The IV Doc
Editorial
$799/session
Publishes $799 per session for a stated 250 mg, allowing the dose and session price to be compared before booking.
Pick it for: Someone who wants a supervised in-home infusion and is not buying on cost
System Labs
Partner
$149/mo
States milligram quantities and prices for its reviewed NAD⁺ injection and nasal spray, with an FDA disclaimer on the page.
Pick it for: Someone comparing the stated quantity and cost of a mail-order injection
Our verdict
The IV Doc charges $799 for a stated 250 mg. System Labs charges $149 for a stated 1000 mg. That is roughly $3.20 a milligram against roughly 15 cents — a spread of about twenty-one times, from two sellers' own published figures. We have not identified controlled trials establishing wellness benefits for either seller’s product. Small hospital studies of intravenous NAD⁺ do not establish benefits for these commercial services. What the premium buys is a clinician in your home and intravenous delivery, which is a real service; it is not evidence of a better result. If you want the drip, book it knowing that.
What actually separates them
The IV Doc and System Labs state different things about published price. Everything else they publish, they publish the same way.

Where they differ on what they tell you
Price is the easy comparison and often the least useful one. These are the places where one of these two answers a question the other leaves open.
- The advertised price
- The IV Doc advertises the rate it goes on charging, while system Labs leads with first month only — $89 against $149.
- Routes offered
- The IV Doc also sells an IV infusion, while System Labs also sells a subcutaneous injection and a nasal spray — which matters if you change your mind about the format later.
What neither of them tells you
A comparison that only reports differences implies everything else is settled. Here it is not.
- Both sell a compounded drug and neither names the pharmacy that compounds it.
- Neither states whether any bloodwork is included, or what it would cost.
- Neither publishes which states it can ship to.
- Neither displays a LegitScript certification.
Before you choose either
Unusually, both sellers publish a milligram dose, so their prices can be compared directly rather than taken on trust. Run both through our cost-per-milligram calculator before you decide — a lower monthly price at a smaller dose is not the cheaper option, and in this category the gap between sticker price and cost per milligram is where the money actually is.
Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
