NAD+ FAQ’s

No – you should not take NAD+ if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. There aren’t enough human studies involving pre-natal or antenatal women. With no reliable safety data, the effect of supplementing NAD+ on a developing foetus are unknown. The same is true for breast-fed babies; there’s not enough data to ensure safety with their growth and development.

Yes – NAD+ micro injectables are entirely safe when used correctly. They are designed with safety in mind. They use a similar technology to insulin injections, which have provided safe, secure, and sterile at-home usage since 1983.

However, as with any injectable, at home NAD+ injections and NAD pens can pose a risk if you don’t follow the correct protocol. Most importantly, never share your pen or re-use micro-needles. It’s also essential that you use the alcohol wipes provided, as instructed. If you need any further support, use the below guides or get in touch with our registererd nurse, Georgina.

How to use the NAD Injection Kit
How to use the NAD Pen

For those who don’t have any NAD+ contraindications, yes, it is safe to use NAD+ on a daily basis.
However, we recommend following the below schedule:

Initial phase:
One 25ml injection per day for the first three days

Maintenance phase:
A single 25ml injection every two days thereafter

This routine will help you achieve strong baseline NAD+ levels in the short term and maintain consistently high levels going forward. If you are already supplementing NAD, we recommend going straight into the maintenance phase and administering NAD+ once every two days.

Yes, NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is legal in the UK. It does not yet have medicinal status but remains a legal supplement. Until more human trials and clinical studies have been completed, it will keep it’s supplement status.

While it might be tempting to share the benefits of your NAD+ AT HOME Kit with a friend, we strongly advise against it.

Sharing any components of your NAD+ supplement kit, such as the vial or micro injectables, could lead to cross-contamination and a decrease in effectiveness.

To ensure the best possible outcome for both you and your friend, it’s a great idea to each order your own NAD+ AT HOME Kit. That way, you can both experience the potential advantages while sticking to the recommended guidelines, all within a safe and hygienic environment.

If you happen to take more than the suggested amount, don’t worry! The NAD+ in your vial is designed with safety in mind, containing levels that your body can handle. However, it’s always best to stick to the recommended dosage for optimal results.

In case you do take extra, keep in mind that your body may not effectively absorb or break down the excess NAD supplement. While it’s generally not a cause for concern, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any doubts or experience any unusual symptoms.

The majority of individuals do not encounter any adverse effects from using NAD+ AT HOME.

Should you experience any sensitivity after using the micro-injectables, consider selecting a different site on your body for the next injection. As with any side effect, if symptoms continue, cease use and get in touch with our team.

NAD+ syringes and pens are intended for subcutaneous injections, which involve administering the injection just under the skin, into fatty tissue.

We suggest using areas like the stomach, hips, or buttocks. To administer, pinch the skin tightly between your finger and thumb with one hand, and with the syringe in your other hand, inject at a 45-degree angle.

It’s important to rotate the injection site each time to avoid skin irritation. It’s normal to occasionally experience a bruise or a small bump at the injection site; simply make sure to inject in a different area for your next dose.

We typically recommend the morning so that any increases to energy are in sync with your circadian rhythm and don’t disturb your sleep. However, there’s no problem if you’d prefer to do it at lunchtime, early evening, or even before a workout.

The most important thing is to remain consistent. By sticking to the same time each day, you’ll help your body acclimatise to it’s new routine and keep your many bodily rhythms in sync and working efficiently.

• Subcutaneous Use: The micro-injectables, both in the injection kit and the NAD pen, are specifically intended for subcutaneous use (just under the skin into the fatty layer), not for intravenous or intramuscular use.
  
• Rotate Sites: Always select a different site for each injection to minimise potential discomfort or irritation
• Follow Instructions: Adhere to the complete instructions provided with your kit or pen for safe and effective use.
• Consult a Professional: If you experience any persistent irritation or have underlying health conditions, consult a healthcare professional for advice. 

There are multiple methods for ridding air bubbles from your vial.

1. Gently tap the vial: Hold the vial between your thumb and index finger, and gently tap it with your other hand. This will help the air bubbles rise to the top of the liquid.

2. Flick the vial: Another option is to flick the vial lightly with your finger. This can also help dislodge any stubborn air bubbles and make them rise to the surface.

3. Swirl the vial: Gently swirl the vial in a circular motion to encourage the bubbles to rise to the top.

4.Let the vial sit: If the bubbles are persistent, allow the vial to sit undisturbed for a short period of time. The bubbles should gradually rise to the surface on their own.

There are multiple ways to make getting the last of your liquid out of the vial.

1. Tilt and Swirl: Tilt the vial slightly so the liquid gathers in one corner. Gently swirl it to help gather the remaining liquid towards the opening.

2. Use of Syringe: Make sure the needle is correctly positioned in the area where the liquid is pooled. You might need to tilt the vial as you draw up the liquid.

3. Tap the Vial: Gently tap the sides of the vial to move the liquid towards the bottom or the syringe entry point. This can help consolidate the liquid and make it easier to draw.

4. Air Bubble Technique: Insert the syringe needle into the vial, then push a little air into the vial. This increases the pressure inside, which can help force the last of the liquid into the syringe when you invert the vial.

The injection can sting sometimes & bruises are not uncommon. Try removing the NAD+ from the fridge for 30 minutes beforehand as it can sting more when it’s cold.

Try various injection sites and a new one each time and a 45-degree angle can help. We hear frequently from customers that 1 day it can sting and feel a little sore afterwards & other days it’s painless and sting-free.

If you develop a bruise after an injection, fear not. Employ these helpful strategies to bring you quick relief:

If you feel pain immediately after injecting, apply gentle pressure on the site to help prevent the development of a bruise. Do not massage or rub the injection site, as this will make the bruise worse. Treat the affected area with ice. Do not inject the NAD+ supplement on or near the site until the bruise has healed completely. If the pain is significant, contact your doctor and medical team.

No worries if you happen to run out of injectables before your vial is empty! Ideally, using the recommended amount of NAD+ should help both components last the same duration. However, if you do find yourself in need of more injectables, simply give our friendly sales team a call, and they’ll be more than happy to assist you with your requirements.

If you happen to drop your micro-injectable on the floor, it’s best not to use it, as it may have been contaminated. Just dispose of the dropped micro injectable in the provided sharps bin and grab a fresh one to ensure cleanliness and safety.

Dispose of any used items, such as your empty vial and needles, in the designated sharps bin. When disposing of needles, it’s important to be cautious and ensure that they are not sticking out of the bin. This helps ensure a clean and responsible process.
