Dripdok has a proven track record of innovation in the field of regenerative medicine. As the first clinic in Southeast Asia to introduce NAD+ IV therapy in 2019, Dripdok continues to lead the industry by staying at the forefront of scientific advancements.

Today, we are proud to be the first in the region to offer NMN IV therapy, working in close collaboration with renowned researchers and cutting-edge laboratories in Japan. This exclusive partnership ensures that we provide our patients with the highest quality, research-backed NMN therapy, setting a new standard for NAD+ restoration and longevity treatments.

By consistently pioneering new therapies, Dripdok reaffirms its commitment to delivering safe, effective, and science-based regenerative solutions that enhance patient outcomes.

Here are five of the biggest benefits of NMN IV versus NAD IV therapy:

1. More Efficient NAD+ Synthesis

NMN IV directly provides the precursor to NAD+, allowing the body to efficiently convert NMN into NAD+ within cells. Unlike NAD IV, which introduces NAD+ directly into the bloodstream, NMN IV leverages the body’s natural enzymatic pathways for NAD+ production, potentially resulting in more efficient and sustained increases in intracellular NAD+ levels.

2. Faster Cellular Uptake

NMN is a smaller molecule and can be more readily taken up by cells compared to NAD+. Studies suggest that NMN may cross cell membranes more easily than NAD+, meaning NMN IV could lead to faster restoration of intracellular NAD+ levels in tissues, including muscle and brain cells, compared to NAD IV.

3. Fewer Side Effects and Discomfort

NAD IV therapy is often associated with discomfort during the infusion, including a burning sensation, nausea, or lightheadedness. NMN IV tends to cause fewer of these side effects, likely because the body converts NMN gradually into NAD+, avoiding the rapid influx of NAD+ that may cause these adverse effects.

4. Potential for Better Mitochondrial Function

Since NMN is a precursor to NAD+, it supports more natural production of NAD+ in the mitochondria, leading to potentially better mitochondrial function. This natural synthesis might make NMN IV more beneficial for supporting energy metabolism and mitochondrial health compared to direct NAD IV, which might not localize as effectively within cells.

5. Greater Longevity Benefits

NMN supplementation via IV has shown potential in longevity studies, especially concerning age-related decline in NAD+ levels. NMN IV may better mimic the body’s natural NAD+ replenishment system by providing a precursor that enables continuous NAD+ production in a manner more aligned with healthy aging processes, compared to NAD IV which only provides a temporary spike in NAD+.



Here’s a summary of NMN IV therapy provided by Dripdok, which highlights the benefits, pricing, and comparisons to global offerings:

NMN IV vs. NAD IV Therapy

  1. More Efficient NAD+ Synthesis:
    NMN IV enables the body to naturally convert NMN into NAD+ within cells through enzymatic pathways, allowing for more sustained intracellular NAD+ levels compared to the direct infusion of NAD IV.

  2. Faster Cellular Uptake:
    NMN, being a smaller molecule, is more readily absorbed by cells compared to NAD+, leading to faster and more efficient restoration of NAD+ in critical tissues like muscles and the brain.

  3. Fewer Side Effects and Discomfort:
    NMN IV causes fewer side effects than NAD IV, which is known to induce discomfort such as burning sensations or nausea during administration. This is due to the gradual conversion of NMN to NAD+, allowing for a smoother infusion experience.

  4. Improved Mitochondrial Function:
    NMN supports more natural mitochondrial NAD+ production, potentially leading to better cellular energy metabolism, and long-term mitochondrial health than direct NAD IV therapy.

  5. Longevity Benefits:
    NMN IV may better mimic the body’s natural processes for NAD+ replenishment, with studies suggesting it is more aligned with the body’s aging processes, providing continuous and sustainable NAD+ production compared to the temporary spike from NAD IV.

Dripdok’s NMN IV Research Backed Protocol | Therapy:

Dripdok offers a research backed and proven NMN IV protocol, which includes:

  • Frequency: 2x a week for 2 weeks

  • Cost: $2,500 for the complete 4-day course

  • Service: Includes home service, offering convenience for patients.

  • Add-On Discount: $150 all four sessions will come with a Myers Cocktail

  • Takes only 30 minutes compared to the necessary 2.5-4 hours of NAD+

  • No Discomfort!


Global Comparison:

Dripdok's price point for 4 sessions of NMN IV therapy is highly competitive compared to global pricing. There are not many clinics offering this therapy. As we are the second clinic outside of Japan to offer this innovative IV - prices besides Japan are estimated from 7 years of clinical experience and research.

For similar NMN IV protocols (ranging between 300mg per session), global prices generally vary as follows and the US and EU are a consensus of opinions.

Also, global prices typically do not include home charges, doctors consultations, etc...

  • United States: Prices range from $3,500 for a not at home (in clinic) 4-session treatment. (estimated)

  • Europe: Clinics charge around £2,500 ($3,100) for comparable dosing. (estimated)

  • Japan: Given its local production and research collaboration, prices range from ¥300,000 ($2,700 USD) for comparable treatments.

Dripdok brings world-class care directly to the comfort of your home, villa, or hotel, offering a level of convenience that is often unavailable or prohibitively expensive abroad.

Our dedicated team ensures a seamless and stress-free experience, allowing you to focus on your health while we take care of everything else. With Dripdok, personalized, high-quality treatments are delivered at your convenience, wherever you are.

Why Choose Dripdok?

Dripdok offers a more affordable and personalized approach, including home services, that provide the same cutting-edge NMN therapy found globally, making it highly convenient and accessible for patients. With exclusive partnerships with leading Japanese labs, Dripdok ensures the highest standards of purity and effectiveness for its treatments.

In summary, NMN IV offers superior cellular uptake, reduced side effects, and more sustained benefits for mitochondrial function and longevity, making it a compelling alternative to NAD IV for certain patients and clinical applications.
