1. Screening before payment
The single most important safeguard is a medical review that happens before money changes hands, so there is no commercial pressure to approve a session that should be declined. Kidney function, cardiac history, G6PD status, pregnancy, active infection and current medication all change the answer.
2. Sterile technique and sourcing
Single-use cannulas and giving sets, pharmacy-sourced injectables with visible batch and expiry, aseptic preparation, and sharps disposal that leaves with the nurse. Ask any provider to show you their sourcing. A provider who cannot is telling you something.
3. Infusion rate
Most unpleasant experiences with nutrient infusions are rate problems, not ingredient problems. NAD+ in particular needs a slow, adjustable drip with someone watching. This is why 'the drip runs while the nurse leaves' is not an acceptable model.
4. Knowing when to say no
A credible service declines bookings. If you are unwell, dehydrated to the point of instability, newly pregnant, or on a medication that interacts, the right clinical answer is to postpone.
