Recharge with a 60–90-minute IV Drip Therapy session at Restore Hyper Wellness. Infused with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, this therapy helps boost hydration, replenish nutrients, support immunity, and enhance energy and performance.
There’s something remarkable about truly listening to your body—especially when you’re living in a high-energy city like New York, where the pace rarely slows. For me, wellness isn’t just about taking breaks or finding time to relax; it’s about restoring my body in ways that actually make a difference. That’s exactly what I experienced at Restore Hyper Wellness, and weeks later, I can still feel the lasting benefits.
My Experience with Niagen (NR) IV Drips
When I first walked into Restore Hyper Wellness, I had no idea how transformative the experience would be. I had heard about Niagen (NR) IV Drips, a cutting-edge treatment designed to gradually and consistently boost NAD+ levels, but I wasn’t sure what to expect. I asked countless questions—wanting to understand every detail about the science behind it, the benefits, and why so many people, including top athletes, swear by it.
The check-in was seamless and efficient—everything about the process felt carefully designed to maximize both comfort and effectiveness. The staff exuded a passion for wellness that instantly made me feel at ease. From their knowledge about NAD+ therapy to their genuine enthusiasm for helping clients optimize their health, it was clear that they love what they do.
Once I was hooked up to the IV, the session itself was smooth and relaxing. As the infusion began, I could feel a gradual wave of hydration and rejuvenation wash over me. It wasn’t instant, but subtly, my body was absorbing the essential nutrients it had been missing. I left feeling refreshed—but the most unexpected benefit came in the days and weeks that followed. My energy levels stayed elevated, my mental clarity improved, and I noticed an overall sense of wellness that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Two weeks later, I still feel the effects, and I already know I’ll be returning for more sessions.

& Education at Restore Hyper Wellness
In the ever-evolving landscape of wellness and longevity, NAD+ has emerged as a powerhouse molecule essential for cellular health, energy production, and aging support. As scientific research continues to unlock its full potential, the debate over the most effective ways to boost NAD+ levels has intensified. Should you opt for oral supplementation or IV therapy for maximum impact? To explore this fascinating topic, we turn to Dr. Rachele Pojednic, Director of Scientific Research & Education at Restore Hyper Wellness, for insights into the latest advancements in NAD+ optimization.
Joseph DeAcetis: How does boosting NAD+ levels through Niagen IV drips differ from taking NAD+ supplements orally?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: Boosting NAD+ levels through Niagen IV drips offers a faster and more direct impact compared to taking NAD+ supplements orally.
Joseph DeAcetis: What is the core function of Niagen (NR), and how does it support the body’s natural systems?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: Niagen is a powerful, patented, pharmaceutical-grade form of NR (nicotinamide riboside), and it’s the most efficient and superior precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) available on the market. When you take NR, your body converts it into intracellular NAD+. With an IV drip, nicotinamide riboside (the active form in Niagen) is delivered straight to the cells, where it can be absorbed and converted into NAD+. Also, the NAD+ molecule is not absorbed well, if at all, through the digestive system, so an oral product would not be an appropriate choice if you wanted to increase cellular NAD+. Moreover, in a recent third-party test, only 13% of oral NR products met the specified amount on the label. Every batch of Niagen IV is tested for concentration and safety.
Joseph DeAcetis: From a preventative wellness perspective, how often should someone receive Niagen IV drips to experience noticeable benefits?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: Restore Hyper Wellness recommends receiving up to 4 IV drips every month for a maximum of 4,000mg within 28 days.
Joseph DeAcetis: What types of clients or lifestyles benefit most from NAD+ boosting treatments like this one?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: Niagen IVs are a great option for just about anyone looking to boost their energy, improve skin, enhance recovery, or optimize overall wellness. They can be especially beneficial for people feeling fatigued, burned out, or struggling with low energy and brain fog. Athletes and fitness buffs often turn to Niagen to help speed up recovery after intense workouts, while aging adults appreciate the support it offers for healthy aging, brain function, and even skin vitality.
Joseph DeAcetis: Can you elaborate on the role NAD+ plays in aging and how Niagen IV therapy may help slow down that process?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: Once NR is converted into NAD+, NAD+ plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including improved energy production, DNA repair, cellular health, metabolism, and cognition.
Every cell in the human body contains a molecule called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is a critical coenzyme involved in energy production and various cellular processes such as DNA repair, cellular energy, and mitochondrial health. However, NAD+ levels decrease with age and life stressors such as alcohol consumption or chronic inflammation, which are associated with negative health outcomes.
NR and NAD+ infusions are different because they are unique molecules. During NAD+ therapy, large concentrations of the active form of the molecule are infused into your bloodstream, but NAD+ is not typically present in high concentrations in the blood (it is typically compartmentalized inside the cell). This high concentration in the blood is safe and will eventually be converted to NR so it can be absorbed, but it may result in adverse experiences, such as headaches or nausea, because it is thought to temporarily trigger the immune system. On the other hand, Niagen (NR) is found naturally in our food system—in products like milk, brewer’s yeast, soybeans, cucumber, and cabbage—so it does not trigger this immune response. NR easily travels in the bloodstream, is absorbed through a dedicated channel in the cell, and is converted naturally to NAD+ once absorbed. IV infusion time is 75% faster and the effects are longer lasting with fewer adverse experiences.
Joseph DeAcetis: The process felt seamless during my experience. What specific technologies or training does Restore implement to ensure optimal safety and comfort?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: At Restore, safety and comfort are central to every IV therapy experience. All of our registered nurses receive specialized training to screen for any contraindications identified by our Nurse Practitioners prior to administering Niagen or any NAD+ therapy. We use a client-controlled drip system, which allows each individual to adjust the infusion rate based on their tolerance—making the experience more personalized and comfortable. To support recovery, we now offer a customizable post-infusion cleanse drip, tailored to the client’s unique needs to help them feel refreshed and rejuvenated after their session.
Joseph DeAcetis: What can a first-time patient expect immediately following a Niagen IV drip session in terms of energy, mood, or focus?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: A first-time patient can expect to experience a sense of refreshed energy and improved mental clarity. Some people also notice a subtle improvement in mood, feeling a little calmer and more balanced.
Joseph DeAcetis: How does Restore differentiate its Niagen (NR) IV therapy from others available on the market?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: Restore is uniquely positioned as the largest studio network with IV therapy to offer the patented Niagen NR product. Clients may be able to find other NAD+ products on the market; however, we are one of very few studios to offer this superior nutrient.
Joseph DeAcetis: Are there any contraindications or individuals for whom this treatment would not be recommended?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: While Niagen IV drips are generally considered safe for healthy adults, there are a few situations where this treatment might not be recommended. Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with active cancer, or people with severe chronic illnesses (such as advanced kidney or liver disease) should consult their physician before receiving Niagen IVs.
Joseph DeAcetis: Looking ahead, how do you see NAD+ treatments evolving within the broader landscape of integrative wellness?
Dr. Rachele Pojednic: I believe we will see NAD+ treatments—especially those using nicotinamide riboside (Niagen NR)—becoming a foundational element of wellness programs, from anti-aging and skin health to athletic recovery and mental resilience. While early results are promising, the science is still emerging, and I’m excited that my team at RestoreLabs is actively contributing to the literature to better understand how NAD+ and NR support long-term vitality and healthy aging.
