The Basics
What Is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body. Your cells use it to turn food into energy and to support many basic processes, including DNA maintenance.
Research shows NAD+ levels tend to decline with age, which is why it has become one of the most talked-about topics in healthy aging and longevity. It's often discussed alongside peptides such as MOTS-c, a mitochondrial peptide, and Epitalon. Some people ask about NAD+ for mental energy too; see also Semax.
Regulatory Status
Is NAD+ Therapy Legal and FDA-Approved?
- NAD+ may be compounded by licensed 503A pharmacies with a patient-specific prescription.
- Compounded NAD+ is not FDA-approved and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness.
- NAD+ is different from oral supplements such as NR (nicotinamide riboside) and NMN, which are sold over the counter.
Because NAD+ therapy is prescribed, it should be overseen by a licensed provider who reviews your health history first.
The Science
What Does the Research on NAD+ Show?
Here's an honest summary of where the research stands:
| Area of research | What has been studied | Strength of evidence |
|---|---|---|
| NAD+ and aging | Studies showing NAD+ levels decline with age in animals and people | Well established |
| Raising NAD+ in animals | Animal studies on metabolism, energy and aging-related processes | Preclinical (animal) |
| Oral precursors (NR, NMN) | Human trials showing they can raise NAD+ levels, with mixed results on health outcomes | Human data; results mixed |
| Injected or IV NAD+ | Few published human studies | Limited |
We describe NAD+ as an option your provider may consider for healthy-aging and energy goals, not as a proven treatment for any condition.
Transparency
What We Don't Know Yet About NAD+
A trustworthy provider should be as clear about the unknowns as the possibilities. With NAD+, the open questions include:
- Long-term effects of prescribed NAD+ haven't been studied in large trials.
- How much injected NAD+ reaches your cells is still being researched.
- Whether raising NAD+ improves health outcomes in people is not yet established.
- Side effects such as flushing, nausea or discomfort can occur, especially if given too quickly.
Your provider will go through all of this with you, so you can make an informed decision.
