Noctis Aurora files NAD+ under “Brain Reboot & Anti-aging.” The menu gives two ways to have it: an IV infusion for $300, upon request only, or an injection at $50 for each 50mg. Picking between them is mostly about time, cost and rhythm, and it helps to know what the molecule is first.
What NAD+ is
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme: a helper molecule cells rely on to turn food into usable energy and to run a long list of repair processes. A 2023 review in the Journals of Gerontology describes how NAD+ levels may be lower in older tissue, which is the reason the idea of topping it up has drawn so much interest. A 2021 review in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology describes the same gradual decline in tissue NAD+ with age, in rodents and in people. The spa’s menu puts it simply: “As we age, NAD+ levels decline.”
The same review is careful about the next step. It finds limited evidence so far that raising NAD+ produces clinical benefits in people, and it calls for more trials. Clients do report feeling more energy afterward, and the menu says so, but Noctis Aurora’s policy is that results vary and nothing is guaranteed. Both things can be true.
The infusion
The NAD+ IV takes about 120 minutes, which is the main reason it is offered upon request rather than as a routine booking. For two hours you are in your own chair, at home or in a hotel room, while it runs. It costs $300 with the travel fee included.
The injections
An injection is 50mg for $50, and the menu offers weekly injections for clients who want a routine rather than an occasion. It takes minutes, not hours, and it can be added to another appointment, such as an IV hydration bag, while the provider is already there.
Deciding
If you want one long session and have the afternoon, the infusion fits. If you would rather keep it small and regular, injections do. Either way the first step is the virtual consultation every new client completes, where you can ask which suits you. The prices and the description sit on the NAD+ page, and the other injections are under vitamin injections.
