NAD+ is the buzziest infusion in Bali right now — sold as everything from an anti-ageing reset to a hangover cure to a recovery tool. It's also the slowest, most demanding drip we run, and the one we screen hardest before agreeing to. Here's what NAD+ therapy actually is, what the science does and doesn't support, what the session genuinely feels like (it's not always comfortable), and who it suits — written by the nurses who sit with you for the full two-to-four hours.
What NAD+ Actually Is
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It's central to how your cells turn food into energy and to a family of repair and signalling processes. Levels are thought to decline with age and to be depleted by stress, illness and heavy alcohol use. The theory behind NAD+ infusions is simple: deliver the raw material intravenously and support the cellular machinery that depends on it. The intravenous route matters here because, like vitamin C, oral absorption is limited — though NAD+ science is genuinely younger and less settled than the marketing suggests.
What the Evidence Supports — and What It Doesn't
What guests most reliably report is a sense of mental clarity and steadier energy in the days after a course, and many use it as a periodic reset rather than a one-off. We think that's the right expectation: a considered wellness investment, eyes open.
Why It Has to Run Slowly
This is the part the glossy posts skip. Pushed too fast, NAD+ causes real, if harmless, discomfort — chest tightness, flushing, a racing or "wired" feeling, nausea, even an urge to move. That's why a proper NAD+ drip runs slowly over 2 to 4 hours, with the nurse adjusting the rate to your comfort the entire time. Speed is controlled by symptoms: the moment you feel it, we slow down. A clinic that rushes NAD+ to save time is doing it wrong. Our NAD+ IV therapy is always nurse-attended start to finish for exactly this reason.
What a NAD+ Session in Bali Feels Like
Thorough screening
Because it's a long, intensive infusion, we screen carefully — heart conditions, blood pressure, medications and pregnancy are all decisive. We turn people away when it isn't appropriate.
Settle in
Pick a comfortable spot — you'll be there a while. Bring a book, headphones, a film. Many guests doze.
Slow infusion
The nurse starts low and slow, checks in constantly, and dials the rate up or down to keep you comfortable across 2–4 hours.
Aftercare
Most people feel clear-headed afterwards. We talk through hydration and whether a single session or a short course fits your goals.
Who NAD+ Suits — and Who Should Skip It
Good fit: longer-stay guests and wellness-focused travellers wanting a considered energy-and-clarity reset, people recovering from a draining period, and those who've researched it and have realistic expectations. Not a fit: anyone wanting a quick hangover or Bali-belly fix (the Hangover IV or Bali Belly IV are the right, faster, cheaper tools), and anyone with significant heart or blood-pressure conditions, or who is pregnant, without a doctor's sign-off.
What It Costs and How to Decide
NAD+ is our most premium infusion — it starts from IDR 3.500.000, reflecting the dose, the materials and the two-to-four hours of dedicated nurse time. See the full menu on the pricing page. If you're weighing it up, the best thing to do is message us on WhatsApp and describe your goals. We'd genuinely rather steer you to a cheaper, faster drip — or to nothing at all — than sell you a long infusion you don't need. That honesty is the whole point of how we work; more on our about page.
