Is NAD+ IV therapy worth it?
That depends on what you expect from it. As wellness support taken with realistic expectations and under medical supervision, plenty of people find it a considered purchase. As a solution to a specific problem it is not a sound bet, because the human evidence for the intravenous route is still emerging. Weigh that before you buy ten sessions.
Does NAD+ IV therapy reverse ageing?
No, and we do not present it that way. NAD+ levels do decline with age, which is where the popular framing comes from, but showing that an infusion changes the course of ageing in humans is a much harder claim and it has not been established. Reviews of NAD+ precursors in human ageing describe the clinical picture as developing, with open questions rather than settled answers.
What does the human evidence actually show?
Most of it concerns oral precursors rather than intravenous NAD+. Randomised trials of nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide in healthy adults report that supplementation raises circulating NAD+ and is generally well tolerated, and a meta-analysis has examined effects on glucose and lipid measures. Controlled human data on intravenous NAD+ specifically remains limited, which is where the field currently stands.
How much does NAD+ IV therapy cost in Seoul?
A single infusion is ₩300,000 (≈ $215) at Dear Clinic and a course of ten is ₩2,500,000 (≈ $1,785). Locals and international visitors pay the same published rate, and the doctor consultation and screening are included in the session price.
Is it a treatment for a medical condition?
No. It is offered as wellness support and is not a therapy for any disease, nor a substitute for proper investigation of a symptom. If what you describe suggests something that needs looking into, the right response is a medical assessment, and the doctor will say so instead of hanging a drip.
How long does a NAD+ appointment take, and does it hurt?
The intravenous menu at Dear Clinic is designed around short appointments — the Dear Vital infusions take about 20 minutes, with no anaesthesia and an immediate return to ordinary activity. Infusion time for a NAD+ session is confirmed at your consultation, since the rate follows your comfort. The only sharp moment is the needle going in; after that it is a seated wait, and if anything feels uncomfortable while the bag runs, say so at once so the rate can be slowed or the infusion stopped.
What are the side effects, and is there downtime?
You return to your day straight afterwards. Redness, bruising, swelling or discomfort at the injection site are the common findings and are usually temporary. A passing heaviness or tiredness later in the day is also possible and settles by itself, so it is sensible not to plan anything demanding right after a first session while you learn how you respond. Any suspected allergic reaction should be reported to the clinic immediately, which is why the medication and allergy review happens before the infusion is prepared.
Who should not have it?
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, taking anticoagulants, carrying a significant allergy history or managing a chronic condition needs to discuss it with the doctor first, and that conversation can end with us declining. Bring your medication list, supplements included, and let the doctor make the call.
Should I book one session or the course of ten?
Start with one unless you already know how you respond. A course is priced below ten separate sessions, but the discount is not a reason to commit before you have any personal experience of the infusion. You can always move to a course afterwards.
How is this different from a vitamin infusion?
They are different contents with different rationales. The clinic's Dear Vital line covers vitamin, glutathione and similar infusions built around skin condition and general nutrition, while NAD+ is its own item on the menu at its own price. Which one is actually being asked for tends to become clear during the consultation.
Can I have it on the same day as my consultation?
Usually yes, once the doctor has read your medication list and is satisfied the infusion is appropriate for you. Screening and a NAD+ session fit inside one visit, and the clinic is open 365 days a year including Sundays and public holidays, so a Saturday or Sunday slot is as available as a weekday one.
Do international visitors pay a different price for NAD+, and how do I book?
No. The same published list applies to everyone: ₩300,000 (≈ $215) for a single infusion and ₩2,500,000 (≈ $1,785) for the course of ten, with KRW as what you pay and USD shown for reference. Send the consultation form below with your travel dates and your current medication and supplement list, so the screening questions are already answered when you walk in.
