NAD vs B12 Injection
Sherwood Park
Two powerful wellness injections — one right choice for your goals.
Wondering whether NAD+ or B12 injections are right for you? Nurse Injector Shayse is an award-winning RN offering both NAD+ and B12 injections in a clinical, medical-grade setting serving Sherwood Park and Edmonton. This guide breaks down the science, the differences, and how each injection fits different wellness goals — so you can arrive at your consultation ready to choose with confidence.
NAD+ vs B12 Injections: Key Differences at a Glance
| NAD+ Injection | B12 Injection | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary action | Cellular energy, DNA repair | Red blood cell production, nerve health |
| Speed of results | Gradual (days to weeks) | Often noticed within 24–72 hours |
| Ideal for | Burnout, brain fog, cellular aging | Fatigue, deficiency, metabolic support |
| Frequency | Monthly or as recommended | Every 1–4 weeks depending on goals |
| Session time | 15–30 minutes | Under 15 minutes |
| Can combine? | Yes — pairs well with B12 | Yes — pairs well with NAD+ |
Both injections are administered in a clinical setting by Shayse. A brief consultation confirms which — or which combination — suits your individual needs. Results vary by individual.
What Is a NAD+ Injection?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme naturally produced by the body that plays a key role in mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and cellular energy production. NAD+ levels decline naturally with age, and some individuals explore NAD+ injections as part of a wellness approach to cellular replenishment.
NAD+ injections are administered intramuscularly — a quick injection into muscle tissue that takes 15–30 minutes with no downtime. Most clients tolerate the appointment well and can return to their normal day immediately. Ideal candidates include clients experiencing burnout, cognitive fatigue, post-illness energy depletion, or those focused on longevity and cellular health.
What Is a B12 Injection?
Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin) is an essential vitamin the body cannot produce on its own. Injected B12 bypasses the digestive system for direct absorption, supporting red blood cell production, nerve function, and energy metabolism — making it particularly effective for clients with absorption challenges or known deficiency.
B12 injections are among the fastest appointments offered — typically under 15 minutes with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Ideal candidates include clients with B12 deficiency (common in vegans, vegetarians, and adults 50+), those with low energy, or those seeking metabolic support. Many clients notice an energy lift within 24–72 hours.
Which Wellness Injection Fits Your Goals?
Choose NAD+ if you:
- Experience deep fatigue, brain fog, or burnout that persists despite rest
- Are focused on cellular health, longevity, or metabolic support
- Want to support cognitive performance and sustained energy
- Have noticed energy levels declining with age
Choose B12 if you:
- Have a known or suspected B12 deficiency
- Are vegetarian, vegan, or have reduced B12 absorption
- Want a faster-acting energy boost with straightforward metabolic support
- Are new to wellness injections and want to start with the most established option
Consider both if you:
- Want comprehensive cellular and metabolic support
- Are recovering from illness or prolonged fatigue
- Have tried one injection and want to build on the results
- Want both immediate and long-term energy pathways addressed
Shayse reviews your health history and goals before any wellness injection — every plan is personalized. Results vary by individual.
Can You Get NAD+ and B12 Injections Together?
Yes, NAD+ and B12 can be administered together or in a scheduled rotation. Many clients choose to pair them for both immediate and long-term energy support. They target different pathways — NAD+ works at the cellular level over days to weeks; B12 often provides a more immediate lift within 24–72 hours.
For clients interested in a comprehensive wellness injection plan, Shayse also offers the Triple Defense Injection — a combination protocol designed for broad-spectrum wellness support in a single visit.

NAD+ vs B12 Injections — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between NAD+ and B12 injections?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that supports mitochondrial energy production, DNA repair, and cellular health. B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that supports red blood cell production, nerve function, and energy metabolism. Both are administered by intramuscular injection. NAD+ works at the cellular level and builds over time; B12 often produces a faster, more immediate energy response. Results vary by individual.
Which injection is better for energy — NAD+ or B12?
It depends on the source of your fatigue. B12 injections typically produce a faster response and are well suited for clients with low B12 levels or those wanting quick metabolic support. NAD+ works at a deeper cellular level and is better suited for clients dealing with prolonged burnout, brain fog, or age-related energy decline. A consultation with Shayse helps identify which — or which combination — is most appropriate. Results vary by individual.
Can I get NAD+ and B12 injections at the same time?
Yes. NAD+ and B12 injections are commonly combined. They target different pathways — cellular energy production (NAD+) and metabolic and nerve support (B12) — and work well together. Shayse reviews your health history before any combination is recommended.
How often should I get NAD+ injections in Sherwood Park?
Frequency depends on your individual goals and current NAD+ levels. Many clients start with monthly injections and adjust based on how they respond. Shayse discusses the appropriate schedule at your initial consultation. Results vary by individual.
How often should I get B12 injections in Sherwood Park?
B12 injection frequency varies. Some clients receive injections every 1-2 weeks when first addressing a deficiency; others maintain a monthly schedule for ongoing wellness support. Shayse recommends a schedule suited to your health history and goals.
How much do NAD+ vs B12 injections cost in Sherwood Park?
Pricing is provided at consultation and is based on the treatment plan that fits your goals. Contact Shayse directly or book a consultation to discuss pricing for NAD+, B12, or a combined wellness injection plan.
Who is a good candidate for NAD+ injections?
NAD+ injections are well suited for adults experiencing deep or persistent fatigue, cognitive fog, burnout, or those focused on cellular health and longevity. As NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, many clients in their 30s, 40s, and beyond find value in replenishment. A consultation with Shayse determines whether NAD+ is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Who is a good candidate for B12 injections?
B12 injections are particularly beneficial for clients with confirmed or suspected B12 deficiency, which is common in vegetarians, vegans, older adults, and those taking certain medications (such as metformin). They are also used by clients seeking metabolic energy support. A consultation with Shayse confirms whether B12 injections are appropriate for you.
Do NAD+ or B12 injections help with fatigue?
Both NAD+ and B12 injections are used as part of wellness protocols for fatigue. B12 supports red blood cell production and energy metabolism and may produce a faster response. NAD+ addresses energy at the mitochondrial level and may be more appropriate for chronic or cellular fatigue. Results vary by individual, and a consultation is the most reliable way to determine which approach fits your situation.
Are NAD+ and B12 injections safe?
Both NAD+ and B12 injections are administered by Shayse, an award-winning Registered Nurse, in a clinical, medical-grade setting serving Sherwood Park and Edmonton. A consultation and health history review take place before any injection. As with any injectable, side effects are possible — these are discussed during your consultation. Shayse follows all CRNA standards of practice.
How quickly will I notice results from NAD+ or B12 injections?
B12 injections often produce a noticeable energy effect within 24-72 hours, particularly in clients with low B12 levels. NAD+ injections typically build over days to weeks as cellular NAD+ levels are restored. Results vary by individual based on health history, baseline levels, and other lifestyle factors.
Do you offer NAD+ and B12 injections in Sherwood Park?
Yes. Nurse Injector Shayse offers both NAD+ and B12 injections serving Sherwood Park and Edmonton clients. Appointments are booked through Jane App. Shayse also offers the Triple Defense Injection and Glutathione Injections for clients interested in a broader wellness injection protocol.
How are wellness injections different from IV therapy?
Wellness injections are intramuscular (IM) — a quick, targeted delivery into muscle tissue. IV therapy delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream via intravenous drip and typically takes longer. IM injections are faster and require no IV line or extended appointment time. Shayse offers IM wellness injections. Consultation determines whether the IM route is appropriate for your goals.
Is a consultation required before getting wellness injections?
Yes. Shayse reviews your health history, current medications, and wellness goals before any injection. This ensures the right injection — and the right dose and frequency — for your individual circumstances. Informed consent is obtained before every treatment.
Do you serve clients from Edmonton who want NAD+ or B12 injections?
Yes. Shayse's clinic is accessible from across the greater Edmonton area, including south Edmonton, west Edmonton, and Sherwood Park. Clients from Edmonton regularly book online through Jane App for one-on-one care with a Registered Nurse in a clinical setting.
