Metabolic cofactor

NAD+ dosage calculator

Reconstitute NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a metabolic cofactor that is not a peptide and is not FDA-approved for injectable wellness use, and convert your mg dose into the exact units to draw. Enter your vial strength and bacteriostatic water volume for the precise mark on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Common questions

How do I reconstitute NAD+?

Add your chosen volume of bacteriostatic water to the lyophilized vial, directing the stream gently against the glass wall, and swirl slowly (do not shake) until the powder is fully dissolved. The calculator above converts your vial size and water volume into the exact draw volume and units for the dose you enter. Store the reconstituted solution refrigerated and use within the period recommended by your supplier.

What is the NAD+ injection dosage?

There is no FDA-approved or standardized injectable NAD+ dose. Protocols described by clinics and suppliers vary widely, and any figure you encounter has no clinically established basis and is not a recommendation. This calculator performs math on the values you enter; it does not recommend any dose. Consult a licensed clinician before using any injectable product.

How many units is 100 mg of NAD+?

It depends on your reconstitution concentration. With a 500 mg vial in 5 mL of bacteriostatic water (100 mg/mL), a 100 mg dose is 1.0 mL, which equals 100 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, the full barrel of a standard 1 mL syringe. Enter your own vial size and water volume in the calculator above for your exact number.

Is injectable NAD+ FDA-approved?

No. Injectable NAD+ is not approved by the FDA for any wellness or therapeutic use, and NAD has been among the bulk substances the FDA proposed not be included on the 503A compounding bulks list. This calculator is for educational purposes only, does not endorse injectable NAD+ use, and does not constitute medical advice.
