history, and design a plan that makes sense for where you are now. You can read more about how we structure longevity care on our Ascend membership page, or browse case studies and updates on our blog.

Session length depends on the dose and your tolerance. The clinic will advise you on timing when you schedule. Some sessions are shorter; others take longer if we slow the drip to manage side effects.
