NAD+ SubQ Injections: Dosing and Managing the Burn

With a 100 mg per ml mix, 80 units would actually be 80 mg, not micrograms. Most start around 5 mg then move to 25 mg. Jumping straight to 80 mg would probably sting a lot.

I've used it long enough that I've gotten used to it. I mix at 500 mg per ml and inject 20-22 units. The sting is barely noticeable now. Anything over about 110 mg in one day I split with an hour between shots.

Start with 25 mg for the first week to adjust, then begin the loading phase. I keep mine at 100 mg per ml and just push it in slowly.

Remember mcg versus mg. For the burn I just added more BAC water. I ran 100 mg daily Monday through Friday for six weeks with weekends off. My mix was 500 mg in 5 ml so each shot was 1 ml.

Starting today at 25 mg to check my reaction. I had a 150 mg shot at a clinic before with no problem, but this is my first time doing it myself and it's been a while.

At first it burned for me too. Moving to the thigh helped. Now I can do 115 units without thinking about it. It should get easier with time.

Is your NAD+ the buffered kind? I mix a 500 mg vial of buffered NAD+ with NaCl BAC and it doesn't burn for me at all. Results vary though.

I'm at 50 mg now with a 166 mg per ml mix. It's a little spicy but switching to half-inch needles and going a bit deeper made it less noticeable.

Talking only in units without the concentration is unclear. I'm following the 14-week protocol, starting at 25 mg then 50 mg then 100 mg. I began with 500 mg in 10 ml so 50 units was 25 mg. Now I use 500 mg in 5 ml so 100 units is 100 mg. Only using units without knowing the mix ratio gets confusing.

I'm also on the mito protocol and just finished week two of SS-31. My NAD+ is mixed at 200 mg per ml, so 2.5 ml BAC for a 500 mg vial. Twice a week I take 50 units for 100 mg total.

I also mix at 200 mg per ml to keep shots at 50 units. There's a little burn that fades quickly. How much it stings varies a lot between people.

Subq NAD+ doses are usually 50-100 mg. Everyone reacts differently. I didn't feel burning at 50-75 mg but did get a head rush. When I gave someone 100 mg they said it burned so we dropped back to 75 mg. Find the lowest effective amount that works for you.

Update: today I went to 120 mg. I switched from refillable pens with 32 g needles to a 1 ml syringe with a 31 g needle and moved from abdomen to thigh. It's still a bit spicy but now tolerable. The pen was convenient but I couldn't control the speed as well; the syringe lets me click one unit at a time which also helped.

Is the product listed as Pink H Mixing Base the NaCl version?
