Question 1

Is NAD+ a peptide?

Accepted Answer

No. NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme. It is included in peptide therapy protocols due to its injectable format and complementary role in cellular repair and longevity pathways.

Question 2

Why are IV infusions so slow?

Accepted Answer

Rapid NAD+ infusion causes uncomfortable side effects (nausea, chest pressure). Slow infusion over 2-6 hours is standard for tolerability.

Question 3

How does NAD+ differ from NMN supplements?

Accepted Answer

NMN is an oral precursor that the body converts into NAD+. IV NAD+ delivers the active coenzyme directly, bypassing conversion steps.
