NAD+ / NMN

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide for cellular energy support.

What it does

What NAD+ / NMN is and why doctors prescribe it.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production and DNA-repair signaling. Doctors prescribe injectable NAD+ as part of longevity-program protocols, energy/fatigue workup adjunct regimens, and select clinical contexts. NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a precursor that's also compounded.

How it works

Mechanism in plain English.

NAD+ functions as a redox cofactor in the electron transport chain (mitochondrial ATP production) and as a substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, and other enzymes involved in DNA repair, gene-expression regulation, and circadian biology. NAD+ levels decline with age, and replacement is being studied for metabolic and longevity outcomes.

How long it's been studied

Research history.

NAD+ has been studied since the early 1900s (Harden and Young, 1906). Sirtuin biology and NAD+ longevity research expanded substantially in the 2000s-2010s. Clinical trials of NAD+ precursors (nicotinamide riboside, NMN) are ongoing. Compounded injectable NAD+ is dispensed under 503A.

Dosing

Clinical context for the prescribing doctor.

Doctor-prescribed. Injectable NAD+ is typically dispensed in the 100–500 mg per dose range for SC or IM administration; IV protocols use higher doses over longer infusions. Oral NMN is dispensed in 250–500 mg capsules. Your doctor selects route and frequency.

This page is informational, not a dispensing aid. NAD+ / NMN is dispensed only on a patient-specific prescription written by a licensed doctor for an identified patient. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and should not be evaluated using branded-drug trial data. Availability varies by state and prescribed medication.

How to access NAD+ / NMN through RonanRx

Three paths.

Doctors can prescribe compounded NAD+ / NMN for individual patients through RonanRx. Patients with a doctor can sign up to receive their prescription. Patients without a doctor can learn how the referral works.
