NAD+ 500mg

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) Injection Dosage Guide

Disclaimer: Always consult a healthcare professional before beginning NAD+ therapy. Dosage can vary based on individual needs, health goals, and underlying conditions.

What is NAD+?

NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production and mitochondrial function. It is commonly used for anti-aging, improved mental clarity, increased energy, addiction recovery, and metabolic optimization.

Forms of Administration:

• Subcutaneous (SubQ) or Intramuscular (IM) injection
• IV (for higher doses under medical supervision)

General Dosage Guidelines:

1. Low-Dose Maintenance Therapy:

• Purpose: General wellness, anti-aging, and boosting energy
• Dose: 50 mg to 150 mg, 2-3 times per week
• Administration: SubQ or IM injection
• Duration: Long-term use (e.g., 2-3 months, then reevaluate)

2. Moderate-Dose for Enhanced Energy and Cognitive Function:

• Purpose: Mental clarity, fatigue, recovery from stress
• Dose: 250 mg to 500 mg per injection, 1-2 times per week
• Administration: IM or SubQ (administer slowly to minimize discomfort)
• Duration: Typically 4-8 weeks followed by a maintenance phase

3. High-Dose (Detox, Addiction Recovery, or Intensive Anti-Aging Therapy):

• Purpose: Addiction recovery, accelerated detoxification, mitochondrial repair
• Dose: 500 mg to 1,000 mg per injection, 3-5 times per week

Administration:

• IM or SubQ (split the dose if injecting >500 mg to reduce discomfort)

Duration: 7-14 days for intensive therapy, then transition to lower maintenance doses

Injection Instructions:

• Syringe Type: Use an insulin or small-gauge syringe for SubQ injections
• Injection Sites:
• SubQ: Abdomen, thigh, or upper arm
• Injection Speed: Administer slowly to reduce discomfort and nausea (especially for higher doses)

Storage:

• Store reconstituted NAD+ solution in the refrigerator (36°F to 46°F / 2°C to 8°C) and protect it from light.
• Do not freeze. Use reconstituted solutions within the timeframe recommended by the manufacturer.

Common Side Effects and Management:

• Nausea, headache, muscle fatigue: Reduce the dose or slow the injection rate.
• Injection site irritation: Rotate injection sites and ensure proper sterilization.
• Flushing or mild dizziness: Take breaks between higher doses or split large injections into smaller portions.

Recommended Supplements (for enhanced effectiveness):

• Tryptophan or Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN): Supports NAD+ synthesis.
• CoQ10 and L-Carnitine: Enhance mitochondrial function.
• Electrolytes (potassium, magnesium): Help reduce muscle fatigue and cramps.

Special Considerations:

• Hydration: Ensure proper hydration before and after injection.
• Monitoring: If using NAD+ for therapeutic purposes (e.g., addiction recovery), regular supervision and lab tests may be necessary.
• Gradual Increase: Begin with lower doses and gradually increase as tolerated to avoid nausea or fatigue.

Sample Protocol for General Use:

For intensive treatment:

Note: Higher doses (e.g., >500 mg) are generally given via IV infusion in clinical settings. Ensure any high-dose protocol is medically supervised.

Always consult a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dose for your health needs.
