NAD+ IV therapy has become a mainstream longevity tool in both Los Angeles and New York City — but pricing varies wildly across providers. This guide breaks down what you should expect to pay, what drives the price difference, and how to read the menu so you don’t overpay (or underdose).
The short answer: $125 to $1,200+ per session
NAD+ IV pricing in NYC and LA spans an enormous range because providers dose differently and add concierge fees on top. Here’s the typical 2026 landscape:
| Tier | Typical dose | Price (single session) | What you’re getting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry / Intro | 250mg | $125–$200 | Lower-dose drip designed for first-timers; ~60 min |
| Standard | 500mg | $300–$500 | Moderate longevity dose; ~90 min |
| Full longevity | 750–1,000mg | $500–$900 | Full clinical protocol; 90–180 min |
| Concierge mobile | varies | +$100–$300 house-call fee | Same dose tiers, delivered to home/hotel |
| Loading series (4–6 sessions) | varies | $1,800–$5,000+ | Compressed series for first 2–4 weeks |
Dripology’s Fast NAD+ sits at the entry tier ($125, 250mL, ~60 min) — designed for people who want to feel NAD+ without committing to a full longevity protocol on day one.
Why does NAD+ cost so much more than a regular IV drip?
Three factors:
- The molecule is expensive. Pharmaceutical-grade NAD+ runs $5–$15 per 100mg at clinic wholesale. A 1,000mg dose has $50–$150 of raw material cost before staff, supplies, or margin.
- It takes much longer to administer. A standard hydration IV runs in 30–45 minutes. A full-dose NAD+ drip can take 90–180 minutes because the infusion has to be slowed to keep side effects manageable.
- Side effects need management. Many patients experience flushing, chest pressure, or stomach discomfort during NAD+ infusion. Slowing the drip and providing comfort measures requires nurse attention throughout.
How to compare providers without getting fooled
Cheap NAD+ usually means under-dosed NAD+. Ask before booking:
1. What’s the actual milligram dose?
If a provider quotes you “an NAD+ drip” without naming a specific milligram dose, that’s a red flag. A 250mg drip and a 1,000mg drip are clinically very different. The longevity research that put NAD+ on the map used doses in the 500–1,000mg range.
2. What’s the infusion time?
If a “full NAD+” session runs in under 60 minutes, the dose is almost certainly low. Real full-dose NAD+ takes time to run safely.
3. Who is administering it?
NAD+ should be administered by a registered nurse or higher, with a physician medical director overseeing protocols. If the answer is a phlebotomist or “wellness specialist,” walk away.
4. What’s their loading + maintenance protocol?
NAD+ works best as a series, not a one-off. A serious provider should walk you through a multi-session loading plan (1–2 per week for 2–4 weeks) followed by maintenance (1–2 per month).
NYC vs LA: any pricing difference?
At Dripology, NAD+ drip pricing is identical between Santa Monica and NYC — same dose, same price. The only difference is the concierge mobile fee:
- LA mobile fee: $150 on top of the drip
- NYC mobile fee: $100 on top of the drip
Most NYC providers do charge a premium versus LA — partly because NYC concierge IV is overwhelmingly mobile, and partly because NYC operating costs are simply higher.
Memberships often save money fast
If you plan to do NAD+ more than 2–3 times in a year, a wellness membership usually pays for itself. Dripology’s membership includes both LA and NYC concierge benefits.
What you should actually budget
For a serious longevity protocol:
- First month: 4–6 loading sessions at full dose. Budget $2,000–$5,000.
- Ongoing: 1–2 maintenance sessions per month. Budget $500–$1,500/mo.
If that’s outside your budget, an entry-tier intro like Fast NAD+ ($125) is a good way to see how your body responds before committing to a full series.
When NOT to do NAD+
NAD+ is not for everyone. Consult with a physician before starting if you:
- Are pregnant or trying to conceive
- Have an active cancer diagnosis
- Are taking certain chemotherapy or immunotherapy regimens
- Have severe cardiovascular disease
