IV Therapy Guide: NAD+, Glutathione, Methylene Blue, and Recovery Protocols

A direct, jargon-free guide to NAD+, glutathione, methylene blue, and recovery-focused IV protocols — and how to think about which one fits your goals.

Quick answer

IV Therapy delivers fluids and selected ingredients directly into the bloodstream. NAD+, glutathione, methylene blue, and recovery-focused IV protocols are common requests, each used in different ways. Selection and cadence are physician-guided after screening.

What IV therapy is and isn't

IV therapy is a delivery method, not a single product. Ingredients vary by protocol, and selection depends on your goals, intake, and provider review. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or disease-specific treatment.

Common protocols at a glance

Different protocols emphasize different ingredients. Below are categories patients commonly ask about; selection and dosing are personalized after screening.

  • NAD+ — often requested for longevity-focused wellness planning; cadence is provider-led.
  • Glutathione Push — typically used to support antioxidant-focused wellness goals.
  • Methylene Blue IV — a specialized protocol delivered only under direct provider supervision with screening.
  • Recovery IV — multi-ingredient protocols used to support post-event, post-illness, or post-training recovery.

Screening and safety

Every IV starts with intake. Some protocols — particularly methylene blue — require additional screening, including a review of current medications, due to known interactions. Honest intake makes the screening process work.

Frequency that actually makes sense

There is no universal cadence. Some clients use IVs weekly during an active wellness push; others use them monthly as maintenance; many use them as-needed around travel or events. Your provider will recommend a starting cadence and adjust as your plan evolves.
