If you've been reading about NAD+ — the coenzyme involved in cellular energy production that has become a focus of longevity research — you're not alone. Interest in NAD+ among health-conscious adults has grown significantly, fueled by a wave of preclinical studies, early human trials, and a broader cultural conversation about healthspan. But interest is only the beginning. Before any compounded NAD+ preparation is ever considered for you, a qualified provider needs to evaluate whether it's appropriate for your specific health profile.
This guide is designed for patients in Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin, and the surrounding communities who are thinking about scheduling a first consultation at VidaVital Medical. Rather than a generic overview of what NAD+ is, this article focuses on the consultation itself: what to bring, what to expect, how to ask useful questions, and how to think realistically about the evaluation process. Being prepared makes for a more productive visit — and a better outcome, whatever that turns out to be.
Why Preparation Matters More Than You Think
A first consultation for any compounded preparation, including NAD+, is not a rubber stamp. Providers at VidaVital Medical are licensed clinicians whose job is to evaluate your individual health picture — not simply to fulfill a request. The more complete and organized the information you bring, the more useful and efficient that conversation will be.
What Health History to Bring to Your Appointment
Think of your intake visit as a structured clinical interview paired with a health review. Come prepared to discuss the following:
- Current medications and supplements: A written list — including doses and frequency — helps your provider identify potential interactions or contraindications. Don't omit over-the-counter items or supplements you take inconsistently.
- Chronic conditions and past diagnoses: Be thorough. Certain conditions — including active malignancy — represent contraindications that a provider must know about. Pregnancy is also a contraindication for NAD+ in compounded form.
- Recent lab work: If you've had bloodwork done in the past 12 months, bring copies or be ready to share results. Your provider will determine what baseline labs, if any, are appropriate before considering NAD+.
- Your primary symptoms or goals: Write these down before your visit. Are you concerned about energy levels, cognitive performance, recovery, or something else? Specific, honest answers are more useful than vague descriptions.
- Family history: Relevant family history — particularly for metabolic, cardiovascular, or oncologic conditions — can inform your provider's clinical thinking.
What a Typical Intake Visit Covers
At VidaVital Medical, consultations are available both in-clinic at the Las Vegas office and via Nevada-licensed telehealth where clinically appropriate. A first visit typically involves a detailed health history review, a discussion of your goals, and a clinical assessment of whether NAD+ is a reasonable candidate for your situation. Your provider will explain the current evidence base honestly — including what is well-supported, what is still investigational, and what remains uncertain. You will not be pressured toward any specific protocol.
If your provider determines that baseline labs are warranted, they will specify which categories are relevant for you. Lab requirements are individualized — there is no universal panel. The visit may also include a conversation about administration routes: NAD+ is available as an injectable or infusion preparation, and the method matters clinically, not just logistically.
Realistic Expectations: What the Evaluation Process Is and Isn't
It's worth being direct about this: a consultation is an evaluation, not a prescription guarantee. Some patients will complete their intake visit and be determined to be good candidates for NAD+. Others may need additional workup first. Others may have contraindications that make it inappropriate. A provider who tells you honestly that this isn't right for you at this time is doing their job well. Come in prepared to have a real conversation rather than to confirm a decision you've already made.
I live in Henderson and I'm thinking about NAD+ infusions. Can I do the whole process — consultation and treatment — without coming into the Las Vegas clinic?
That depends on your individual clinical situation. VidaVital Medical offers Nevada-licensed telehealth consultations where clinically appropriate, which means some patients in Henderson, Summerlin, and other nearby communities may be able to complete their initial evaluation remotely. However, NAD+ is administered as an injectable or infusion preparation, which typically involves in-clinic visits for the administration itself. Your provider will clarify what can be handled via telehealth versus what requires an in-person appointment at the Las Vegas clinic on S Rainbow Blvd — a few minutes from I-215 and US-95 with free on-site parking. The best first step is to call (702) 602-8629 and ask which parts of the process can be done remotely for someone in your area.
Who Should Discuss NAD+ With a Provider?
- Adults who have noticed persistent fatigue or reduced energy that hasn't been fully explained by other workup, and who want to explore whether cellular energy support options are appropriate for their profile.
- Individuals with a personal or professional interest in longevity medicine who want an evidence-grounded conversation — not marketing — about what NAD+ research currently supports and where gaps remain.
- Patients who are already working with a provider on a wellness or optimization protocol and want to evaluate whether NAD+ might complement that approach.
- Anyone who has read extensively about NAD+ online and wants to separate credible science from overclaiming, in conversation with a licensed clinician who can apply that science to their specific case.
- People who are not pregnant and do not have an active malignancy without oncology clearance — both represent contraindications that must be discussed before any consideration of NAD+ is appropriate.
Preparing for Your NAD+ Consultation at VidaVital Medical
- Write a complete list of all current medications, supplements, and their doses — include anything you take even occasionally.
- Gather any recent lab results (within the past 12 months) and bring copies or upload them if your provider's portal allows it.
- Write down your top two or three specific health concerns or goals in plain language before your appointment, so you don't lose track in the moment.
- Note any chronic conditions, past surgeries, or significant diagnoses — especially any history of cancer, autoimmune conditions, or cardiovascular disease.
- Be ready to honestly answer questions about alcohol use, sleep quality, stress levels, and physical activity, as these all inform your clinical picture.
- Prepare two or three specific questions for your provider (see the FAQs below for examples of questions worth asking).
- If attending in-clinic, confirm your appointment at 6590 S Rainbow Blvd, Ste 250, Las Vegas, NV 89118. Free parking is available on-site. Call (702) 602-8629 with any logistics questions.
- Go in with an open mind: the consultation is an evaluation, and the most useful outcome is an honest clinical recommendation — whatever that turns out to be.

What questions should I actually ask my provider at a NAD+ consultation?
A few high-value questions: What does the current evidence support for my specific goals, and what's still investigational? What baseline labs do you recommend for my situation before we consider this? What side effects should I realistically expect, and what would prompt you to stop or adjust a protocol? How will we know if this is working? These questions signal that you're an engaged patient and help your provider give you more precise, useful answers.
Is NAD+ FDA-approved?
No. NAD+ does not have an FDA-approved indication. When discussed in a clinical longevity or wellness context, it is available as a compounded preparation. Your provider will explain what that means for your situation, including what is and isn't known about its safety and efficacy in the evidence base.
What are the main risks I should know about before my consultation?
Common side effects associated with compounded NAD+ preparations include injection-site reactions and mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Rare allergic reactions have been reported. NAD+ is contraindicated in pregnancy and in individuals with active malignancy without oncology clearance. Your provider will review your full health history to assess whether any risks are relevant to your specific situation.
Will I definitely be prescribed NAD+ after my consultation?
Not necessarily — and that's by design. The consultation is a clinical evaluation, not a transaction. Your provider will assess your health profile, review any relevant labs, and make an individualized recommendation. Some patients will be good candidates; others may need additional workup or may have contraindications. A thorough, honest evaluation is the point.
How is NAD+ administered, and does that affect what my first visit looks like?
Compounded NAD+ preparations are administered by injectable or infusion routes. Your provider will discuss which administration method is appropriate for your situation. Because these are not oral supplements, the administration itself typically requires clinical involvement, which may affect your visit schedule beyond the initial consultation.
I've seen a lot of bold claims about NAD+ online. How do I know what's real?
The evidence for NAD+ sits at a moderate level — there is some human clinical evidence, particularly in areas related to cellular energy and aging biology, but more research is needed and many claims in popular media outrun the science. A qualified provider can help you distinguish what the current literature actually supports from what is preclinical, theoretical, or simply overclaimed. That honest calibration is one of the most valuable things a first consultation can provide.
