A Guide on Self-Administering NAD+

Getting Ready

• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
• Gather your supplies. You will typically need:
  • Your NAD+ vial
  • A new syringe and needle
  • Alcohol pads
• Choose your injection site. For subcutaneous injections, common areas include:
  • The abdomen (avoid the 2-inch area directly around the belly button)
  • The thigh
  • The upper arm
• Clean your chosen injection site with an alcohol pad and allow it to air dry.

Preparing the Syringe

• Remove the cap from the NAD+ vial.
• Clean the vial’s rubber stopper with a new alcohol pad.
• Draw air into the syringe equal to the amount of NAD+ you plan to inject. This helps equalize pressure in the vial.
• Insert the needle into the vial and push the plunger to inject the air.
• Invert the vial so the needle is submerged in the fluid.
• Draw the desired amount of NAD+ into the syringe.
• Remove any bubbles by gently tapping the syringe so the bubbles rise to the top. Press the plunger slightly until the bubbles are expelled.

Administering the Injection

• Pinch the skin at your chosen injection site.
• Hold the syringe like a dart and insert the needle into the skin at a 45–90° angle.
• Release the pinched skin once the needle is inserted, then slowly depress the plunger to inject the NAD+ solution.
• Withdraw the needle from the skin.
• Dispose of the used syringe and needle in a sharps container.

Providing Aftercare

• Apply a bandage to the injection site if needed.
• If you experience any adverse reactions—such as nausea, vomiting, rapid heartbeat, or difficulty breathing—seek medical attention immediately.
