NAD+ Therapy & Peptides Boom in 2026 – India’s New Anti-Ageing Trend

2026 is the year NAD+ therapy and peptides went mainstream in India. From luxury clinics in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore to affordable centers in Tier-2 cities, people are lining up for “cellular reset” treatments promising more energy, better skin, muscle recovery, and slower ageing.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that declines with age. IV drips or supplements aim to boost it back up. Peptides (short amino acid chains) are used for skin firmness, fat loss, hair growth, and healing.

Why It’s Trending in India Right Now

• Bollywood & influencer endorsements (several actors openly talk about NAD+ for “youthful glow”)
• Clinic chains expanding rapidly (prices from ₹8,000–₹35,000 per session)
• Post-pandemic focus on immunity & longevity
• Social media reels showing “before-after” skin & energy claims

Doctors say results vary: some feel sharper & more energetic after 4–6 sessions, others see no change. Evidence is promising but still emerging — not FDA-approved for anti-ageing yet.

Common Benefits Claimed

• Increased energy & mental clarity
• Improved skin elasticity & reduced wrinkles
• Faster muscle recovery after workouts
• Better sleep & mood
• Potential immune boost

Peptides like BPC-157 (healing), CJC-1295/Ipamorelin (growth hormone), and GHK-Cu (skin repair) are most popular.

Safety & Cost Reality Check

Most Indian clinics use imported or compounded peptides — quality varies. Side effects can include nausea, flushing, headaches (usually mild & temporary).

Doctors recommend:

• Only go to registered clinics with MD supervision
• Get baseline blood tests (liver/kidney function)
• Avoid if pregnant, breastfeeding or with cancer history

Sessions cost ₹10,000–₹40,000. Monthly packages are common. Many start with 4–6 weekly drips, then maintenance.

Should You Try It?

Experts say NAD+ & peptides are promising for energy & recovery but not a miracle cure. Lifestyle (sleep, diet, exercise) still matters most.
