Reconstitution Instructions
Reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water for Injection (BWFI). Maintain aseptic technique. Do not use non-sterile water.
Option 1: 10 mL BWFI → 50 mg/mL
| Volume Drawn | NAD+ Dose |
|---|---|
| 1 mL | 50 mg |
| 2 mL | 100 mg |
| 5 mL | 250 mg |
| 10 mL | 500 mg |
Clinical note: 100 mg dose requires 2 mL injection.
Option 2: 5 mL BWFI → 100 mg/mL (preferred for SubQ comfort)
| Volume Drawn | NAD+ Dose |
|---|---|
| 0.5 mL | 50 mg |
| 1 mL | 100 mg |
| 2.5 mL | 250 mg |
| 5 mL | 500 mg |
Clinical note: 100 mg dose requires 1 mL injection.
Suggested Clinical Dosing
Common protocol: 100 mg subcutaneous injection twice weekly. At 50 mg/mL draw 2 mL; at 100 mg/mL draw 1 mL. Weekly total: 200 mg. Higher dosing may be divided across two injection sites.
Administration Steps
Recommended volume per site: 1–2 mL. Ideal concentration for comfort: 100 mg/mL. Rotate injection sites (abdomen, flank, posterior upper arm). Avoid exceeding 2 mL per single site.
- Clean injection site with alcohol swab; allow to dry.
- Draw dose with sterile syringe using aseptic technique.
- Pinch skin at abdomen or thigh to create subcutaneous pocket.
- Insert needle at 45–90° angle; inject slowly over 20–30 seconds per mL.
- Withdraw needle; apply gentle pressure with gauze.
- Dispose of syringe and needle in sharps container.
What to Expect
Injection site sensations
Mild burning or stinging (due to mildly acidic pH). Typically resolves within 5–15 minutes.
Temporary local reactions
Mild redness, warmth, firmness, slight swelling — resolves within hours.
Early systemic sensations
Increased mental clarity, improved focus, subtle mood elevation, enhanced daytime energy. Effects may be subtle and cumulative over 2–4 weeks. Individual results may vary.
