Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every living cell and plays a key role in energy metabolism and cellular repair. Injectable NAD+ is a compounded prescription medication designed for intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SubQ) administration under the supervision of a licensed clinician. It is used in certain clinical settings where additional metabolic or mitochondrial support is desired, as determined appropriate by a healthcare provider.
