NAD+ Dosage: Injection Figures, Sources and Units per Vial

No NAD+ injection has an FDA label. This page reports the trial, registry, clinic and vendor figures with dates, and works the units per vial size.

NAD+ has more clinic pages than trials. The search term "nad dosage" spans capsules, drips and the injectable vial, and the figures on those pages run from 10 mg to 1,000 mg without a label to anchor any of them. This page reports what can be checked, in the order of how well it can be checked, and then works the units for the four vial sizes the site's calculator uses.

NAD+ is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme in every human cell, made from niacin, nicotinamide riboside or tryptophan. It is not a peptide; it sits in this catalogue because it is sold and reconstituted through the same channel. Medibact's NAD+ guide covers the molecule, the precursors and the evidence; this page stays with figures. The dosage hub lists every compound's page, and Peptifact's NAD dosage page grades the same sources from a journalist's angle.

The gap between the rows is the finding. The two trials that state a dose used 10 mg a day and a single 100 mg injection. The clinic and vendor figures run to 1,000 mg per session. Nothing in the indexed literature tests the clinic schedule, and the 2026 review says so in general terms.

Concentration is the number that changes

Compounded NAD+ is dispensed at 100 mg/mL, and the trial registration prepared it at 50 mg/mL, so a "50 mg" figure is 0.5 mL in one and 1 mL in the other. Research vials at 1 to 3 mL are mostly more concentrated than either: a 500 mg vial at 2 mL is 250 mg/mL, and a 1,000 mg vial at 1 mL is 1,000 mg/mL, ten times the clinic strength. This site's calculator note makes a point that belongs here too: scaling water with vial size leaves the concentration unchanged, so a bigger vial with proportionally more water draws exactly the same volume for a given amount; only less water per milligram makes a draw smaller.

Units per dose at each research-vial size

The table takes each of the four vial sizes at 1, 2 and 3 mL, states the concentration, and converts three figures from the record, 25 mg and 50 mg (the clinic titration steps) and 100 mg (the registered trial dose and the clinic ceiling), into U-100 syringe units, where 100 units is 1 mL (MedlinePlus, read 2026-09-18); the site's insulin syringe units page covers the syringe reading itself. The 10 mg heart-failure dose is a tenth of the 100 mg column at every row.

Vial Water added Concentration 25 mg 50 mg 100 mg
100 mg 1 mL 100 mg/mL 25 50 100
100 mg 2 mL 50 mg/mL 50 100 200 (>1 syringe)
100 mg 3 mL 33.3 mg/mL 75 150 (>1 syringe) 300 (>1 syringe)
500 mg 1 mL 500 mg/mL 5 10 20
500 mg 2 mL 250 mg/mL 10 20 40
500 mg 3 mL 167 mg/mL 15 30 60
750 mg 1 mL 750 mg/mL 3.3 6.7 13.3
750 mg 2 mL 375 mg/mL 6.7 13.3 26.7
750 mg 3 mL 250 mg/mL 10 20 40
1,000 mg 1 mL 1,000 mg/mL 2.5 5 10
1,000 mg 2 mL 500 mg/mL 5 10 20
1,000 mg 3 mL 333 mg/mL 7.5 15 30

The 100 mg vial is the only size at which the compounded strength appears, at 1 mL, and the only size at which the trial's preparation appears, at 2 mL; every other row is more concentrated than anything in the clinical record. The infusion figures of 250 to 1,000 mg are diluted into a bag in every source that describes them and are not shown as syringe draws. The NAD+ calculator works any combination entered; the site's NAD+ reconstitution page covers water volumes per vial and the mixing steps as references describe them.

What the figures omit

The heart-failure trial figure carries a population, a route, a daily schedule and a seven-day duration, chosen for a disease. The registered 100 mg figure carries a route and a single occasion; its purpose is to measure how much the injection hurts. The pharmacokinetic figure carries a rate and a duration in healthy adults and no repeat. The clinic and vendor figures carry a route and a frequency but no population, no endpoint and no trial; the titration ceiling on the clinic page, 50 mg per injection in 24 hours, is that clinic's rule and appears nowhere else in the record. None of the rows says what happens after the 4-to-6-week cycles vendor pages describe, because no study followed one.

What this page does not do

This page reports figures with their sources and dates and converts them into syringe units at the site's vial sizes. It does not recommend a dose, a route or a frequency for anyone, does not say whether the clinic schedule is safe, and does not turn the vendor range into advice. The mixing steps and the storage of a mixed vial are the store's topics: how to reconstitute peptides and how to store peptides on medibact.com.

Frequently asked questions

What is the NAD injection dosage?

There is no labelled dose, because no NAD+ injection is FDA-approved; a DailyMed search on 2026-09-18 found none. The checkable figures are 100 mg in 2 mL by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous-push injection in a registered tolerability trial (NCT06919328), and 10 mg a day intravenously for seven days in a 2026 heart-failure trial. Clinic and vendor pages state 10 to 100 mg subcutaneously, 50 to 100 mg intramuscularly and 100 to 1,000 mg by infusion. Each is reported here with its source and date.

How many units is 100 mg of NAD+ on an insulin syringe?

It depends on the concentration. At 100 mg/mL, which clinic pages describe for compounded NAD+ and which a 100 mg vial reaches with 1 mL, 100 mg is 1 mL, or 100 units, a full U-100 syringe. At 50 mg/mL (a 100 mg vial with 2 mL, the trial's preparation) it is 200 units, two syringes. A 500 mg vial with 2 mL is 250 mg/mL and 100 mg is 40 units; a 1,000 mg vial with 2 mL is 500 mg/mL and 100 mg is 20 units. The table on this page works every combination.

What is the NAD protocol on clinic pages?

The clinic page read on 2026-09-18 describes a titration: 10 mg subcutaneously once a day in the first week, then 25 mg two to three times a week, then 50 to 100 mg two to three times a week, with a stated ceiling of 50 mg per injection in any 24 hours during titration; intramuscular 50 to 100 mg weekly; and infusions of 100 to 250 mg rising to 500 to 1,000 mg. It is a clinic convention. No trial in the indexed literature tested that schedule, and the two trials that state a dose used 10 mg a day and a single 100 mg injection.

What did the NAD+ infusion study actually give?

The 2019 pilot infused NAD+ at 3 micromoles per minute for 6 hours in healthy adults and sampled plasma and urine. At NAD+'s molecular weight of 663.4, 3 micromoles a minute over 360 minutes is about 1.08 millimoles, roughly 0.7 g, which is this page's conversion rather than the paper's own figure. The abstract's main finding was that plasma NAD+ did not change for the first two hours and that urinary excretion of NAD+ and its methylated metabolite rose by six hours, which the authors read as rapid uptake or breakdown.

Is there a NAD dosage chart in units?

The table on this page is one, for the four vial sizes the site sells a guide for: 100, 500, 750 and 1,000 mg at 1, 2 and 3 mL. At the vendor page's own preparation, a 500 mg vial with 3 mL (167 mg/mL), 25 mg is 15 units, 50 mg is 30 units and 100 mg is 60 units. At the trial's 50 mg/mL, 25 mg is 50 units and 50 mg is 100 units. The calculator works any combination entered.

Why is NAD+ dosed in milligrams when most peptides are dosed in micrograms?

Because it is not a peptide and the amounts used are a thousand times larger. NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every cell in millimolar quantities, and the clinic figures of 50 to 1,000 mg reflect an attempt to raise a large existing pool, not to trigger a receptor. That is also why the vials are 100 to 1,000 mg. The arithmetic is the same as for any compound, vial amount divided by water volume, but the answers land in milligrams per unit rather than micrograms.
