NAD+ injection vs supplement?
- Thread starter Wellwell

NAD+ bioavailability through oral supplements is too low to make it worthwhile. The best way to get it is directly into the bloodstream, which is impractical for most people. IM is better than subcutaneous, but some people will argue that is even a waste. NAD precursors like Nicotinamide (B3) are absorbed well though. You can get B-Complex from India pretty cheap that contains B3, B5, B12 etc. If you are doing NAD+ you should take those as well.
I got b complex supplement from Walmart already, unless you are talking about an injection.
Yes, I’m referring to injection but the B vitamins do have much better absorption orally than NAD.
I have used NAD since I have been on reta and honestly don't know if I can say that I have noticed anything. When I first started using it, there was maybe some effect but I suspect it was because I was expecting one (i.e placebo). I do still take it 3x per week at 100mg per dose but I can't really say if it has been useful for me.
I am actually planning to start running MOTS-C because of this. Supposedly there is a more marked effect that is noticeable with MOTS-C use.
I have an update. After several weeks of NAD from Loyal at 100mg every 3 days with zero signs of anything
I switched to NAD from Cain I could tell a difference right away with some immediate energy boost. My goal is for longer term cognitive therapy
I have a NAD testing kit sent in to see what my blood levels are after a few weeks of use

What is your dosing? I have definitely been in the haven't noticed a damn thing on NAD+ (subq).

I personally like the injection better than the pill. I feel the effects faster of course and it seems for longer if im consistent. It helps my mood and energy levels and helps my mind stay clear.
Another update
After 3 weeks of titrating up to a dose of 100mg daily Subq for four weeks my RS sent in blood work and the subjects' NAD levels are unchanged
Disappointing outcome to the project to say the least

I spend a lot of my time at work listening to various fitness/nutrition/peptide podcasts and on one of them they were talking about how they only liked NAD+ via wearable patches. They didn't notice much from subq or oral and the IV NAD+ made them sick.

Same here NAD+ at 100mg and nothing even went over a few times to 150mg and nothing. So I gave up on it, and I have about 16 vials of it left.
Half life is super short on injections. I’ve been taking nicotinamide ribosome and after 2 months it’s been a huge gain in energy and clarity. However most NR supplements are bunk as tested by Tru Niagen and I don’t buy theirs either as it’s too expensive.
