ENERGY · NAD+
Your days ask a lot of you. NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell, involved in how your body turns food into energy. It’s also a popular area of wellness research that’s still early. Explore it with a clinician who will tell you what’s known, and what isn’t.
THE TREATMENT
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels decline with age in some tissues, which has made it a focus of aging research. Whether taking NAD+ improves how people feel or function has not been established.
Form and dose set by your clinician
Prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy for an individual prescription. There is no FDA-approved NAD+ product, so there is no approved label, established dose, or FDA review of safety, effectiveness, or quality.

WHO IT MAY SUIT
A clinician makes the call. These are good signs it’s worth a conversation.
HOW IT WORKS
Start when it suits you. A licensed clinician takes it from there.
Answer questions online about your health history, your goals, and what you’ve been noticing. You can be candid.
A licensed clinician in your state reviews your answers, may follow up or ask for lab work, and decides whether a treatment is appropriate.
If you’re prescribed a treatment, a licensed pharmacy fills it and ships it to you.
Message your care team with questions, check in on how it’s going, and adjust your plan over time.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Not a complete list. Your clinician and pharmacist will go over the full information for anything you’re prescribed.
LET’S TALK ABOUT IT
There aren’t adequate human trials showing that NAD+ injections or sprays improve energy, aging, or performance. Research on NAD+ and how it changes with age continues, and your clinician can tell you where it stands.
They’re related. Your body makes NAD+ from forms of vitamin B3, including niacin and nicotinamide. They aren’t interchangeable products.
NAD+ is not FDA-approved. FDA is still evaluating whether NAD+ belongs on the list of substances pharmacies may use in compounding, and allows it in the meantime under an interim policy. Any prescription is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for you specifically.
