Over the last couple of years, we’ve heard a slew of anecdotal reports claiming NAD+ IVs provide a variety of significant benefits (Link). What about consumer experiences with the new Nicotinamide Riboside “NR” (FAQs) (Reviews) IV? Here’s a frank, first person account from Bill Walker (also an oral NR consumer):

From Bill Walker on his Niagen+ IV (NR IV) experience:

“I just got my first NR (NiagenPlus) IV infusion.

I went to the NiagenPlus website and found the local supplier (for me it was Drip Hydration), and scheduled an appointment.

They asked a few screening questions about general health.

Their nurse came to my home and gave the IV.

It took about 45 minutes because the nurse had never given NR before and wanted to be conservative.

(They mentioned that NAD+ users usually get stomach cramps and the infusions take a long time).

There were no side effects at all.

Presumably once they are more experienced with NR, the process will only take half an hour.

They charge $799 for an NR infusion.

NAD costs $999.

If you want to try raising NAD+ in your cells, then NiagenPlus is a more comfortable and less expensive way to go.

…If money were no object I’d do it at least once a month.

Q: Can you describe the difference between what you feel with NR capsules vs. the NR IV?

No… that’s just going too far into placeboland.

Obviously I was prepped to “feel” good by the big payment and the visit from the nurse.

…Honestly I feel really great today.

I “feel” much stronger than before the infusion.

But there’s no control twin of me to compare.
