Why this form
A couple of sprays takes seconds, so it slips into the routine you already have, at home or on the road.
If shots are a deal-breaker, the spray is the gentler way to try NAD+ under a provider's care.
Your provider can change how many sprays you use or when you take them as you report back on how you feel.

Needle-free
NAD+ nasal spray is built for busy days: ready the pump, clear your nose, spray and breathe softly, then store the bottle as labeled. It fits beside the rest of your morning routine.

Your routine
Your pharmacy label and provider set the exact dose. This is the general rhythm most people follow.
Before the first use, spray into the air a few times until a fine mist comes out, as the label describes.
Blow your nose gently so the mist reaches the lining instead of running back out.
Tip your head slightly forward, spray into one nostril and breathe in gently. A hard sniff sends it down your throat.
Keep the cap on and follow the storage line on the label. Many NAD+ products live in the refrigerator.
Storage and safety
Bring the package inside promptly and store it exactly as the pharmacy label says. NAD+ is often kept in the refrigerator, away from the freezer.
Don't leave the bottle in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill, and keep the cap on between doses.
Wipe the nozzle with a clean tissue after use and don't share the bottle with anyone.
Don't keep using it past the date on the label. Use a drug take-back site or the FDA's at-home disposal steps.
FDA: disposal of unused medicines ↗Getting started
Choose a time and fill in a short health form. Talking with a provider costs nothing.
A licensed U.S. provider goes over your history and medicines and tells you whether NAD+ nasal spray is a good fit.
If prescribed, a licensed pharmacy ships it to you, and your care team checks in on how it’s going.
The evidence
NAD+ is a coenzyme in every cell. It carries energy from the food you eat and is used by enzymes that help repair DNA. Studies show levels fall in several tissues as people age.
Researchers are testing whether raising NAD+ affects aging, energy and metabolism. Most human trials use precursors taken by mouth; studies of NAD+ given through the nose are few and small.
It has not been shown to slow aging, boost energy or sharpen focus. NAD+ has no FDA-approved use, and compounded NAD+ nasal spray is not FDA-approved or FDA-reviewed.
Safety
Your provider reviews your health and medicines first, and you can report anything along the way.
Buy safely
Four checks the FDA and pharmacy regulators recommend before buying prescription medicine online.
Real NAD+ therapy needs a prescription. Be wary of any site that sells it without a health review.
Compounded NAD+ should come from a state-licensed pharmacy, never an anonymous overseas seller.

Questions
Yes. Compounded NAD+ nasal spray is a prescription product. Through NADMedics, a licensed provider reviews your history at a free online consultation and prescribes it only if it suits you.
$199 for 1 month, $349 for 2 months or $499 for 3 months ($166/mo). Prices are indicative and confirmed after eligibility. Talking with a provider costs nothing, you don't need insurance, and you're charged only if it's prescribed.
No. NAD+ has no FDA-approved use, and the FDA doesn't check compounded medicines for safety or effectiveness before they're dispensed. A licensed U.S. pharmacy prepares it for you under a prescription.
There's no reliable timeline, because the research is limited. Some people describe changes within weeks and others notice nothing. Your provider checks in and helps you decide whether to continue.
Neither has been shown to be better. The spray avoids needles; the injection delivers a measured dose under the skin. Your provider can talk through which suits your routine and comfort.
A brief sting or tingle is common at first and often eases with time. Tell your provider if it doesn't, or if your nose stays irritated.
Share every medicine and supplement at your consultation. Your provider checks for anything that makes NAD+ a poor fit before prescribing.
