Product Overview
NAD+ is the dinucleotide coenzyme that shuttles electrons in oxidation and reduction reactions and serves as the substrate for sirtuins and PARP. Generic Peptides supplies it freeze dried in four vials: 100 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg and 750 mg. There is no trade name on the label beyond the abbreviation, and no solvent inside the box.
This is a support product, not a hormone and not an anabolic. Insulin-like growth factor, testosterone and the pituitary have nothing to do with it; the mechanism sits in cellular energy handling and DNA repair. Tissue concentrations of the coenzyme decline over a lifetime, and that single observation is what turned a laboratory reagent into a longevity shelf item. What the sources do not offer is a validated human schedule, so the arithmetic below is dilution maths rather than a treatment plan.
Two practical points follow. First, nothing about this vial is injectable by a fixed recipe: how much solvent goes in decides the concentration, and the vial strength only sets the ceiling. Second, the tolerability records that exist come from slow intravenous infusions in clinical settings, not from subcutaneous use of a research vial, which is a gap worth stating plainly rather than papering over. Buyers comparing support-line items usually start from where the compound acts: Glutathione covers oxidative stress, and Epitalon covers the pineal-side research tradition.
Dilution Arithmetic
Because no dose in the sources maps onto this vial, the only reproducible numbers are concentrations after mixing. The table works them out per vial size on a U-100 scale, where 0.1 ml equals ten units.
| Vial | Solvent | Result | Ten units on U-100 |
| 100 mg | 2 ml | 50 mg/ml | 5 mg |
| 250 mg | 5 ml | 50 mg/ml | 5 mg |
| 500 mg | 5 ml | 100 mg/ml | 10 mg |
| 750 mg | 5 ml | 150 mg/ml | 15 mg |
| Rate of delivery | Slow | Slower is better tolerated | Rapid delivery is the trigger for most complaints |
| Female | - | No separate female schedule | The sources contain no verified female protocol (not confirmed) |
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water run down the inside wall of the vial, then swirl. Shaking a dinucleotide solution is a way of buying foam, not speed. Storage follows the usual protein-style rule: the powder wants 2-8 C away from light, with a freezer for long-term holding, and the mixed solution belongs in the fridge.
Suggested Protocols
NAD+ is described alongside other longevity and recovery compounds, so the pairings below are shelf logic rather than tested combinations. No published work has run any of them together.
Sleep-and-recovery shelves sit next to this one as well: DSIP belongs to the sleep research tradition and Thymalin to immune-line work. Where the question is fat mass rather than cellular energy, Adipotide and Somatropin are the better comparisons in this catalogue, because both have human data of one kind or another behind them.
What to Expect
- Flushing during delivery. A warm or red face is the leading observation in infusion records and it fades when the rate comes down.
- Chest tightness or heaviness. Reported as a pressure-like feeling that resolves on slowing the delivery; if it persists, the infusion is stopped.
- Nausea. Tied to pushing the material in quickly and to a rapid bolus in particular, so the pace is the variable to change.
- Headache and fatigue. Both are frequent enough in clinical accounts to be treated as expected, not as a red flag on their own.
- Soreness where the needle went in. Local and mechanical, managed by rotating sites and using clean technique.
- Nothing dramatic, ever. The proposed mechanism is energy metabolism and DNA repair; no source promises a fast visible change.
- Rate beats quantity. In a 2026 pilot, pronounced symptoms stretched a delivery to 97 minutes on average against 37 minutes for nicotinamide riboside, which is the practical price of tolerability.
Side Effects and Management
The complaint list is short and mostly procedural, because the dose-limiting factor here is speed of delivery rather than total amount.
No Post-Cycle Therapy and What to Watch Instead
There is no recovery protocol to run, in the strict sense, because NAD+ has no hormonal action to recover from. A SERM belongs to cycles that suppress natural testosterone production, and this compound suppresses nothing.
The framing worth keeping is the least exciting one: NAD+ is not an approved medicine, and a clinic selling it is selling a service under no indication that a regulator has ever reviewed. Handled as a research material with careful dilution and slow delivery, the risk profile in the available records looks mild; handled as a shortcut, the records say nothing at all.
