What is the "Subcutaneous loading" protocol for NAD+?

50-100 mg · Daily · 1-2 weeks

What is the "Subcutaneous maintenance" protocol for NAD+?

100-200 mg · 2-3× weekly · 8-12 weeks

What is the "IV infusion" protocol for NAD+?

250-1000 mg · 1-2× weekly · 4-6 weeks - Slow infusion 2-4 hours to minimize side effects

Dosing

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) - dosing protocol

NAD+ is administered under the skin (s.c. injection) or intravenously (into the vein). Subcutaneous protocols: 50-100 mg daily for 1-2 weeks loading, then 100-200 mg 2-3× weekly maintenance. IV infusions: 250-1000 mg over 2-4 hours.

Route

Subcutaneous (s.c.) or intravenous (IV infusion)

Dose

50-1000 mg

Half-life

Complex metabolism; ~10 minutes serum

Storage

2-8°C protected from light; reconstituted — 7 days

Dosing regimens

Standard regimens from the literature. The choice depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Protocol

Subcutaneous maintenance

Protocol

IV infusion

Dose: 250-1000 mg
Frequency: 1-2× weekly
Duration: 4-6 weeks

Slow infusion 2-4 hours to minimize side effects

Side effects

Rapid IV infusion produces a flushing/chest-tightness sensation — hence the 2-4 hour slow infusion standard. Subcutaneous administration has a milder profile but more prolonged local reactions.
