Montana summers are short and glorious, and most of us try to pack in as much as possible — long hikes in Glacier, days on Flathead Lake, biking, golfing, yard work, and travel. All of that activity, combined with heat, altitude, and the occasional late night, can leave you dehydrated, drained, and slow to bounce back. At Alpine Health & Wellness in Kalispell, IV nutritional therapy and NAD+ are two of our most popular summer tools for staying hydrated, energized, and recovered.
Several things stack up in the summer months:
IV nutritional therapy delivers fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for near-complete absorption. Compared to drinking water and taking supplements, an IV can rehydrate and replenish you quickly and noticeably.
Patients turn to IV therapy in summer for:
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a central role in energy production and cellular repair, and natural levels decline with age. Supplementing NAD+, often through IV, is one of the most talked-about wellness therapies right now for good reason.
Patients use NAD+ for:
Where IV nutritional therapy is the fast hydration-and-replenish tool, NAD+ is the cellular-energy and longevity tool. Many patients use them together.
Most IV nutritional therapy sessions take about 30 to 60 minutes in a comfortable, relaxed setting. NAD+ infusions are typically given more slowly and can take longer.
It depends on your goals. Some patients come in occasionally for recovery or before travel, while others use a regular schedule for ongoing energy and wellness support. We'll recommend a cadence at your visit.
No. A vitamin drip focuses on hydration, vitamins, and electrolytes. NAD+ is a specific coenzyme aimed at cellular energy and repair. They complement each other and are often combined.
Many patients feel rehydrated and more energized shortly after an IV session. NAD+ benefits like clarity and sustained energy often build over a session or a series.
