Cellular Energy & Longevity
100 mg / mL Injectable Solution
NAD+ is a coenzyme, not a peptide. We include it in our portfolio because it complements peptide protocols and supports the cellular foundation those therapies depend on.
NAD+ is present in every cell of your body — essential for energy, DNA repair, and the cellular signals that govern aging. Levels decline by up to half between your 20s and 50s. Subcutaneous NAD+ therapy supports the cellular foundation that everything else depends on.
About NAD+
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell in your body. It is one of the most important molecules in human biology — essential for converting the food you eat into the energy your cells use, repairing DNA damage, and regulating the cellular signals that govern aging.
The challenge: NAD+ levels decline significantly with age. Research suggests adults in their 50s have roughly half the NAD+ levels they had in their 20s. This decline is recognized as a meaningful contributor to many of the cellular hallmarks of aging — slower energy production, reduced cellular repair, and the gradual loss of metabolic resilience.
Subcutaneous NAD+ therapy delivers the coenzyme directly, supporting the cellular machinery that depends on it — without requiring an in-clinic IV infusion.
Mechanisms
NAD+ supports cellular health through several critical roles:
Common Applications
NAD+ is often used as a foundational therapy that supports everything else — energy, recovery, aging, and performance.
Mental and physical stamina — supporting the cellular energy production that everything else depends on
Focus, cognitive sharpness, and easier mornings — often among the first effects patients notice
Supporting the cellular processes that decline with age — addressing aging at its most fundamental level
From exercise, illness, and daily stress — cellular repair and resilience at the mitochondrial level
Supporting mitochondrial function and energy production during high training loads and demanding seasons
Supporting metabolic resilience, cellular efficiency, and the regulatory pathways that maintain metabolic balance
Delivery Options
Both routes deliver NAD+ effectively. For most patients pursuing sustainable, long-term cellular support, subcutaneous injection is the more practical choice.
| Factor | Subcutaneous Injection | IV Infusion |
|---|---|---|
| Administration | At-home, self-administered, takes minutes | In-clinic, typically 1–4 hours per session |
| Frequency | 2–5 times per week, ongoing | Typically 1–2 times per month |
| Cost | Lower per session — sustainable long-term | Higher per session |
| Comfort | Generally well-tolerated; mild warmth typical | Commonly associated with chest pressure, flushing, GI discomfort during drip |
| Best for | Sustainable, ongoing cellular support as a long-term foundation | Acute high-dose protocols or occasional intensive sessions |
| Convenience | ★★★★★ Self-administered at home | ★★★ Requires clinic visit |
Protocol
NAD+ is administered as a subcutaneous injection — a quick, at-home process that takes just minutes. Many patients dose in the morning to take advantage of the energy and clarity benefits throughout the day.
Most clinicians recommend a loading period of 4–8 weeks with higher frequency dosing, followed by an ongoing maintenance schedule. Because NAD+ supports continuous cellular processes, many patients continue indefinitely at a maintenance dose rather than cycling on and off.
Your 100 mg / mL vial provides flexibility across typical loading and maintenance protocols. Your clinician will prescribe your exact protocol based on your goals and health profile.
Context ranges only. Your clinician will prescribe your personalized protocol at consultation.
Timeline
NAD+ often produces noticeable effects relatively quickly — many patients notice a difference within the first week or two — with cumulative cellular benefits building over months.
Many patients describe feeling a "lift" — improved mental clarity, energy, and focus — within the first week or two. Some notice this almost immediately; for others it builds gradually over the first several sessions.
Energy and stamina often stabilize at a higher baseline. Many patients report better mental sharpness, easier mornings, and improved recovery from exercise and daily demands.
Patients often describe a sense of "I just feel like myself again" or "I have the energy I used to have." The deeper cellular benefits of restored NAD+ levels become increasingly apparent.
NAD+ is often used as a long-term foundational therapy. Many patients continue with maintenance dosing because the cellular benefits of supporting NAD+ levels are continuous rather than episodic.
Questions
Candidacy
NAD+ may not be appropriate for individuals who:
Your clinician will review your full health history during your consultation to determine candidacy.
Book a telehealth consultation with a Naya Wellness clinician. We'll review your goals and health profile to determine whether NAD+ — alone or as part of a broader protocol — is right for you.
No office visit required. Available via telehealth.
