What is it?
Listed on peptide invoices as injectable NAD+. IV/IM NAD+ is not an approved general wellness medicine in the way it is marketed. Not sold as a peptide vial here.
Mechanism of action
Redox cofactor and sirtuin/PARP substrate.
Essential biochemistry; that does not validate unregulated injections.
What is it being studied for?
- Infusion clinics (low-quality evidence), precursor trials
Investigational findings are not proven clinical benefits unless an authority has labelled that indication.
Evidence level
Overall human evidence grade: C · Limited or early human evidence
Human research
Oral precursors have more trial data than boutique NAD+ drips.
Preclinical research
Animal, cell and in-vitro findings are listed separately from human effects.
Foundational biochemistry.
Doses reported in published research
This section does not provide personalised medical dosing. Values are those reported in papers or protocols. Animal mg/kg doses are not converted to human doses.
Doses reported in human studies
Insufficient reliable evidence identified.
Preclinical / animal study dosing
Insufficient reliable evidence identified.
Pharmacokinetics
Reliable human pharmacokinetic data were not identified for this encyclopaedia entry, or are limited to product information for approved presentations.
Safety
Infusion reactions reported anecdotally; product quality varies.
Unknowns. Absence of a published harm signal is not evidence of safety.
Contraindications. Not a peptide-shop product.
Regulatory status
Not approved as a compounded anti-ageing injection in this model.
Educational for injectable NAD+. The shop sells oral NAD+ tablets and transdermal NAD+ patches — not NAD+ injections.
