NAD+

What is it?

NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell and is essential for energy production, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and healthy aging. Natural NAD+ levels decline with age, which may contribute to fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, and age-related disease.

Key Benefits

• Supports energy production and mitochondrial health

• Promotes healthy aging and cellular repair

• May improve cognitive function and mental clarity

• Supports metabolism and recovery

• Helps support cardiovascular and immune health

Possible Side Effects

Usually mild:

• Nausea

• Diarrhea

• Headache

• Bruising

• Increased fatigue temporarily after dosing

High doses or excessive use may increase risk of:

• Liver strain

• Kidney issues

• Vascular complications

Important Warnings

Use caution if:

• Diabetic or insulin resistant

• Taking blood pressure medications

• Using anticoagulants

• Taking antidepressants

NAD+ 500mg Protocol

Reconstitution

Mix:

• 500mg vial + 5mL (500 units) BAC water

Standard Protocol

Same dosing structure as 700mg protocol:

• Start low and increase gradually based on tolerance

Suggested Stacks

• Resveratrol or Pterostilbene for longevity support

• NMN or NR for NAD+ support between doses

• Melatonin with caution due to increased fatigue potential

• Glutathione for antioxidant and detox support
