NAD+ (500mg)

Table of Contents

  • Quickstart Highlights

NAD+ (500mg) protocols focus on this essential coenzyme found in all living cells, critical for energy production, DNA repair, and cellular metabolism. NAD+ plays a key role in mitochondrial function and activates sirtuin pathways associated with healthy aging and metabolic efficiency. This guide outlines a subcutaneous or intravenous administration approach, depending on clinical or research settings, optimized for the 500 mg vial format.

  • Reconstitute: Add 10 mL bacteriostatic water → 50 mg/mL concentration
  • Typical dose range: 100–300 mg per session (subcutaneous or IV, depending on protocol)
  • Easy measuring: At 50 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL = 0.5 mg on a U-100 insulin syringe
  • Storage: Lyophilized: store at −20 °C; after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 5–7 days
  • Protocol Overview

Concise summary of the NAD+ regimen.

  • Goal: Support cellular energy production, mitochondrial function, and recovery
  • Schedule: Intermittent sessions (not necessarily daily) depending on protocol goals
  • Dose Range: 100–300 mg per session
  • Dosing Protocol

Suggested approach for the 500 mg vial format.

  • Start: 100 mg per session to assess tolerance
  • Target: 200–300 mg per session
  • Frequency: 2–3 times per week or as needed
  • Vial Duration: One 500 mg vial typically lasts 2–5 sessions, depending on dose
  • Timing: Morning or early day preferred for energy and metabolic support
  • Mechanism of Action

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme present in all cells, playing a central role in redox reactions that generate ATP (cellular energy). It cycles between oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) states to support metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

NAD+ also activates sirtuins (SIRT1–SIRT7), a family of proteins involved in DNA repair, inflammation regulation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular longevity pathways. Levels of NAD+ naturally decline with age, which is associated with reduced metabolic efficiency and increased oxidative stress. Supplementation strategies aim to restore intracellular NAD+ availability to support these processes.
