NAD+

NAD+ is a coenzyme, not a peptide. Human infusion work measures metabolism, while early injection data focus on short-term tolerability.

The role of this therapy

Where NAD+
has been studied.

The aging association reflects NAD biology. Metabolite measurements and short-term tolerability are not proof of more energy or improved healthspan.

Cellular metabolism

A small intravenous pilot measured changes in NAD-related metabolites. It did not establish more energy, better cognition or improved healthspan.

Read the publication

Injection tolerability

A preliminary report includes a very small subcutaneous NAD+ group. It is not peer reviewed and cannot establish lasting clinical benefit or long-term safety.

Safety & suitability

Is NAD+ right for you?

Small pilot studies and preprints leave substantial uncertainty about long-term injection safety and clinical benefit.

Suitability depends on the specific preparation, intended use and clinical assessment. Product authorization must be verified separately from facility licensing.

The evidence

NAD+:
what has been studied.

Small studies have measured metabolism and short-term tolerability. They do not establish more everyday energy, better cognition or longer healthy life from NAD+ injections.

Pilot human study

2019

The study documented changes in circulating and urinary NAD-related metabolites.

11 men; eight received NAD+ · Intravenous

What remains uncertain

It did not demonstrate improved energy, cognition or anti-aging outcomes.

About this evidence review

Evidence for oral NR or NMN, IV NAD+ and subcutaneous NAD+ is not interchangeable. The injected substance and route both matter.

Our review approach

For your consultation

Know what to ask.

Three questions to help you discuss NAD+. Your clinician decides which preparation, checks and follow-up are relevant.

01

The preparation

What exactly are we considering?

What is the exact ingredient, formulation and strength, and how would it be used?

02

Your assessment

What needs checking first?

Which baseline checks, if any, would be appropriate for my health history?

03

Your follow-up

How will we review the plan?

What would count as a meaningful benefit, when would we review it, and which side effects should I report?

These questions are not a dosing schedule or a required test panel. Your clinician individualizes the plan.

A considered approach
to peptide care.

A peptide name is only the beginning. The preparation, clinical need and available evidence all matter to the decision.

  1. 01

    Start with the clinical question

    Discuss the symptoms or diagnosis behind your interest in a peptide, alongside current medicines and previous treatment.

  2. 02

    Review the exact preparation

    Consider the evidence for its route and intended use, its regulatory status, and established treatment alternatives.

  3. 03

    Make an informed decision

    Discuss potential benefits, uncertainties and risks. A prescription is considered only when clinically appropriate and permitted.

  4. 04

    Agree how to review progress

    If treatment is prescribed, agree on monitoring, side effects to report and when to reassess the plan.

A few things to know

Your questions,
answered.

How is NAD+ considered in a consultation?

Your physician reviews your symptoms, history, current medicines and goals. The discussion should include the specific evidence, risks, alternatives and a follow-up plan before any treatment decision.

Which NAD+ format is right for me?

Evidence for oral NR or NMN, IV NAD+ and subcutaneous NAD+ is not interchangeable. The injected substance and route both matter.

What should I know about the safety of NAD+?

Small pilot studies and preprints leave substantial uncertainty about long-term injection safety and clinical benefit.

Can I order without a consultation?

Prescription treatment is considered only after clinical assessment. Browsing a format does not select a dose, determine eligibility or guarantee a prescription.
