NAD+ Injections are a coenzyme found in all cells. Interest in NAD+ injection protocols has grown as clinicians develop wellness and longevity programs for their patients. Based on patient needs, NAD+ may be prescribed for intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), or subcutaneous (SubQ) administration. Below youāll find a full NAD dosage chart and a walkthrough of NAD dosage per day, depending on how itās administered.
Important: NAD+ dosing is individualized and will vary depending on patient needs. Use this chart as an educational overview and follow the plan created with your licensed healthcare professional. This chart, and this blog, are for informational purposes only, and not intended to substitute or replace medical advice.
Quick NAD+ Dosage Chart (IV, IM, SubQ)
Concentration:

| Route | Starting / Typical Dose | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| IV infusion | 250 mg (2.5 mL) in 500 mL NS over 2 hours | Weekly | |
| IV infusion | 500 mg (5 mL) in 1000 mL NS over 4 hours | Weekly | Extended infusion time for patient monitoring |
| IM injection | 50 mg (0.5 mL or 50 units) | Up to 3Ć/week | Per clinical direction, this will be spaced out across the week. |
| SubQ Injection | Start 30 units (0.3 mL) daily for ā„1 week | Daily | If desired after the first week, increase to 50 units (0.5 mL) from MondayāFriday only. |

NAD Dosage Per Day: What That Looks Like
Because the IV and IM plans are weekly, āper dayā typically applies to the SubQ route of administration:
- Start: 30āÆunits daily for at least one week.
- With 100āÆmg/mL, 0.3āÆmL = 30āÆmg (because 100āÆmgāÆĆāÆ0.3āÆmLāÆ=āÆ30āÆmg).
- Over 7 days, thatās 30āÆmg/day Ć 7 = 210āÆmg/week.
- Then (if desired): 50āÆunits Monday-Friday only.
- With 100āÆmg/mL, 0.5āÆmL = 50āÆmg (100āÆmgāÆĆāÆ0.5āÆmLāÆ=āÆ50āÆmg).
- Over the workweek, thatās 50āÆmg/day Ć 5 = 250āÆmg/week (with weekends off).
For context (weekly totals):
- IM up to 3Ć/week: 50āÆmg Ć 3 = 150āÆmg/week.
- IV (weekly): 250āÆmg/week or 500āÆmg/week, depending on the infusion length/volume.
Your prescriber may keep you at the initial daily SubQ level longer or step you up, depending on your goals and how you feel during and after administrations.
How to Read the Chart: mL, āUnits,ā and mg
- The guide lists āunitsā alongside mL for syringe readability (e.g., 50āÆunits = 0.5āÆmL, 30āÆunits = 0.3āÆmL).
- With 100āÆmg/mL, you can convert volume to dose quickly:
- 0.3āÆmL ā 30āÆmg
- 0.5āÆmL ā 50āÆmg
- 2.5āÆmL ā 250āÆmg
- 5āÆmL ā 500āÆmg
Choosing a Route (IV vs IM vs SubQ)
- IV is often selected for structured sessions in clinic settings.
- IM up to 3Ć/week provides less frequent, moderate dosing.
- SubQ daily enables smaller, more frequent amounts with the ability to increase after the first week, depending on clinical direction.
- Check our guide on how to give a SubQ injection
Your clinician will consider your schedule, tolerance during and after administration, and your program goals when recommending route and frequency.
