Where can I get NAD+ IV therapy on Vancouver Island?

Juvenescence Wellness in Lake Cowichan, BC offers NAD+ IV therapy personally administered by Stephanie Eschak, Nurse Practitioner — never delegated to nursing staff. Patients drive in from Duncan (25 minutes), Nanaimo (1 hour), Victoria (1 hour 15 minutes), Ladysmith, Powell River, and across the Cowichan Valley for the NAD+ infusion program.

NAD+ IV is administered under Nurse Practitioner oversight by Stephanie Eschak, NP — whose clinical background spans emergency medicine, intensive care, and primary care. The NP scope of practice in British Columbia permits independent assessment, prescription, and supervision of intravenous therapies, including NAD+, IV nutrient infusions, iron IV, and Glutathione.

The molecule, simply.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every cell of the human body. It powers mitochondrial energy production, drives DNA repair pathways, and activates sirtuins — the proteins central to longevity research.

NAD+ levels decline with age, accelerated by chronic stress, poor sleep, and inflammation. By the time most people notice it — energy that won't return, slower recovery, cognitive fog — levels are already meaningfully lower than they were a decade ago.

Intravenous administration delivers NAD+ directly to the bloodstream, bypassing the absorption limitations of oral supplementation. Oral NAD+ and its precursors lose most of their dose to digestion and first-pass liver metabolism before any reaches the cells that need it. IV closes that gap.

The Juvenescence distinction. Every NAD+ IV infusion here is personally administered by Stephanie Eschak, Nurse Practitioner — not handed off to nursing staff, which is how many IV clinics operate. The NP scope of practice in British Columbia permits prescription, diagnosis, and supervision of IV therapy — meaning your treatment is medically planned and monitored throughout, start to finish, by the same clinician who assessed you.

The visit, step by step.

Every new patient relationship begins with clinical intake. Health history, current medications, goals, and any relevant labs are reviewed to determine whether IV NAD+ is appropriate and at what dose.

The infusion itself takes 60 to 120 minutes depending on dose and individual tolerance. NAD+ is administered slowly — rate is the variable that determines comfort. You can read, rest, or work on a laptop. The clinical team monitors throughout.

A follow-up plan is established based on response and goals: single infusions for targeted recovery, loading protocols of three to six sessions over a short window, or ongoing maintenance through the IV Wellness Membership.

Where it fits.

Patients typically pursue NAD+ IV therapy for:

  • Cellular energy and recovery support, especially in burnout or post-illness recovery.
  • Cognitive clarity and focus when oral nootropics or supplements haven't moved the needle.
  • Athletic recovery and post-procedure healing where cellular repair is the bottleneck.
  • Longevity-oriented protocols, often paired with hormone optimization or GLP-1 programs.
  • Patients whose oral supplement stack has plateaued and want a delivery method that reaches the cell.

NAD+ IV is not a treatment for a specific condition — it is a foundational support for cellular function. Suitability is established at intake.

Where can I get NAD+ IV therapy on Vancouver Island?
Juvenescence Wellness in Lake Cowichan, BC offers NAD+ IV therapy personally administered by Stephanie Eschak, Nurse Practitioner — never delegated to nursing staff. The clinic serves patients from across the island — Cowichan Valley, Duncan, Nanaimo, Victoria, Ladysmith, and Powell River. Appointments can be booked online or by phone at 250-932-6171.
What is NAD+ IV therapy and what does it do?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, essential for mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, and sirtuin-mediated cellular health. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age. Intravenous administration delivers NAD+ directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the absorption limitations of oral supplements.
Is NAD+ IV therapy supervised by a doctor?
At Juvenescence Wellness, NAD+ IV therapy is personally administered by Stephanie Eschak, Nurse Practitioner (NP) — never delegated to nursing staff. The Nurse Practitioner scope of practice in British Columbia permits prescription, diagnosis, and supervision of intravenous therapies, including NAD+ infusions.
How long does a NAD+ IV infusion take?
Infusion duration typically ranges from 60 to 120 minutes depending on dose and individual tolerance. Patients can read, rest, or use a laptop during the infusion. The clinical team monitors throughout for comfort and safety.
How does NAD+ IV compare to oral NAD+ supplements?
Oral NAD+ and its precursors (NMN, NR) must pass through digestion and the liver, where much of the dose is metabolized before reaching cells. Intravenous NAD+ bypasses gut absorption entirely, delivering the coenzyme directly to circulation. For patients whose oral stack has plateaued, IV is the next step.
How often should I receive NAD+ IV therapy?
Frequency depends on clinical goals. Some patients pursue loading protocols (a series of infusions over a short window), followed by maintenance every four to twelve weeks. Others integrate NAD+ into a broader longevity, hormone, or weight management plan. Frequency is established with Stephanie at intake based on individual goals and response.
Are there side effects to NAD+ IV therapy?
NAD+ IV is generally well tolerated. During infusion, some patients experience mild chest tightness, flushing, or nausea — these resolve by slowing the infusion rate. Mild fatigue or muscle soreness can occur in the hours after treatment. Serious adverse effects are uncommon when administered under proper clinical supervision. All patients are screened at intake for contraindications.
Is NAD+ IV therapy covered by BC MSP or extended health insurance?
NAD+ IV therapy is not covered by BC Medical Services Plan (MSP). Coverage by extended health benefits varies by plan; some plans may reimburse a portion of the visit fee when the treatment is administered by a Nurse Practitioner. Patients should check directly with their benefits provider. Receipts are issued for submission.
