Physician-Led NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ Therapy in Lutz, FL
NAD+ shots at home, not hours in an IV chair. Dr. Espinet personally gives each $30 NAD+ injection at your home or office across Tampa Bay, with no travel fee.
How It Works
The coenzyme behind cellular energy
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every living cell. It helps turn the food you eat into ATP, the energy currency your cells run on, and it works alongside the enzymes involved in routine cellular maintenance. NAD+ levels tend to decline with age, which is a big part of why NAD+ therapy has drawn so much interest in wellness medicine.
At MeliOra, NAD+ therapy is a quick NAD+ injection at your home or office, not an IV infusion that can last two to four hours. MeliOra offers NAD+ as a shot only and does not offer IV drips. Dr. Espinet reviews your health history and goals first, then gives every shot herself.
Who It Is For
When patients consider NAD+
Energy goals
Many patients ask about NAD+ when busy weeks leave them wanting nutrient support. NAD+ is central to how cells make energy, but research on injections in healthy people is still limited, so results vary.
Healthy-aging interest
NAD+ levels tend to decline with age, which is why NAD+ comes up so often in conversations about healthy aging. Dr. Espinet keeps expectations realistic.
Already getting B12
If B12 shots are already part of your routine, NAD+ is another option on the same wellness-shot menu. Dr. Espinet can help you decide whether it adds anything for you.
Prefer physician oversight
How often to schedule NAD+ varies by person. Dr. Espinet reviews your health history and suggests a plan rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Concierge Care
NAD+ without the drip lounge
An NAD+ IV drip can mean an afternoon in a clinic chair. As a concierge, physician-led practice, MeliOra keeps NAD+ therapy simple: a quick NAD+ injection at your home, office, or event, given by the same physician who reviews your health history first.
The same menu price at your home, your office, or the Lutz office, with no travel fee anywhere in the service area. Dr. Espinet confirms whether NAD+ is a good fit for you at your visit.

NAD+ Therapy, Explained
What NAD+ therapy actually means
NAD+ therapy is a broad label. It can mean an hours-long IV drip, an injection, or an oral supplement such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) or nicotinamide riboside (NR), which the body converts into NAD+. At MeliOra it means the NAD Boost, a quick NAD+ shot from the wellness-shot menu.
People usually look into NAD+ for a few reasons. These are reasons for interest, not promised results:
- Feeling run down while work, travel, or family life is running at full speed
- Curiosity about recovery around training, races, or long travel days
- Interest in healthy aging and the research on why NAD+ levels fall over time
- Already getting B12 shots and wondering what NAD+ adds
The Evidence
What the research does and does not show
What it does show: NAD+ is essential to how cells make energy and to enzymes that maintain DNA and help regulate metabolism. Levels tend to fall with age in several human and animal tissues, and in lab and animal studies, raising NAD+ shifts a range of metabolic and aging markers.
Human studies are smaller and shorter, and most test oral precursors such as NMN and NR rather than injections. They show blood NAD+ levels can be raised and are generally well tolerated short term, while effects on energy, muscle function, and metabolic health have been mixed.
What it does not show: there are no large, long-term trials of NAD+ injections in healthy people, so there is no proof that NAD+ shots improve energy, slow aging, or change long-term health. Research on injections specifically is still limited. An NAD+ shot is not a remedy for any medical condition, so Dr. Espinet offers it as optional nutrient support with realistic expectations.

Your Visit
What an NAD+ shot feels like
- 01
A short health review
Dr. Espinet asks about your health history, medications, and supplements. If NAD+ is not a good fit for you, she will say so.
- 02
The injection itself
Most people feel a quick pinch. NAD+ can sting going in, and some people notice brief warmth, flushing, or mild nausea that usually passes. Tell Dr. Espinet if anything feels off.
- 03
Right after
Most people go straight back to their day. A little soreness or redness at the injection site can linger for a day or so.
- 04
How often patients schedule
There is no single right schedule. Some patients try one shot first, others plan a short series, which is where 4 shots for $80 fits. Dr. Espinet suggests a rhythm based on your goals. Book online or call or text (813) 726-5808.
Safety First
Who should check with Dr. Espinet first
NAD+ shots are not right for everyone. Bring these up before your first shot.
Pregnant or breastfeeding
There is little safety data on NAD+ during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so waiting is generally the safer choice.
A history of cancer
NAD+ supports cell metabolism and growth, and its role in cancer is still being studied, so a past or current cancer diagnosis needs a careful conversation first.
Kidney or liver disease
Significant kidney or liver disease should be reviewed before any new injection.
Blood thinners or a bleeding disorder
Blood thinners and bleeding disorders can make an injection site bruise more easily, so share your full medication list first.
Ongoing, unexplained fatigue
Persistent tiredness deserves a medical workup with your primary care doctor. An NAD+ shot is not a substitute for finding the cause.
Physician-Led
One physician, every NAD+ shot
Injections are never delegated to a nurse or assistant. Dr. Melanie Espinet, a board-certified physician, gives every shot herself.

NAD+ questions
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It is central to converting nutrients into cellular energy (ATP) and supports the enzymes involved in cellular repair. Levels decline naturally with age.
What are NAD+ injections used for?
Patients most often explore NAD+ therapy for energy, mental clarity, and healthy-aging support. At MeliOra, NAD+ is offered as the NAD Boost, part of a physician-supervised wellness protocol tailored to your goals.
NAD+ injection vs. IV drip — what is the difference?
IV drips infuse NAD+ over two to four hours at a lounge, commonly for $275 to $999 per session. An intramuscular injection takes minutes, absorbs reliably into circulation, and at MeliOra is administered at your home or office under physician supervision.
How often should I get NAD+ injections?
It depends on your goals and health profile. Dr. Espinet recommends a cadence as part of your individualized plan rather than a fixed schedule.
Are NAD+ injections safe?
At MeliOra every injection is administered under the direct supervision of Dr. Espinet, a board-certified physician, using clinical-grade formulations. Your health history is reviewed before any protocol begins.
How much do NAD+ injections cost in Lutz?
MeliOra's wellness-shot menu is 1 shot $30, or 4 shots $80 — a fraction of typical NAD+ IV pricing. Your protocol and final pricing are confirmed during your consultation.
Where can I get NAD+ therapy near me in Tampa Bay?
MeliOra brings NAD+ shots to your home, office, or event across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties, including Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes, New Tampa, Carrollwood, Westchase, Tampa, Brandon, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. Select in-person appointments are also available at the Lutz office. Call or text (813) 726-5808, or book online.
Do NAD+ injections hurt?
Most people feel a quick pinch, and NAD+ can sting a little as it goes in. Some notice brief warmth, flushing, or mild nausea that usually passes. Afterward, a bit of soreness or redness at the injection site can last a day or so. Let Dr. Espinet know how you are feeling during the shot so she can help you stay comfortable.
Does NAD+ therapy really work?
Honestly, the evidence is early. NAD+ is essential for cellular energy, and small studies, mostly of oral precursors like NMN and NR, show NAD+ levels can be raised. There are no large trials of NAD+ injections in healthy people, so there is no proof they improve energy or slow aging, and research on injections specifically is still limited. Many patients choose NAD+ as part of a wellness routine, results vary, and Dr. Espinet will set realistic expectations with you.
Why is an NAD+ shot so much cheaper than an NAD+ IV drip?
Mostly because a drip price covers far more than the NAD+ itself: hours of chair time, IV supplies, staffing, and a larger infused dose, while a shot is generally a smaller dose given in minutes. MeliOra offers NAD+ as a shot only and does not offer IV drips. Published NAD+ drip prices in Tampa Bay range from $275 to $999 per session, while a MeliOra NAD+ shot is $30, or 4 for $80, with no travel fee. They are different experiences, so compare more than the price.
Is an NAD+ shot the same as NMN or NR supplements?
No. NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NR (nicotinamide riboside) are oral precursors your body converts into NAD+. An NAD+ shot gives NAD+ itself by injection. Most published human research so far has studied the oral precursors rather than injections. If you already take NMN, NR, niacin, or similar supplements, tell Dr. Espinet so she can review your full routine.
Can I get an NAD+ shot and a B12 shot at the same visit?
You can ask about pairing NAD+ with Revital B12 or another shot from the wellness menu, which also includes Immune Renew, Revita, Lean Ease Lipo-C, and MD Boost. Each shot is $30. Whether a combination makes sense depends on your health history, medications, and goals, so Dr. Espinet reviews it with you before anything is given.
How soon will I feel the effects of an NAD+ shot?
There is no reliable timeline, and research has not established one. Responses vary from person to person, and some people notice little at all. It is best to think of an NAD+ shot as optional nutrient support rather than something with a predictable effect. If ongoing fatigue is what brought you here, a medical evaluation of the cause should come first.
Is there a travel fee for an in-home NAD+ shot?
No. There is no travel fee anywhere in the service area, which covers Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties. House calls use the published menu price, so an NAD+ shot is $30, or 4 for $80, whether Dr. Espinet comes to your home, your office, or an event.
What is the difference between NAD and NAD+?
NAD is the general name for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which cycles between two forms inside your cells. NAD+ is the oxidized form that picks up electrons during energy production, and NADH is the reduced form that carries them. Shots, drips, and research papers usually refer to NAD+, which is why this page uses the plus sign, even though the menu item itself is called the NAD Boost.
