How often should you take NAD+

Frequency never arrives on its own. It comes bolted to a route and a dose, and then to a billing cycle that was chosen by a business. This page will not tell you how often to take NAD+ — that is a clinical decision and this site runs no clinical review. It will tell you how to read the cadence a seller has already picked for you, and how to tell whether it is a medical schedule or a subscription.

Each route arrives with its own cadence

Intravenous

Sold by the session, and very often by the package — a block of sessions bought up front at a lower per-session figure. The package is the cadence: buying six sessions is committing to six occasions before you have been to one.

Subcutaneous

Sold by the month, with a number of doses baked into that month. That dose count is the denominator of the whole price. A month is not a quantity; a month of eight doses is.

Nasal

Sold as a bottle per month, and on 15 of the 24 sellers here with a nasal row, with no stated milligrams per spray and no stated sprays per day. There is no cadence to read, because there is no unit. The board prints dose not stated rather than a midpoint, because a midpoint would be this site inventing the number the seller declined to publish.

Oral precursor

Daily by construction — it is a capsule, and the bottle count sets the month. Worth restating that NMN and NR are precursors the body converts rather than NAD+ itself, so a daily capsule cadence is not comparable to a weekly injection cadence in any useful way. Different molecule, different question.

The arithmetic, when it is possible

Where a seller states milligrams per dose and doses per cycle, you can divide and get a real per-dose cost, and then compare that number across sellers and even across routes. Where either figure is missing you cannot, and no amount of confidence in the presentation changes that. The board on the home page is built to make the missing half visible rather than to paper over it.

Two failure modes to watch for. A price that covers a prepay package being read as a recurring rate, which makes the seller look far cheaper per month than the standing price. And a “from” figure — an advertised floor, usually attached to the smallest dose or the longest commitment — being read as the price you will pay.

Clinical cadence and billing cadence are not the same thing

This is the part worth knowing if you have not seen the inside of one of these businesses. Subscription intervals are set by what retains customers and what a fulfillment run costs, and they are then presented in clinical language. That does not make a given interval wrong. It does mean the interval is not evidence of anything, and that “our protocol” on a pricing page is a marketing term until someone shows you where it comes from.

Whether any particular schedule is appropriate, or whether one interval is better than another for any purpose, is a clinical question that would need real sources to answer and this site does not have them. [needs citation] Nothing here should be read as a schedule.

What to check on the seller’s page

• Doses per cycle, stated as a number. Not “monthly supply.” A count.
• Milligrams per dose. If it is absent, the cadence cannot be evaluated and neither can the price.
• Whether the figure is a rate, a floor, or a prepay total. Three different things, routinely printed in the same typeface.
• Who sets the interval. A named prescriber after a real consult, or a default in a checkout flow.
• What changing it costs. Whether you can pause, skip or drop to a lower frequency without losing the price you signed up at.

This is not medical advice. Nobody here is a clinician, this site runs no clinical review, and none of it should be read as a recommendation to take or avoid anything. Decisions about NAD+ belong with a licensed clinician who has your history in front of them.

The other 15

• NAD+ injection side effects

  Which questions are worth asking depends on the route, and on whether the seller states a dose at all.

• NAD+ IV vs injection

  A per-session price and a per-month price are not comparable until you have the milligrams for both.

• The nine routes

  NAD+ is sold nine ways and a third of the sellers on this roster name none of them. The whole census, both denominators, and what our reading had to move.

• “Route not stated”

  The second largest group on the roster is the sellers who did not say. Some wrote nothing; others wrote a sentence that still is not a route. Every one of those sentences.

• Sublingual NAD+ and precursors

  Two different molecules are sold under one word. Our own reading pass filed 18 of 26 on the wrong side of it before review.

• What a NAD+ price includes

  Most figures never say what is in the number, and whether a seller tells you depends on the route. What this roster can say, and the one thing it cannot.

• NAD+ price by route

  Is the spray cheaper than the injection? Fifteen sellers price both, and they do not agree with each other.

• Sellers that sell NAD+ more than one way

  A brand offering NAD+ two ways is offering two purchases at two prices. How many do, which routes travel together, and how many never say.

• Who states the milligrams

  A price without a dose is not comparable. The nasal sellers state milligrams more often than the injection sellers do, and the routeless figures state them least.

• How a route is billed

  Not one figure for the two routes that need a clinic is a standing monthly rate. Sublingual is the weekly route. What kind of number each route publishes.

• When the URL names a route

  A seller's own address is the first route claim a buyer meets. “Nasal” meant nasal every time. “Oral” never once meant the precursor a reader would expect.

• Pages that publish no price

  The most common outcome of opening a NAD+ product page is not a number. What the silent ones did instead, and the one signal that predicted them in advance.

• Prices in the markup

  Most NAD+ pages carry dollar amounts you are not shown. Why that is a reason to open the toggles and not an accusation — with the control that bounds it.

• The price behind the intake

  “They don’t publish a price” is only honest if you clicked the button. Thirty-three sellers were followed one click past the page. Almost none of it was a price.

• Pages that price two routes

  Where a spray and a needle are sold in one grid, a route choice looks like a price choice. Which routes get sold side by side, and how deep it goes.
