Zen Cocktail: NAD+ IV Therapy in NYC
Our premium recovery and performance drip, delivered to your door across NYC. Featuring NAD+, amino acids, and B vitamins to support cellular energy, faster recovery, and athletic performance.
Premium IV Drips Tailored to Your Wellness Goals
Our Most Powerful Drip, Built for Recovery and Performance
The Zen Cocktail is our most popular premium IV. It combines NAD+, amino acids, B vitamins, and magnesium in one drip designed to help you recover faster, perform better, and feel sharper.
Our clients who book the Zen Cocktail are often athletes recovering from training, professionals dealing with burnout, or wellness-focused New Yorkers who want a deeper level of recovery than a basic vitamin drip can offer.
At $399, it is one of the more advanced drips on our menu, and the results show. Many clients report better energy, sharper focus, and faster recovery from physical activity within hours.
What Is NAD+ and Why Does It Matter?
NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme that exists in every cell of your body. Its main job is to help your cells produce energy by supporting the conversion of food into ATP, which is the basic fuel that powers everything from muscle contractions to brain activity. Without NAD+, your cells cannot produce the fuel they need to do their work.
NAD+ also plays a major role in DNA repair, cellular signaling, and gene expression. Research over the past two decades has linked NAD+ to a wide range of cellular processes that influence aging, metabolism, and cognitive function. It is one of the most important molecules in your body, and one that has gained significant attention in the longevity and wellness space.
How NAD+ Works in Your Cells
Inside every one of your cells are tiny structures called mitochondria. These are often called the powerhouses of the cell because they produce most of your body's energy. Mitochondria use NAD+ as a critical part of the energy production process. When NAD+ levels are healthy, your mitochondria run efficiently. When NAD+ drops, energy production slows down, and you can feel it as fatigue, brain fog, and slower recovery.
NAD+ is also used by a family of proteins called sirtuins, which play a role in cellular health and aging. Sirtuins help repair damaged DNA, regulate inflammation, and support healthy cellular function. They cannot do their work without enough NAD+ around. As NAD+ levels drop with age, sirtuins become less active, and the cellular damage that comes with aging accelerates.
The NAD+ Salvage Pathway
Your body recycles NAD+ through a process called the salvage pathway. After NAD+ is used in cellular reactions, it gets broken down into smaller pieces, which are then reassembled back into NAD+. This recycling system is what keeps your NAD+ levels relatively stable when everything is working well.
The challenge is that the efficiency of the salvage pathway drops with age, stress, poor sleep, alcohol use, and intense physical activity. When the salvage pathway cannot keep up, your NAD+ levels drop. This is one of the main reasons people in their 40s, 50s, and beyond report feeling slower to recover, foggier, and lower energy than they used to.
Why NAD+ Levels Drop
NAD+ levels naturally decline as you age. By the time most people reach their 40s, NAD+ levels are about half of what they were in their 20s. By 60, levels are often even lower. This decline has been linked in research to a range of age-related changes, from reduced energy production to slower cellular repair.
Several factors accelerate the drop:
- Aging is the main driver, and the decline starts in your 30s for most people
- Chronic stress increases NAD+ consumption faster than your body can replace it
- Poor sleep impairs the salvage pathway and reduces overall cellular health
- Alcohol use depletes NAD+ as your liver works to break down ethanol
- Intense physical activity uses NAD+ rapidly during recovery
- Inflammation from injury, illness, or chronic conditions raises NAD+ demand
- Diet patterns low in NAD+ precursors reduce the raw materials your body needs
What Is in the Zen Cocktail?
The Zen Cocktail is a $399 drip that combines NAD+ with several other supportive ingredients. Here is exactly what is in it, and what each ingredient does.
Premium IV Drips Tailored to Your Wellness Goals
Normal Saline or Lactated Ringers (1 Liter)
The base of the drip. One liter of sterile fluid hydrates you fast and gives the other ingredients a smooth way to enter your bloodstream.
NAD+
The star of the drip. NAD+ is delivered through an IV at a dose carefully chosen for tolerability and effectiveness. Because NAD+ can cause flushing or chest tightness if given too fast, your nurse runs it slowly and adjusts based on how you feel.
Magnesium
Magnesium supports muscle relaxation, nerve function, and energy production. It also helps reduce the intensity of any flushing sensation from the NAD+. Many clients report feeling calm and relaxed during the drip, and the magnesium is part of why.
B Complex
A blend of essential B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6) that work together with NAD+ to support energy production. B Complex is one of the main reasons you may feel a noticeable energy lift during the drip.
B12
Critical for energy and brain function. B12 supports the production of red blood cells and the maintenance of healthy nerve cells. The high dose in our Zen Cocktail goes well beyond what you can get from oral supplements.
Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They support muscle repair, immune function, and the production of neurotransmitters that affect mood and focus. Adding amino acids to a recovery drip is part of what makes the Zen Cocktail effective for athletes and active clients.

Common Reasons NYC Clients Book the Zen Cocktail
Athletic recovery. If you are training for the NYC Marathon, doing CrossFit at gyms across Manhattan and Brooklyn, cycling along the Hudson River Greenway, or training for a triathlon, your body needs more than basic hydration to recover.
The Zen Cocktail supports faster muscle recovery and reduced fatigue.
Burnout and exhaustion. Long hours, high stress, and poor sleep are part of life in NYC. Many of our clients in Midtown, the Financial District, and the Upper East Side book the Zen Cocktail when they hit a wall and need to reset.
Anti-aging and healthy aging support. NAD+ levels naturally drop with age. Many of our wellness-focused clients book the Zen Cocktail as part of their healthy aging routine, often paired with other lifestyle practices like strength training, sleep optimization, and a clean diet.
Mental clarity. B vitamins, NAD+, and amino acids all play a role in brain function. Clients dealing with brain fog often report sharper thinking after this drip.
Recovery from heavy travel. International business travelers who deal with frequent jet lag often book the Zen Cocktail to bounce back faster after long flights.
Pre-event support. Some clients book this drip before a big presentation, performance, or event to feel sharper and more focused.
Ongoing wellness routines. Clients who treat IV therapy as part of their regular wellness practice often rotate the Zen Cocktail in every 2 to 4 weeks for cellular-level support.

Real-World Examples of Who Books the Zen Cocktail
The marathon runner in training:
A 35-year-old runner training for the NYC Marathon books the Zen Cocktail every two weeks during her 18-week training cycle. She schedules each drip on a recovery day, the day after a long run. The amino acids support muscle repair, and the NAD+ helps her bounce back faster. By race week, she is doing one final drip three days before the marathon to top up her energy and recovery.
The Midtown executive dealing with burnout:
A 48-year-old executive based in Midtown books his first Zen Cocktail after a stretch of 70-hour work weeks during a major company project. He notices a clear lift in energy and mental clarity within hours of the drip. He starts booking one every three weeks and uses the time during the drip to rest, read, or take a phone call. After three months, he reports feeling like a different person and credits the combination of better sleep, regular drips, and reduced stress.
The Brooklyn wellness enthusiast on a longevity routine:
A 52-year-old creative director living in Park Slope has been working on a longevity-focused wellness routine for two years. She lifts weights, sleeps eight hours, eats a clean diet, and does meditation daily. She adds a monthly Zen Cocktail as part of her healthy aging strategy. She tracks her energy, recovery, and sleep quality and consistently rates the days after a drip as her best.

Why NYC Clients Choose Mobile NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ IV therapy is offered at most major NYC IV providers. What sets mobile delivery apart is convenience and comfort. NAD+ drips run longer than other IVs because the rate has to stay slow to avoid the flushing or chest tightness that can come with fast infusions.
That means a clinic visit for NAD+ can be 90 minutes or more, plus travel time. Doing it at home means you can lie on your couch, watch a show, work on your laptop, or even nap during the drip. Many clients tell us this is the only way they would do NAD+ therapy because of how much more comfortable it is at home.
Here is what you get with Zen IV Spa:
- $399 flat pricing for the Zen Cocktail (NAD+ included)
- Mobile delivery to your home, hotel, or office across the 5 boroughs
- Service into Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Westchester County
- Same-day appointments when available
- Licensed registered nurses (not paramedics or medical technicians)
- Real medical provider call before every treatment
- Available 8 AM to 8 PM, 7 days a week
Premium IV Drips Tailored to Your Wellness Goals
How Often Should You Get a Zen Cocktail?
There is no one-size-fits-all schedule. Many of our clients book the Zen Cocktail every 2 to 4 weeks. Athletes in heavy training cycles may book it weekly. Wellness-focused clients often start with a series of drips spaced a few days apart to build up their NAD+ levels, then drop to a maintenance schedule.
Our medical provider can help you figure out the right cadence based on your goals. We also offer membership pricing for clients who book regularly.

Is NAD+ IV Therapy Safe?
NAD+ IV therapy has been used in wellness clinics for over a decade. It has a strong safety record when administered by a licensed medical professional. At Zen IV Spa, every drip is reviewed by a medical provider before treatment and given by a licensed registered nurse using sterile, single-use equipment.
Some people may feel mild flushing, chest tightness, or nausea during the drip if it runs too fast. Your nurse will start slowly and adjust as needed to keep you comfortable. These sensations are temporary and stop when the drip rate is slowed.
Research on NAD+ IV therapy is still developing. While there are promising studies on NAD+ and cellular health, NAD+ IV therapy is not approved as a treatment for any medical condition. We provide it as a wellness service to support cellular energy and recovery. It should not be used as a replacement for medical care.

Who Should Not Book a Zen Cocktail
NAD+ IV therapy is not right for everyone. Our medical provider screens every client during intake and may recommend against treatment if any of the following apply to you:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding (NAD+ is not recommended during pregnancy or while nursing)
- Active or untreated kidney or liver disease
- Active heart disease, irregular heartbeat, or recent cardiac event
- Active cancer treatment (NAD+ should be cleared with your oncologist first)
- Allergies to any of the ingredients in the drip
- Active psychiatric crisis or severe acute medical illness
- Children under 18 years old
If our medical provider has any concerns during the intake call, they will let you know before treatment. We always put safety first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does NAD+ IV therapy feel like?
Most clients feel relaxed during the drip, with a wave of mental clarity by the end. Some feel mild flushing in their chest or face when the NAD+ runs too fast, which goes away when the drip rate is slowed. Many people feel nothing unusual at all.
How long does the drip take?
Plan for 60 to 90 minutes of drip time, with the full appointment running about 90 to 120 minutes including setup. NAD+ runs slower than other IV drips to keep you comfortable.
How much does the Zen Cocktail cost?
Our Zen Cocktail is $399. We offer membership pricing for clients who book regularly. There are no hidden fees in our standard service area.
How often should I book the Zen Cocktail?
Most clients book one every 2 to 4 weeks. Athletes in heavy training cycles may book weekly. Our medical provider can help you figure out the right schedule for your goals.
Will I feel different right after the drip?
Many clients report sharper thinking and better energy by the end of the drip or within a few hours. Others notice the effects more the next day.
Can I work out the same day as a Zen Cocktail?
Yes, in most cases. Many of our athletic clients book this drip after a hard training day, not before. Light activity is fine the day of, but check with your medical provider if you are training for a specific event.
Is this drip the same as pure NAD+?
No. Pure NAD+ drips contain only NAD+ and saline. The Zen Cocktail combines NAD+ with B vitamins, amino acids, and magnesium for a broader range of recovery and performance benefits. If you are looking for pure NAD+, ask us about other options on our menu.
Does NAD+ IV therapy reverse aging?
NAD+ IV therapy is not a treatment for aging. Research on NAD+ and longevity is ongoing, and while results have been promising, NAD+ should be considered a wellness support, not an anti-aging treatment. The drip can support cellular energy and recovery, which many clients say makes them feel more energized and clear-headed. Beyond that, no IV drip can claim to slow or reverse aging.
Can I get NAD+ IV therapy if I have heart issues?
Not without clearance from your cardiologist. NAD+ can affect blood pressure and heart rate during the drip, and we screen carefully for any heart conditions during intake. If you have a known heart issue, please discuss with your doctor before booking.
Is NAD+ IV therapy FDA approved?
NAD+ IV therapy is not FDA approved as a treatment for any medical condition. It is offered as a wellness service to support cellular energy, recovery, and overall wellness.
What is the difference between NAD+ IV and NAD+ supplements?
Oral NAD+ supplements (often sold as NMN or NR) work through your digestive system and are converted into NAD+ in your liver and cells. The absorption rate is variable and lower than IV. NAD+ IV delivers NAD+ directly into your bloodstream for higher and more reliable concentrations.
How quickly do I notice results?
Many clients feel mental clarity and energy during or right after the drip. Some report feeling more alert and focused for several days afterward. Athletic clients often report faster recovery within 24 to 48 hours of training sessions.
Can I get a Zen Cocktail at a hotel?
Yes. We work with hotel guests across NYC. We have served clients at hotels in Midtown, SoHo, Tribeca, the Financial District, and beyond.
Are the nurses actual registered nurses?
Yes. Every Zen IV Spa nurse is a licensed registered nurse (RN). All treatments are also overseen by a licensed nurse practitioner or medical provider.
Can I customize the Zen Cocktail?
In some cases, yes. Our medical provider can adjust the drip based on your goals and medical history. Talk to us during your intake call if you have a specific request.
Do you offer NAD+ injections?
Contact us to discuss our current menu of injections and IV options. We can help you figure out what makes the most sense for your goals.
How does NAD+ IV compare to other longevity treatments?
NAD+ IV is one of several wellness practices that some people use as part of a healthy aging routine. Others include strength training, sleep optimization, time-restricted eating, and cold exposure. NAD+ IV supports cellular energy specifically and can be a useful addition to a broader wellness practice.
