Real NAD+ prices, from real menus
These figures come from published clinic menus we track across 66 U.S. cities — not estimates. The median city starting price for an NAD+ infusion is about $255, the average is $309, and the spread is wide: the lowest published starting price is $50 (Corpus Christi) and the highest is $799 (Tucson). These are each city's lowest listed NAD+ price; menus don't always state the milligrams behind them.
Clinic menus typically sell NAD+ in dose tiers — commonly 250mg, 500mg, and 1,000mg — with prices stepping up sharply per tier: on menus we've reviewed, roughly $250 for a 250mg starter, $500–$600 at 500mg, and $800–$1,000 for a full 1,000mg infusion. Much of the citywide spread reflects those tiers and session length.
Why NAD+ costs so much more than other drips
Two reasons clinics consistently give: the compound is expensive, and the infusion is slow. NAD+ infused quickly is commonly reported to cause chest tightness, cramping, and nausea, so clinic protocols run it over two to four hours — several times longer than a standard vitamin drip, which means several times the chair time and nursing time.
That's also why you should be wary of an NAD+ price that looks too good: a legitimate dose, infused at a tolerable rate under nursing supervision, has real costs behind it. Compare the milligrams, not just the sticker.
How to pay less
NAD+ is commonly sold as a multi-session series, and clinics often discount packages against their single-session price — do the per-session math before committing. Some clinics also offer smaller 'intro' doses to test tolerance first.
Elective NAD+ therapy is generally not covered by insurance. Many clinics accept HSA/FSA cards, but card acceptance doesn't make an elective infusion a qualified medical expense — check eligibility with your plan administrator. And compare your city's real menu prices before booking: the same tier can vary by hundreds of dollars between clinics in one metro.
Frequently asked
Why do NAD+ prices vary so much between clinics?+
Dose tiers, infusion time, and staffing. A $199 'NAD+ drip' is usually a small 100–250mg dose; a $700+ session is typically 750–1,000mg run over several hours with nursing supervision. Compare the milligrams, not just the sticker.
Is a cheap NAD+ drip worth it?+
A small starter dose can be a reasonable way to test tolerance, but if you're paying for NAD+ specifically, confirm the actual milligrams — at very low doses you're mostly buying the fluids and the experience.
How many NAD+ sessions do people book?+
Clinic menus commonly sell NAD+ as a multi-session loading series with occasional maintenance infusions after. Published evidence for any specific protocol is limited, so let your budget and how you actually feel drive the count — not a package upsell.
