Peptides › NAD+
Cellular Energy Coenzyme · Energy, Cognition & Longevity
A recharge for your cells' batteries. NAD+ tops up the fuel your body runs on — people come back for the clean energy, sharper focus, and that whole-body "reset" feeling.
NAD+ isn't a peptide — it's a coenzyme every cell uses to turn food into energy, and it also fuels the repair crews that keep your cells young. The catch is that your levels fall steadily from your 40s onward, which is the whole reason for topping it up. Injecting skips the digestive breakdown that limits pills.
Injected NAD+ is a gradual builder, not an instant hit — most people feel steadier energy and sharper focus over the first couple of weeks. Mornings are the usual timing, since it can feel a little activating. The one quirk to know: injecting it can sting for a few minutes, so go slow and rotate your sites.
Small human studies Studied in people, but in small groups rather than large trials.
Most people land at 50 mg · Mon / Wed / Fri, morning.
That is where most people settle, not a number you have to reach. The right dose is the lowest one that is doing the job — when it is working, you stop climbing. Plenty of people sit a step or two below the top and stay there for good, and there is nothing second best about that.
The routes below are three ways up, not three different destinations. Most people take Steady. If you have had a rough time with medication before, or you would simply rather ease in, take one of the slower ones — going up more slowly has not been shown to cost results. Holding at a step because a week was hard is a normal part of this, not falling behind. Each row gives you the dose and exactly what that is on the syringe.
Different goals land in different places. Which path fits what you are doing further down shows where each one sits.

THE DOSE IS NOT THE MAIN LEVER HERE. The flushing and chest tightness people describe come from injecting too fast, not from the amount. Push the plunger over two minutes or more and most of it does not happen. Starting at 25mg helps as well.
Mixing: 1000 mg + 10 ml → 100 mg/ml. Add the water slowly down the inside of the glass and roll it — never shake it. Keep it in the fridge at 2–8 °C once mixed. Units above are on a standard U-100 insulin syringe.
The same compound, aimed at different things, and they do not all land in the same place. The Protocol Builder will pick one for you if you would rather not choose.
| Path | Dose | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Standard — 50mg, three times a week | 50mg | Mon / Wed / Fri, morning |
| More — 100mg, three times a week | 100mg | Mon / Wed / Fri, morning |
| Standard — 50mg, three times a week | 50mg | Mon / Wed / Fri, morning |
The main thing is to inject SLOWLY. Going fast is what causes the flushing and chest tightness people describe. It passes in minutes and is not dangerous, but it is unpleasant.
Same flushing, and more likely at this amount. Inject slowly and give it time.

Every batch is independently assayed before it is sold, and the lab measures how much peptide is actually in the vial — not just how pure it is. The most recent batch tested here came in 23% over the labelled amount. That is deliberate: we would rather you got more than you paid for than less.
