Why a spray rather than a tablet, how it compares with the injection, and what the research actually supports. For education only. Talk to your clinician before changing anything.
NAD+ nasal spray is a needle-free way to take NAD+, the coenzyme your cells use for energy metabolism. It is prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies and is not FDA-approved. A licensed clinician reviews your health history and decides whether a spray or injection form is appropriate for you.

02Why a spray instead of a tablet?
NAD+ is a large, fragile molecule, and swallowed forms are largely broken down before reaching the bloodstream. Non-oral routes are used to avoid that first pass. Whether any particular route delivers a meaningful amount in humans is not well established.

03Is the spray as effective as the injection?
That comparison has not been established, and we will not claim it. Human data on intranasal NAD+ is limited. People generally choose the spray because it avoids a needle, and your clinician will be straightforward with you about what the evidence does and does not show.

04Does it work?
Human research on NAD+ supplementation is early and limited, and outcomes are not established or guaranteed for a compounded preparation. Anyone promising you a specific result is telling you more than the evidence supports.

05How do I use it?
As directed on the label dispensed with your prescription, typically a set number of sprays per nostril per day. Follow those directions rather than a dosing schedule found online.
06Does it need refrigeration?
Follow the storage instructions dispensed with your prescription; compounded preparations vary by pharmacy and formulation. If the label says refrigerate, refrigerate it, and ask your care team if anything is unclear.
07Can it be prescribed online?
A licensed clinician can prescribe it after reviewing your intake and determining that treatment is medically appropriate, and a licensed pharmacy dispenses it. Availability varies by state and pharmacy, and an intake is not a guarantee of a prescription.
