If you’re looking to boost your energy levels, enhance cognitive function, and support healthy aging, NAD+ injections may be the solution you’ve been seeking. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started with NAD+ injections, including dosing, reconstitution, what to expect, and how to optimize your protocol for the best results.

 

What is NAD+?

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It plays a crucial role in energy production, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. As we age, our NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to age-related health issues. NAD+ injections can help restore optimal levels and support overall cellular health.

 

Benefits of NAD+ injections 

• Increased energy and stamina

• Enhanced cognitive function and mental clarity

• Improved athletic performance and recovery

• Better sleep quality

• Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress

• Supported healthy aging and longevity

 

Getting Started with NAD+ Injections

1. Order Your NAD+ Vials:

Begin by ordering your NAD+ vials from a reputable source, such as Practical Peptides. Our vials contain 1000mg of high-purity, pharmaceutical-grade NAD+ in a lyophilized (freeze-dried) form.

2. Schedule Your Provider Consultation: 

After placing your order, schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our Practical Peptides healthcare providers. This consultation will help determine if NAD+ injections are right for you and establish an appropriate dosing protocol.

3. Receive Your Medication:

Once your consultation is complete and your prescription is approved, your medication will be shipped directly to your door. Your shipment will include everything you need for administration, except for a sharps container.

4. Prepare for Administration:

Gather the necessary supplies included in your shipment: bacteriostatic water for reconstitution, insulin syringes, and alcohol swabs. Ensure you have a sharps container for the safe disposal of used needles.

 

Reconstituting NAD+

1. Remove the plastic cap from the NAD+ vial to expose the rubber stopper. Wipe the stopper with an alcohol swab to ensure sterility.

2. Draw 5mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe, then slowly inject it into the NAD+ vial. Direct the stream of water against the glass wall to avoid disrupting the powder.

3. Gently swirl the vial until the powder is completely dissolved. Do not shake, as this can create bubbles.

4. The reconstituted solution will contain 1000mg of NAD+ in 5mL of liquid (200mg/mL). Store the vial in the refrigerator and use within 14 days.

 

Dosing and Administration 

• The typical starting dose for NAD+ injections is 0.1mL (10 units or 20mg), injected subcutaneously 1-3 times per week.

• Gradually increase the dose by 0.05-0.1mL (5-10 units or 10-20mg) as needed, up to a maximum of 0.5mL (50 units or 100mg) per injection.

• To administer the injection, draw your dose into an insulin syringe, clean the injection site with an alcohol swab, pinch the skin, and inject the solution at a 45-degree angle. Rotate injection sites to minimize discomfort and scar tissue buildup.

Note: This is an example dosing schedule, and your specific dosing instructions may vary. Always follow the guidance provided by your healthcare provider.

 

What to Expect

• Immediately after the injection, you may feel a flush of warmth and possibly mild stomach cramping. This is normal and usually subsides within 5 minutes.

• Over the following days and weeks, most users report increased energy, improved mental clarity, enhanced recovery, and a greater overall sense of well-being.

 

Optimizing Your NAD+ Protocol 

To maximize the benefits of NAD+ injections, consider:

• Taking supportive supplements like NMN, pterostilbene, and resveratrol

• Eating a nutrient-dense diet low in processed foods and high in niacin-rich foods like salmon, mushrooms, and green peas

• Practicing healthy lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, stress management, and getting enough sleep

 

Monitoring Your Progress with NAD+

Keep track of your subjective experience by noting changes in energy levels, mental clarity, recovery time, and overall well-being. You may also work with your healthcare provider to monitor objective markers such as blood NAD+ levels, inflammatory markers, and other relevant biomarkers.

 

Frequently Asked Questions with NAD+

1. How long does it take to feel the effects of NAD+ injections?

Some people report feeling a boost in energy and mental clarity within hours of their first injection, while others notice a more gradual improvement over several weeks. Most users experience significant benefits by the one-month mark of consistent dosing.

2. Can I inject NAD+ intramuscularly?

Yes, NAD+ can be injected intramuscularly for faster absorption. However, subcutaneous injections are generally easier to self-administer and are the most common route for NAD+ injections.

3. Are there any side effects to be aware of?

NAD+ injections are generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, headache, or fatigue. These typically resolve on their own within a few days. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, consult your healthcare provider.

4. How long can I stay on NAD+ injections?

The duration of your NAD+ protocol will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some people use NAD+ injections as a short-term boost, while others maintain a long-term protocol for ongoing support.
