What it is
A naturally occurring coenzyme central to cellular energy production, metabolic reactions, mitochondrial function, and redox balance — provided through prescription injectable formulations prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy.
Why a provider may consider it
A provider may evaluate NAD+ when energy and fatigue, exercise recovery, performance, or healthy-aging objectives are prominent in an individual’s assessment and the overall clinical picture supports it.
- ✓Energy & fatigue patterns
- ✓Exercise recovery
- ✓Performance goals
- ✓Healthy-aging objectives
How it is administered
A prescription injectable, typically self-administered at home with guidance from your care team. Frequency and strength are individualized by the prescribing physician and adjusted based on your response.
What Meridian may track

- •Recovery signals relative to your baseline
- •Side effects, so the plan can be adjusted early
- •Laboratory information when your physician considers it useful
Important considerations
- —Obtained only through a qualified pharmacy using sterile-compounding standards.
- —Compounded NAD+ is not an FDA-approved drug; the research base is active and still evolving.
- —Brief flushing, warmth, or nausea can occur around administration; your care team helps you manage this.
- —A licensed physician independently decides whether NAD+ is appropriate for you after reviewing your health information.
