I love their NAD+ so much. I won’t use any other!

When I bought 1g NAD+ powder from science.bio, it wasn’t lyophilized. Have had a hard time dissolving it. I’m hoping the QSC NAD+ I just ordered is lyophilized… Have you experienced either one?

I haven't tried either one but for QSC powdered and lyophilized are usually listed in separate sections of their price list. I suspect, unless you specifically asked for powder you will get lyophilized. I also don't see NAD powder on their xmas sale price list so you are probably good to go. It is also likely shipping from China so it will be a minute if you recently ordered.

A minute for Tracy is a month for us, he's gonna turn 30 and I'll already be dead long ago lol

Well, I said "a minute", but I meant to imply "many minutes" probably like 30,000-40,000 🙂.
On a side note, I just received a Q US warehouse order and it took 5-6 days to receive (US address). Thats almost Nexaph speed!
Where can I find PGB? I didn't see it on the vendors list.
You need an invite link to the forum then sign up on their store front. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I found a link

They are also crypto only so if you would rather not deal with crypto you can hold off until you eventually decide you ready to learn to pay with crypto. (it took me about a month to finally bite the bullet, but I'm old)
I also find their prices to be somewhat ridiculous

If you factor in the cost of a test they are actually pretty reasonable. They test everything at least twice, once themselves and a 3rd party test and it usually includes multiple vials from different kits. They also randomly do sterility testing. I thought the same as you when I first started but now, if they have it in stock, thats where I buy.
Is anyone doing SQ injections other than the approved sites, for example, the love handles? Does it really matter for NAD+?
Right now they want $455 for r24. The last sale price I paid was $243 from asc for r20, I’m going to more or less ignore the extra 4mg here and say 2x as expensive doesn’t really justify it. I can buy two r20 for 486, spend 300 plus shipping to test one vial, and be in it for $786 plus shipping vs $910 from pgb
Pgb nad is much more reasonable

You're right, Reta pricing has declined significantly over the past couple of months and I don't think they have adjusted the price. It gets pretty good reviews from users though. You can also get in about 3 days with free shipping but still on the high-side price wise.
I would definitely buy if it were more inline, or close today, amo. I’ll keep an eye out and grab some some day

I just ordered NAD+ from QSC's Xmas sale and just received it today. It's lyophilized. Haven't tried it yet. It's not buffered so I'm waiting on some basic/alkaline solution so can raise the pH when reconstituting it. If anyone here has done this before would love to know what worked for you.

Use sodium bicarbonate to bring the PH up to about 6 (not higher).
Every NAD+ is different so there isn’t a standard amount that needs to be added. I would start by adding half of your sterile saline (or BAC water for SQ) wait until the vial is fully reconstituted, then test the PH. You want a target of 6, I have read that NAD degrades quickly at PH higher than about 6.5. If the PH is low, add a couple of units of SB then test again. Keep adding SB and testing until you achieve your target PH (keeping track of how much you added) then add the rest of your saline/BAC water, Also, remember to put a vent needle in your vial, its going to bubble a lot.
When you reconstitute your next vial the amount of SB you need to add should be about the same as the amount you added to your first vial.
edited to remove the link to Lidocaine OP was looking for Sodium Bicarb

Thank you - this is super- helpful!

Another source of Sodium Bycarbonate is Sunny Solutions on her Discord Server. She has small single use & 30 ml vials.
Can you please elaborate on what you mean by vent needle? I buffed my NAD with sodium bicarbonate and it’s very pressurized actually expels liquid after I draw from it.
So clearly, I need to vent it someway.
Thank you-

Take a clean needle and pierce the stopper to equalize the pressure inside the vial. If you only have insulin syringes, take a new one and remove the plunger before piercing.

This, or I use a needle from a luer lock syringe (without the syringe). You just need it so the air/gasses have somewhere to go.
Thanks - was wondering why my vial seemed ready to explode

How old are you? Have you looked into what NAD should do theoretically?
Honestly only 2 weeks in myself- hoping to see better energy levels and overall health/longevity (I am mid 50’s) can’t say I feel any impact that I can isolate so far, but just started.

Are you taking a methyl donor supplement with it? Like TMG.
No - was not aware this was part of the protocol- but looked at this after your post. Thanks for the tip.
I have. And it does none of those things, that I can tell

It apparently boosts energy and mental clarity. My doctor told me he has other patients who love it and suggested I might want to try it. They were doing a NAD+ IV though, not the injectable. I was placing an order with QSC and I saw they had it for only $65 so I added it to my list. Will try it once my sodium bicarbonate solution to arrives and share the results.
