I received NAD+ from QST and it does not dissolve at all and just settles in the bottom of the vital. Should I trash it?
I also got glow from them and I am wondering if I should even try that.

Is it buffered or unbuffered? Have you tested the PH? I have heard that if the PH is super low, adding some sodium bicarbonate will help it dissolve. If it is unbuffered you need to adjust the PH to 5.5-6 otherwise it can cause flesh damage when you pin it (think pinning lemon juice).
 
Sorry to hear! This is one pep I don't fool with. I tried and now I've fallen in love with mots
 
It was advertised as buffered.
I would still test the PH to see if you can add a little SB without pushing the PH over 6 to help it dissolve. If you choose to do this don't forget to add a vent needle to the vial. It will bubble a lot.

Are you using fresh hospira BAC water? Is it a 600mg vial and how much BAC did you add?

If all else fails just contact QST to see if you can get them to replace it.

Where do u get the SB ?
 
I am using glow from QST and it seems good. I've got NAD+ and MOTS-C on the way from them. I'll post if it they dissolve or not. Reta 10mg from QST did not have vacuum. I tested 4 R10 vials, no vacuum but they did hold pressure.

I got glow from them too. Now sure if I should try that.

Every time you write that my skin crawls... 🙄

My first response was WFT did I do to you? Then I realized you meant my analogy of pinning a very low PH fruit juice. Sorry about that, just trying to express the importance of not pinning something that has a PH of two and can cause damage to your body.

OMG! I am sorry you took it like that!

I get it.. I really do. It is just that Oyster's last escapade scared the shit out of me. I will never inject that shit... ever.
 
QST Nad+ is not dissolving. I didn't notice it in the first vial right away because of the brown vial. Later I shined a flashlight through it and lots of powder. I just loaded a second vial, used a flashlight and see the powder. Just did a ph test and it looks very acidic. It is supposed to be buffered!PXL_20250201_054320306.jpgPXL_20250201_054050444.jpg

You need to use more bac water..

I use 3ML for every 500mg vial.

Some people use even more 5-10 ml for unbuffered NAD+. You can also use 2.5ml BAC and then add sodium bicarbonate to bring the PH up to 5-6 (but not above 6) and the add the remaining bac water (subtracting however many units of SB you added). Be sure to add a vent needle though because it will bubble like crazy.
I just realized this info is already in this thread, start by reading the thread 🙂


I hate the amber vials, it makes it harder to see floaters and crystallization. I am perfectly capable of shielding the NAD from sunlight, I don't need an amber vial.

Wait to use it, mine completely settled on the bottom as a powder and I got a refund

i just added more water (solvent), if you have to much solute (product) it will not dissolve in the solvent. Those 6 chemistry classes are finally paying off. I had 500mg in mine i added 1 ml, could see there was no way it would dissolve into the solution went to 2.5 ml added the NA Bicab swirled it i could see it went into the solution. It was perfect at 3ml.

Make sure to the test the PH, from what I have read if it is >6 it will degrade quickly.

Correct that was the 2nd thing i did. the big difference is i buy powder by the gram, or in this case 100 gram. I had 500mg in a 5 ml vile a lot of room to get everything right
 
I just got a kit in from Joyous. It is actually labeled "requires 3ml bac water". Some do 5ml. I will probably do 4ml bac and 1ml lido/epi for my first go around...
 
The first vial I used 6ml bac and it did not fully dissolve. The second vial I used 3ml because I was going to filter and transfer it to a pen if it dissolved but it did not.
 
I have qst nad+ and faced same problem. With first vial everything was fine but rest of the vials are not dissolving fully even after i added .5ml sodium bicarbonate. Also it's not buffered, qst made a false advertisement about buffered part.
Without SB it hurts really bad. She offered me replacement but i will push for refund cuz i asked for buffered and got unbuffered acid

I believe you did not add enough water and swirl it enough. Flash back as a kid putting to much chocolate in my milk to make chocolate milk and that was what was left on the bottom of my cup. Or its a bad batch

I reconstituted with 4ml bac water, i think it's enough for 500mg nad. I also heated the vial with hair dryer but crystals remained undissolved. May be a bad batch because first vial was great, I didn't even add SB
