NAD+ IV Therapy near Chattanooga.
A physician-supervised loading protocol — five 750mg infusions over two weeks — followed by subcutaneous maintenance. Built for Tennessee Valley patients who want longevity medicine without the trip to Atlanta.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the coenzyme that powers mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation — the cellular pathways that determine how well you age. NAD+ levels fall substantially with age — measured directly in human skin (Massudi et al., 2012) and in the living human brain (Zhu et al., 2015). The downstream effects are mitochondrial dysfunction, slower recovery, blunted cognition, and accelerated senescence.
NAD+ IV therapy is the most direct way to restore intracellular levels. Oral precursors (NMN, NR) work — slowly. Subcutaneous injection works — moderately. IV NAD+ saturates tissue NAD+ stores within hours, which is why Dr. Hare uses it as the loading phase of every longevity protocol at Limitless.
Dr. Hare's signature loading protocol.
Five infusions over two weeks, each at 750 mg, delivered slowly over 2–3 hours under physician supervision. After loading, most patients transition to once- or twice-weekly subcutaneous maintenance dosing at 100–200 mg, which can be self-administered at home with portal-based titration.

Why "near Chattanooga" actually works
Limitless is at 1502 Dug Gap Road in Dalton, Georgia — a 25-minute drive from downtown Chattanooga via I-75. For the loading phase you'll come in five times across two weeks; many Chattanooga patients schedule afternoon infusions to anchor a working-from-home day. After loading, maintenance is delivered at home via SubQ injection — no more drives unless you want one.
NAD+ done physician-supervised.
- Slow drip is non-negotiable. Push too fast and patients experience chest pressure, nausea, and "fight-or-flight" sensations. The 2–3 hour drip rate eliminates 95% of these effects. Drip-bar clinics chasing volume cut corners here. We do not.
- Pre-screening labs. Comprehensive metabolic panel, hematocrit, and a baseline blood pressure before infusion #1. Anyone with significant hepatic or renal compromise gets a modified protocol or a hard "no."
- Onsite physician. Dr. Hare or a delegated physician is on the premises during every IV — not a phone call away. This is the standard regenerative medicine deserves.
- Compounded from licensed pharmacies only. Every NAD+ vial is sourced from a 503A or 503B pharmacy with current state board accreditation and USP <797> sterility documentation.

In Georgia, an IV is the practice of medicine.
On May 7, 2026, the Georgia Composite Medical Board issued a position statement on IV hydration and IV therapy. It is not a guideline. It sets out what the Board considers lawful practice in this state — and in August 2026 the Board began unannounced site inspections of med spas, IV clinics, and wellness practices to enforce it.
Most patients have never read it. You should know what it says, because it is the clearest available test of whether the clinic putting a line in your arm is operating legally.
| What the Board requires | How Limitless meets it |
|---|---|
| An individualized order for every infusion. Generic standing orders are prohibited. | Every NAD+ order is written and signed by Joshua Hare, DO, for you specifically — with indication and dosing rationale in your chart. Not a standing order. Not a template a staff member fills in. |
| A completed history & physical by a prescriber before anything is mixed or administered. | Dr. Hare performs your H&P and reviews pre-screening labs himself before infusion #1 is compounded. |
| A nurse cannot be the only clinician who interacts with the patient. | A physician is on the premises for every infusion — not reachable by phone, present in the building. |
| A physician may not be compensated by the APRN they delegate to. The Board reads this broadly and names third-party medical-director matching services. | Limitless is physician-owned and physician-operated. There is no rented medical director, no matching service, and no APRN-funded oversight arrangement to disclose. |
| The supervising physician's identity must be posted where the public has unrestricted access. | Joshua Hare, DO — founder, owner, and supervising physician. Georgia medical license. Posted here, in the clinic, and on every protocol we publish. |
| Compliance with Georgia pharmacy law and USP <797> where applicable. | Every NAD+ vial is sourced from a 503A or 503B pharmacy with current state board accreditation and USP <797> sterility documentation. |
| Adverse events must be tracked. Inspectors reportedly found operators failing to track them at all. | Every infusion is logged with the pharmacy, lot, dose, rate, and how you tolerated it. Reactions — including the minor ones — go into a structured register. Serious events are reported to the dispensing pharmacy and filed voluntarily with FDA MedWatch. Because the lot is on every record, if a problem surfaces with a batch we can reach every patient who received it the same day. |
Why we put this on a marketing page
Because the Board evaluates the practical reality of a clinic, not its paperwork — and because the inspections that began this summer found unlicensed staff delivering medical services, unlawful compounding, absent physician oversight, clinics administering treatment with no medical exam at all, and operators tracking no adverse events whatsoever. A clinic that satisfies these requirements should be willing to say so in public. Ask any IV clinic in North Georgia or the Tennessee Valley the seven questions in the left column. You are entitled to the answers before you are on the table.

What it costs at Limitless vs. elsewhere.
Pricing in the regenerative space varies wildly. Below is a transparent comparison so you can place us against the alternatives.
| Provider Type | Loading Cost (5 × IV) | Physician On-Site | Compounded Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drip-bar / med spa | $2,500 – $3,500 | Rarely | Often unclear |
| Concierge Physician (Atlanta) | $4,500 – $6,500 | Yes | 503A/B verified |
| Limitless · à la carte | $2,800 (loading) | Yes — Dr. Hare | 503A/B verified |
NAD+ questions, answered.
- How fast will I feel it?
- In our practice, most patients report mental clarity and improved sleep by infusion #3. Energy and recovery effects compound through the loading phase and consolidate during maintenance.
- Is NAD+ safe for me?
- For most adults, yes — but it is not for everyone. We screen for significant liver disease, renal impairment, active malignancy, and certain cardiac conditions before approving treatment. Pregnancy is an absolute contraindication.
- Will my insurance pay for this?
- No. NAD+ IV is considered investigational by all U.S. payers and is paid out-of-pocket.
- Can I just buy it online?
- Compounded NAD+ for IV use is patient-specific by federal regulation. Anyone selling it directly to consumers without a prescription is operating outside the legal framework — and you have no way to verify sterility, dosage accuracy, or source. The risk is not worth the savings.
