What is NAD+, and why do people use it?

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell. It helps your body produce energy, support metabolism, and carry out DNA repair. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which is why some people use NAD+ supplements as part of a wellness routine.

People use NAD+ supplements to support cellular energy, cognitive function, metabolism, and healthy ageing. Results vary, and research is ongoing.

How can you verify that your My NAD product is genuine?

Why is product authentication important for supplements?

Counterfeit supplements may contain incorrect ingredients, improper dosages, or poor-quality materials. Verifying authenticity helps ensure you receive a genuine product that meets quality and safety standards.

Who should consider taking NAD+ supplements?

Adults interested in supporting healthy aging, energy metabolism, cellular health, and overall wellness may consider NAD+ supplements. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement.

Are NAD+ supplements generally well tolerated?

NAD+ supplements are generally well tolerated when you use them as directed. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a medical condition, you should speak with a healthcare professional before use.

Why do NAD+ levels decline with age?

Research indicates that NAD+ levels naturally decrease as we age due to changes in cellular metabolism and increased demand for DNA repair processes. This decline has led to growing interest in NAD+ supplementation.

NAD+ Injection Site: Where and How to Inject Safely at Home

Subcutaneous NAD+ injections are typically given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, rotated daily to avoid irritation. Always clean the site first, inject at the correct angle, and follow the specific instructions that come with your kit.

Approved Injection Sites

Subcutaneous NAD+ is generally administered in one of three areas: the abdomen (staying at least two inches from the belly button), the front or outer thigh, or the back of the upper arm. Each of these areas has enough fatty tissue for a subcutaneous injection and is easy to reach for self-administration.

Before You Inject: Hygiene & Preparation

Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any injection materials. Clean the vial top and the injection site itself with an alcohol swab, and let the area air-dry completely before injecting — this reduces the risk of irritation or infection. Always inspect the solution first; it should look clear and free of any particles.

Step-by-Step Injection Technique

Gently pinch the skin at your chosen site. Insert the needle at an angle between 45 and 90 degrees, depending on the needle length and your body type, then inject the solution slowly and steadily. Once finished, withdraw the needle and apply gentle pressure with a clean swab. Dispose of the needle immediately in a designated sharps container — never in household waste.

Rotating Injection Sites

Using the same spot repeatedly can lead to irritation or tissue changes over time. Rotate between your approved sites daily, and keep a simple record if it helps you remember which area you last used.

When to Seek Medical Attention

Most people tolerate subcutaneous NAD+ injections with only mild, temporary reactions like soreness or redness at the injection site. However, you should seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, a rapid heart rate, dizziness, or difficulty breathing after an injection. Before your first dose, review the safety information provided with your product — every injectable kit on My NAD+ requires you to confirm you've read this information at checkout.
