NAD+ IV INFUSIONS & NAD+ INJECTIONS · EL PASO, TX
Cellular energy, restored. NAD+ IV infusions ($200) and NAD+ IM injection 4-packs ($140) at Solas Health & Wellness — Westside El Paso. Provider-led by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC. Boost energy, sharpen focus, and support healthy aging at the cellular level.
QUICK ANSWER
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential to every cell in your body. NAD+ IV therapy — delivered as an IV infusion or intramuscular injection — replenishes levels that decline with age, stress, and illness. It supports mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, brain health, and cellular recovery. At Solas Health & Wellness in El Paso, TX, NAD+ infusions start at $200 for a 250 mL starter dose and are ordered and overseen by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC.
THREE DELIVERY FORMATS
We offer NAD+ in two clinical formats so you can pick what fits your schedule, goals, and budget. We also explain why IV/IM outperform oral NAD precursors (Niagen, NMN) for most patients.
WHY SOLAS
At most IV drip bars and franchise wellness studios, your infusion is overseen by an RN following a protocol. At Solas, your NAD+ therapy is ordered and overseen by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC — a board-certified nurse practitioner who also provides functional medicine, hormone optimization, and peptide therapy. That means your NAD+ can be integrated into a comprehensive protocol, not just a standalone drip.
WHO BENEFITS MOST
If you're tired despite sleeping well and ruling out other causes, NAD+ depletion may be a factor. IV NAD+ can provide noticeable energy restoration within 24–48 hours.
NAD+ is essential for neurotransmitter production. Many patients report improved mental clarity, sharper focus, and better memory after their first infusion series.
NAD+ accelerates muscle recovery, reduces oxidative stress, and supports peak performance. Popular with runners, cyclists, and gym-goers in El Paso.
NAD+ activates sirtuins — proteins linked to lifespan extension in research. Paired with our peptide therapy and functional medicine protocols, it's a core part of a longevity stack.
NAD+ IM INJECTIONS · EL PASO
A NAD+ injection is the same molecule as the IV — delivered as a quick intramuscular shot instead of a 1.5–3 hour infusion. Most patients on a maintenance protocol prefer NAD+ injections because they fit into a lunch break and don't require time in the IV chair.
A single IM injection delivers a smaller dose (typically 100–200 mg) compared to an IV infusion (250–1000 mg). For the strongest single-session shift in energy or mental clarity, IV wins. For long-term maintenance once your NAD levels are restored, injections are usually the smarter choice.
THE SCIENCE
Short answer: it works because NAD+ is a cofactor your cells already need. The longer answer is worth a minute.
NAD+ is the molecule your mitochondria use to convert food and oxygen into ATP — the chemical energy that every cell runs on. When NAD drops, mitochondrial output drops, and you feel tired even when sleep is fine.
NAD+ is the fuel for PARP enzymes that detect and repair DNA damage. Daily UV, oxidative stress, and inflammation create damage that NAD-driven repair pathways clean up.
NAD+ activates sirtuins — a family of proteins that influence inflammation, metabolism, and the regulation of aging-related gene expression. Sirtuin activation is the mechanism most longevity research focuses on.
Oral NAD precursors (NMN, NR, Niagen) lose a meaningful fraction of their dose to digestion and liver first-pass metabolism. IV NAD+ skips both — the dose lands intact in your bloodstream and reaches your cells.
Honest framing: NAD+ is not a magic bullet. It's a cofactor that supports systems you already have. Patients who pair NAD+ with sleep, protein, and exercise typically notice the biggest shift — within 24 to 48 hours after a session.
CROSSOVER QUESTION
No — and this is one of the most common questions we get. NAD+ and GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, semaglutide, tirzepatide) work by completely different mechanisms.
Why people pair them at Solas: patients on our medical weight-loss program sometimes add NAD+ infusions or injections to support energy, training tolerance, and recovery while they're losing fat. NAD+ is not a weight-loss medication — but it's a useful supporting tool when the goal is to maintain metabolic output and recovery in a calorie deficit.
SAFETY & SIDE EFFECTS
NAD+ IV therapy has a strong safety record when administered by a qualified provider. Most patients tolerate infusions well. Here is what we screen for and what you might feel.
All of these are managed in real time by slowing the drip. They resolve quickly when the infusion rate is reduced — and disappear entirely once the session ends.

WHO IT HELPS
Patients in perimenopause and menopause often combine NAD+ with hormone optimization for energy, sleep quality, mental clarity, and healthy-aging support during a phase where mitochondrial efficiency naturally drops.
Men typically combine NAD+ with peptide therapy and hormone optimization for energy, libido, recovery, and gym performance — especially in the 35-to-60 range when natural NAD synthesis slows.
NAD+ accelerates muscle recovery, supports oxidative stress management, and is popular with runners, cyclists, and CrossFitters in El Paso, the Mesilla Valley, and Santa Teresa training communities.
Patients with brain fog, persistent fatigue, or post-illness recovery — including post-COVID — often report sharper focus and improved mood within 24–48 hours of a NAD+ session.
NAD+ activates sirtuins — proteins linked to lifespan in research. Paired with peptide therapy and functional medicine at Solas, it's a core building block for a longevity stack.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Celeste reviews your health history, symptoms, and goals. We confirm NAD+ is appropriate and determine the right dose and delivery format for you.
Infusions are started slowly to minimize side effects. Our clinical space is comfortable — most patients read, work, or relax during their session.
Many patients do an initial series (3–5 sessions over 1–2 weeks), then monthly maintenance infusions or weekly IM injections to sustain results.
NAD+ pairs well with peptide therapy, Myers' Cocktail, hormone optimization, and functional medicine protocols — all available at Solas.
COMMON QUESTIONS
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell that powers energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular communication. Levels decline naturally with age, stress, and illness. NAD+ IV therapy replenishes these levels by delivering NAD+ directly into your bloodstream (IV) or muscle (IM injection), bypassing digestion for maximum absorption.
At Solas Health & Wellness, NAD+ IV infusions start at $200 for a 250 mL starter dose. Higher-dose infusions and weekly IM injection series are also available. Pricing reflects that every infusion is ordered and overseen by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC — not delegated to a tech. Call (915) 266-3174 or book online for specific dose plans.
NAD+ is a coenzyme your cells require for energy production (ATP), DNA repair (PARP), and longevity signaling (sirtuin activation). When NAD levels drop with age or stress, those systems run less efficiently. IV NAD+ replenishes the molecule directly into the bloodstream so the full dose reaches your cells — patients typically report increased energy, sharper focus, and improved recovery within 24–48 hours. It works best when paired with sleep, nutrition, and exercise — it's a cofactor, not a magic bullet.
A NAD+ infusion is delivered through an IV over 1.5–3 hours, allowing for higher doses (250–1000 mg) and the most direct cellular uptake. A NAD+ injection delivers a smaller dose into muscle tissue in about 15 minutes — a great option for weekly maintenance between infusions or for patients with busy schedules.
At Solas Health & Wellness, NAD+ IM injections are sold as a 4-pack for $140 — about $35 per injection. Each shot takes about 15 minutes in the clinic and is administered by Celeste Cisneros, FNP-BC. The 4-pack covers a full month of weekly maintenance dosing.
Most patients on a NAD+ injection protocol come in weekly or every other week — that's why the 4-pack ($140) is structured the way it is. A weekly cadence keeps NAD levels topped up between visits. Many patients do an initial NAD+ IV infusion series first to load, then switch to weekly injections for long-term maintenance.
Both raise circulating NAD levels, but the kinetics differ. IV delivers a higher dose (250–1000 mg) with 100% bioavailability — the strongest single-session shift in energy and mental clarity. IM injections deliver a smaller dose (100–200 mg per shot) with high bioavailability but a slower release — better suited to weekly maintenance than a single 'reset' session. Many patients use both: an IV series to load, then weekly injections to maintain.
NAD+ IM injections at Solas are administered at 6633 N Mesa St, Suite 508 on the Westside of El Paso — convenient to the Upper Valley, Santa Teresa NM, and Las Cruces NM. Visits are about 15 minutes. Call (915) 266-3174 or book online.
Oral NAD+ precursors like Niagen (NR) and NMN are taken by mouth and converted to NAD+ in the body. They're convenient but have variable bioavailability — digestion, liver first-pass metabolism, and individual enzyme activity all reduce how much actually raises cellular NAD. IV NAD+ delivers the molecule directly into the bloodstream so the full dose is available to your cells, producing a faster and more noticeable effect. Many patients use both: IV for initial loading and noticeable shifts, oral precursors for daily maintenance between sessions.
Most patients tolerate NAD+ IV well. Common in-session side effects are mild and temporary: chest tightness or pressure, warmth/flushing, mild nausea, headache, or abdominal cramping. These are managed by slowing the drip rate and resolve when the session ends. NAD+ IV is not appropriate during pregnancy, in active serious infection, or in patients with severe heart or kidney disease — Celeste reviews your full health history before recommending it.
No — completely different mechanisms. Ozempic / GLP-1 medications mimic a gut hormone to reduce appetite and lower blood sugar. NAD+ is a cofactor for cellular energy and DNA repair — it does NOT directly cause weight loss. That said, many medical weight-loss patients add NAD+ to their protocol to support energy and recovery during a calorie deficit. See our medical weight-loss program for the GLP-1 path.
NAD+ IV therapy is considered a wellness/elective service and is not typically covered by health insurance. Solas Health & Wellness is a self-pay clinic — pricing is transparent and you can use HSA/FSA funds in many cases. We do not file insurance claims for NAD+ infusions.
NAD+ IV therapy has been used as a supportive intervention in early recovery from alcohol and opioid use, where patients report improved energy, reduced cravings, and better mental clarity. NAD+ is not a primary addiction treatment and is not a substitute for medical detox, counseling, or medication-assisted treatment. At Solas, we'll coordinate with your recovery team if NAD+ is being considered as part of a broader plan.
For initial results, we often recommend a series of 3–5 infusions over 1–2 weeks. After that, monthly infusions or weekly IM injections are common maintenance schedules. Celeste will recommend a protocol based on your individual goals and response to treatment.
Yes. NAD+ can be combined with Myers' Cocktail, vitamin injections (B12, glutathione), or hydration drips. Many patients also integrate NAD+ with peptide therapy, hormone optimization, medical weight loss, or functional medicine care for a comprehensive wellness protocol.
