How much does NAD+ therapy cost?
A transparent breakdown of at-home subcutaneous NAD+ at $149 for the first month, then $299 per month, versus in-clinic per-session pricing, and what drives the difference.
Quick answer
NAD+ therapy costs depend almost entirely on how it is delivered. At-home subcutaneous (SubQ) NAD+ through Kesbury Health is $149 for the first month, then $299 per month, a flat subscription that includes the compounded medication, physician oversight, and shipping to your door. In-clinic intravenous (IV) NAD+ at a drip clinic is usually priced per session and commonly runs $400 to $900 a visit on published U.S. clinic price menus, varying widely by location, dose, and how many sessions a clinic recommends. There is no insurance billing for either, NAD+ longevity care is cash-pay. NAD+ is a compounded, physician-prescribed medication dispensed only after a physician review, and individual results vary.
How much does NAD+ therapy cost in 2026?
The headline number you see online can be misleading, because two very different pricing models get lumped together under "NAD+ therapy":
- Subscription / monthly model, used by physician-directed telehealth practices for at-home subcutaneous NAD+. One predictable monthly price bundles the medication, physician oversight, and shipping.
- Per-session model, used by in-clinic drip clinics for intravenous NAD+. You pay for each individual visit, so the total depends on how many sessions you do.
A "$1,000 NAD+ treatment" headline and a "$299/month" headline are not measuring the same thing, the first is usually one in-clinic intravenous visit, the second an entire month of an at-home protocol. To compare honestly, compare on the same time window and on what is actually included.
At-home subcutaneous NAD+ cost: what $299/month includes
At Kesbury Health, at-home subcutaneous (SubQ) NAD+ is $299 per month, a flat, predictable subscription. That price is not just the medication. It includes:
- The compounded NAD+ medication, prescribed for you and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy
- Physician oversight, a licensed Kesbury Health physician directs your protocol and adjusts it over time
- Shipping to your home
- Continuity of care, the same care team follows your plan rather than treating each visit as a one-off
Because it is a subscription, the cost is the same every month. There is no per-visit surprise, no chair-time fee, and no travel. You self-administer a small subcutaneous injection at home after your physician's instruction.
In-clinic intravenous NAD+ cost: why per-session pricing varies so much
In-clinic intravenous (IV) NAD+ at a drip clinic is typically billed per session. Published drip-clinic pricing commonly lands anywhere from $400 to $900 per visit, and it varies widely because the total depends on factors a flat subscription does not have:
- Dose per session, higher doses are usually priced higher
- Location and clinic overhead, a clinic is paying for the room, the chair, and the staff time to place and monitor the IV line
- Number of sessions, clinics often recommend a series, so the real cost is the per-session price multiplied across visits
- Add-ons, vitamins or other ingredients are frequently sold alongside
The single biggest hidden cost of the in-clinic route is not on the price sheet at all: it is chair time and travel. An intravenous session can take one to several hours, plus the drive and scheduling around it.
NAD+ cost comparison: at-home subscription vs in-clinic per session
The table below compares on the factors that actually drive what you pay and what you get for it, access, continuity, time, and predictability, not a claim that one route produces better results. Comparative effectiveness between routes has not been established in large head-to-head trials.
| Factor | At-home subcutaneous (SubQ) NAD+, Kesbury Health | In-clinic intravenous (IV) NAD+, drip clinic |
|---|---|---|
| Price model | Flat $299/month subscription | Per session |
| Typical price | $299/month, all-in | Commonly $400 to $900 per visit; varies by location and dose |
| What's included | Compounded medication, physician oversight, shipping | The single visit (dose + chair time); extras often billed separately |
| Physician continuity | The same Kesbury Health physician directs and adjusts your plan | Often varies by visit and location |
| Time cost | Minutes at home, on your schedule | One to several hours of chair time, plus travel |
| Predictability | Same price every month, no per-visit surprises | Depends on dose, add-ons, and number of sessions |
| Insurance | Cash-pay (not billed to insurance) | Cash-pay (not billed to insurance) |
What actually drives the cost of NAD+ therapy?
Whichever route you choose, the price reflects more than the molecule. The real cost drivers are:
- Compounding. NAD+ used in therapy is a compounded, physician-prescribed medication made by a licensed compounding pharmacy, not an off-the-shelf product.
- Physician oversight. A legitimate provider includes a licensed physician reviewing your history, prescribing appropriately, and monitoring your plan. That clinical time is built into the price.
- Delivery. At-home programs ship the medication to you; in-clinic programs pay for the facility and staff time instead.
- Monitoring and continuity. Ongoing oversight, adjusting the protocol and ordering follow-up labs when appropriate, is part of what a subscription buys that a one-off visit may not.
A price far below these real costs is a reason to ask what is being left out, physician review, a licensed pharmacy, or ongoing oversight.
Is NAD+ therapy worth the cost?
"Worth it" is individual, and any source promising a specific result for a specific price is overstating what the evidence supports. NAD+ is a coenzyme central to cellular energy and metabolism, and research has documented that NAD+ levels decline with age [1][2]; it may support general energy and cellular-health goals, but it is not a treatment for any named medical condition, and individual results vary [3]. On the cost side specifically, the honest value question is access and predictability: a flat monthly subscription with physician oversight removes per-visit variability and chair time, which is why many people choosing on practical factors prefer the at-home route. That is a point about price structure and convenience, not a claim that it works better than an in-clinic visit.
Frequently asked questions
How much does NAD+ therapy cost per month?
At Kesbury Health, at-home subcutaneous (SubQ) NAD+ is $149 for the first month, then $299 per month. That flat subscription includes the compounded medication, physician oversight, and shipping to your home. NAD+ is a compounded, physician-prescribed medication, and individual results vary.
How much does a NAD+ IV cost compared to an injection?
In-clinic intravenous (IV) NAD+ at a drip clinic is usually billed per session and commonly runs $400 to $900 per visit on published U.S. clinic price menus, varying widely by location and dose. At-home subcutaneous injections through Kesbury Health are a flat $299 per month. The two are priced on different models, per visit versus per month, so compare them over the same time window.
Does insurance cover NAD+ therapy?
NAD+ longevity care is cash-pay and is not billed to insurance, whether you choose at-home subcutaneous injections or an in-clinic intravenous visit. Kesbury Health's at-home program is a flat $299 monthly subscription.
Why does NAD+ therapy cost what it does?
The price reflects compounding by a licensed pharmacy, physician oversight, delivery, and a physician re-evaluation about every 90 days, not just the medication itself. A price far below those real costs is a reason to ask whether physician review or a licensed pharmacy is being skipped.
Is NAD+ therapy worth the cost?
That is an individual decision. NAD+ may support general energy and cellular-health goals, but it is not a treatment for any disease, and individual results vary. On cost, an at-home subscription offers predictable monthly pricing and physician continuity without per-visit chair time, which many people find more practical than per-session billing.
Is the $299/month price all-inclusive?
Yes. Kesbury Health's $299/month covers the compounded NAD+ medication, physician oversight, and shipping. There is no separate per-visit or chair-time fee, because the protocol is delivered at home.
See your predictable monthly price, then start the evaluation
You don't have to commit to anything to see whether physician-directed NAD+ fits your goals and your budget. Start the Kesbury Health evaluation. A licensed physician reviews your goals and health history, and if NAD+ is clinically appropriate, your personalized, physician-directed plan ships to your door at a flat $299/month, no per-visit pricing and no chair time.
Kesbury Health is a LegitScript-certified telehealth longevity practice. NAD+ is a compounded medication prescribed only after physician review. This page is educational and is not individualized medical advice. Individual results vary.
What the published evidence shows
Price differences between NAD+ options track delivery and oversight, not evidence of a better result. No published trial compares outcomes at one price against another, so a higher per-session price buys a different experience, not a documented advantage.
It is worth being explicit about what the research does and does not price. The literature establishes that NAD+ declines with age in human tissue and that oral precursors raise measured NAD+ in blood, with a documented dose-response: 100, 300 and 1,000 mg per day of nicotinamide riboside raised whole-blood NAD+ by 22%, 51% and 142% in a 2019 randomized trial. None of that assigns a dollar value to a route of administration.
So when you compare two offers, you are comparing what is included, not what is proven. A flat monthly program price that carries the compounded medication, physician oversight and shipping is a different object from a per-session clinic charge that carries a chair, a nurse and an hour of your day. Neither has trial evidence that it works better than the other.
The question worth asking a provider is which of those things your price includes, and what happens to the price when your protocol changes. Individual results vary.
