Benefits, Usage, Storage & Administration
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is a crucial coenzyme found in every cell of the body, playing a fundamental role in cellular metabolism, energy production, and overall vitality. As we age, NAD+ levels decline — by age 50, levels are nearly half of what they were in youth — contributing to various age-related conditions, fatigue, and cognitive decline. Supplementing with NAD+ may help counteract these effects and support overall wellness.
NAD+ levels naturally diminish over time due to increased activity of NADase enzymes, particularly CD38. Studies indicate that by age 50, NAD+ levels are nearly half of what they were in youth, leading to increased oxidative stress, reduced cellular repair, and overall metabolic decline.
Age 20
NAD+ Level: 100%
Age 40
NAD+ Level: ~60%
Age 60+
NAD+ Level: ~30%
To prepare NAD+ for injection:
500mg Vial: Add 5mL of bacteriostatic water
1000mg Vial: Add 10mL of bacteriostatic water
Swirl gently — do not shake vigorously
Refrigerate immediately after mixing
NAD+ peptides are commonly administered via subcutaneous injection:
Clean injection site with an alcohol swab
Draw up the solution using a sterile insulin syringe
Pinch skin — choose a site at least 2 inches from the belly button
Insert needle at a 45–90 degree angle
Slowly push the plunger to inject the solution
Dispose of needle immediately in a sharps container
Weeks 1–4: 25mg, 1–3x/week
Weeks 5–8: 50mg, 1–3x/week
Week 9+: 100mg, 1–3x/week

Yes, NAD+ peptides can complement other wellness supplements such as CoQ10, resveratrol, and vitamin B3 (niacin), which further support mitochondrial health. Always consult a healthcare provider before combining supplements.
Effects vary per individual, but most users report improved energy and cognitive function within 2–4 weeks of consistent NAD+ use. Other peptides may show effects faster or slower depending on the target system.
While generally well-tolerated, individuals with pre-existing conditions, pregnant women, and those on medication should consult a healthcare provider before use. Contraindications vary by peptide.
Subcutaneous (SubQ) injections go into the fatty tissue just below the skin, typically in the abdomen. Intramuscular (IM) injections go deeper into muscle tissue. Most peptides use SubQ administration for convenience and consistent absorption.
Always use a sharps disposal container for used needles and syringes. Many pharmacies offer sharps disposal services. Never dispose of needles in regular trash or recycling.
Many peptides are commonly stacked for synergistic effects (e.g., CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin, BPC-157 + TB-500). However, stacking should always be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.
