Iron Infusions, Step by Step

Iron infusions start with labs and a provider evaluation, then move quickly. Your first visit runs about 1.5 to 2 hours and later visits about 45 minutes.

Step 1
Instant

Request a Consult

Call, text or use the online form. A 5 minute consult with no commitment, confirmed within 15 minutes.

Step 2
Within 24 hours

Labs

Recent labs (CBC, ferritin, serum iron and TIBC from the last two weeks) are all we need. Otherwise, a $35 iron panel at any Labcorp usually results within 24 hours.

Step 3
Same day as labs

Telehealth Evaluation

A licensed provider reviews your labs, history and symptoms, screens for conditions that rule out IV iron, and builds your plan (200 mg or 500 mg dosing).

Step 4
Same day if appropriate

Schedule Your Infusion

Because labs are reviewed the same day, first infusions can often be scheduled right away, at home or in clinic.

Step 5
About 1 hour

Your First Infusion

A licensed clinician places the IV and monitors you throughout. First infusions take about 1 hour; later 200 mg infusions take about 15 minutes.

Step 6
15 to 30 minutes

Observation

Afterward, rest while your clinician observes you. Many patients also add a vitamin infusion during this time.

Step 7
4 to 6 weeks later

Follow-Up Labs

Finally, your provider rechecks hemoglobin and ferritin and advises whether more infusions are needed.

How IV Therapy Works With NAD+

NAD+ is available as a quick injection, an IV infusion, or an at-home program shipped to you. Your provider helps you choose the right option.

Step 1
Instant

Book or Request a Consult

Call, text or book online. Confirmation within 15 minutes.

Step 2
Within 20 minutes

Telehealth Evaluation

A licensed provider reviews your history and goals and helps you choose between an NAD+ injection, an NAD+ infusion, or an at-home NAD+ program shipped to you.

Step 3
At your appointment

Comfortable Setup

At your appointment, your registered nurse or paramedic places the IV at home or in clinic. NAD+ runs at a slower drip rate than a standard IV.

Step 4
During the infusion

Your Infusion

During the drip, your clinician sets the pace and monitors you throughout, adjusting for your comfort. Plan on a longer visit than a standard IV, and your provider will tell you how long.

Step 5
Before you leave

Finish and Checkout

Finally, you check out securely. Your provider then recommends a cadence for follow-up sessions.

Varies by option
Your provider will tell you how long to plan for your infusion
