NAD+ injections are a form of cellular and metabolic therapy that deliver nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) directly into the bloodstream or muscle tissue via intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SQ) injection. Unlike oral precursors (like NMN or NR), these injections bypass the digestive system, offering faster and more direct bioavailability.
🔹 What Is NAD+?
NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme crucial for energy production, DNA repair, and cellular longevity. It supports mitochondrial function—the powerhouse of the cell—and plays a role in hundreds of metabolic reactions.
✅ Health Benefits of NAD+ Injections:
Boosts energy levels and reduces fatigue, especially in individuals with burnout or chronic stress
Enhances brain function, including memory, focus, and clarity (often used for "brain fog")
Supports healthy aging by activating sirtuins (longevity-related proteins) and aiding in DNA repair
Promotes recovery from intense physical activity or illness
Improves metabolic function, supporting better weight control and insulin sensitivity
Supports detoxification, especially useful in recovery from alcohol or substance use
May improve mood, with anecdotal support for reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms
💉 How It’s Administered:
IM or SQ injections are typically given 1–3 times per week, depending on goals
Can be used on its own or as part of a broader protocol (e.g., with B12, glutathione, or amino acids)
Low-dose injections (e.g., 50–200 mg) are commonly used for wellness and maintenance
High-dose NAD+ is usually delivered by IV and reserved for more intensive protocols (e.g., detox or neuroregeneration)
Note: NAD+ injections are generally well tolerated, but some may experience mild flushing, dizziness, or warmth at the injection site. These side effects are usually temporary.
