NAD+ Injections

NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It's a coenzyme every cell in your body relies on, and it's involved in hundreds of metabolic reactions; most notably converting the food you eat into usable energy at the cellular level. It also plays a role in DNA repair processes and cell signaling.

The catch is that NAD+ levels naturally decline as we get older. Researchers have looked at NAD+ supplementation as one way of addressing that decline, though the science is still developing and much of the strongest evidence so far comes from animal studies rather than large-scale human trials.

Potential Benefits:

– May support normal cellular energy metabolism
– May play a role in normal DNA repair processes
– May support normal metabolic function
– May support normal cognitive function as part of overall cellular health

These statements describe the role NAD+ plays in human biology, as documented in the scientific literature. They're not claims that this compounded product treats, cures, or prevents any diseases or conditions, and individual results vary significantly and aren't guaranteed.

Product Purchase Includes:

– Medication
– Medical provider consultation
– Syringes
– Alcohol Pads
– Program guide
– Administration video

Administration and Frequency:

– Subcutaneous (SQ) injection
– As directed by your prescribing provider

Contraindications:

NAD+ injection may not be appropriate for individuals who:

– Have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to NAD+ or any component of the formulation
– Have active cancer or a history of certain cancers. Some research has raised theoretical questions about NAD+'s role in cellular proliferation, so this should be discussed directly with your prescribing provider and, if relevant, your oncologist
– Have significant liver or kidney impairment. NAD+ metabolism involves both organs, and dosing may need adjustment
– Are pregnant or breastfeeding. Safety hasn't been established for this compounded formulation
– Are currently undergoing chemotherapy. Discuss timing and any potential interactions with your oncology team before starting

Warnings and Precautions:

– Infusion-related reactions. Some patients report flushing, chest tightness, or a racing heartbeat during or shortly after administration, particularly if the injection is given too quickly. Administration should follow your provider's specific instructions.
– Liver and kidney monitoring. Because NAD+ is processed through both organs, patients with any degree of hepatic or renal impairment should be monitored by their prescribing provider.
– Interactions with cancer treatment. If you're currently in cancer treatment or have a history of cancer, talk to both your oncologist and your prescribing provider before starting NAD+. This is a real, active area of caution, not a boilerplate.
– Injection site care. Rotate injection sites and follow proper technique to reduce irritation.

Tell your provider about every medication, supplement, and condition you have before starting this compounded formulation, not just the ones that seem obviously relevant.

Potential Side Effects:

Reported side effects may include:

– Flushing or warmth, especially during administration
– Nausea
– Headache
– Fatigue immediately following injection (often temporary)
– Injection site pain, redness, or irritation
– Chest tightness or rapid heartbeat if administered too quickly

If you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction, hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing, seek emergency care right away. For anything else unexpected or concerning, contact your prescribing provider.
