Subcutaneous (SQ) NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an injectable form of a coenzyme found in all living cells that is essential for energy metabolism and DNA repair. While traditionally known for long, multi-hour IV infusions, the Subcutaneous Protocol has become the gold standard for "at-home" longevity and metabolic support because it allows for smaller, more frequent doses that maintain steady systemic levels.

1. What is it?

NAD+ is the fuel for your mitochondria. As we age, our natural levels of NAD+ drop by nearly 50% every 20 years, leading to "cellular aging," fatigue, and brain fog. Subcutaneous NAD+ delivers the coenzyme directly into the fatty tissue, where it is slowly absorbed into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely.

2. Key Patient Benefits

• Cellular "Biohacking": Activates Sirtuins (longevity genes) that repair damaged DNA.

• Mental Clarity: Often described by patients as "lifting a veil" or clearing persistent brain fog.

• Energy Production: Directly boosts the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of your cells.

• Metabolic Support: Works synergistically with your GLP-1 protocols to improve insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial efficiency.

• Convenience: Unlike a 4-hour IV drip, an SQ injection takes 30 seconds and can be done at home.

3. The Administration Protocol

• Injection Site: Typically administered in the abdomen (belly fat) or the back of the arm, similar to an insulin or Semaglutide shot.

• Frequency: Usually prescribed as 2–3 times per week to maintain optimal cellular levels.

• The "Flush" Sensation: NAD+ is biologically active. Patients may experience a mild, temporary sensation of "tightness" in the chest or a warm flush immediately after injection. This is normal and usually subsides within 2–5 minutes.

4. Why "Compounded" NAD+?

Because NAD+ is a delicate molecule, the ThrIVe protocol utilizes Compounded NAD+ from high-tier pharmacies. This ensures:

• High Concentration: 100 mg/mL.

• Purity: Tested for potency and sterility (USP <797> compliant).

• No Fillers: Free from the additives often found in oral supplements that have poor bioavailability.

5. Ideal Candidates at ThrIVe

• Patients on a Weight Loss journey looking to maintain energy while in a caloric deficit.

• Athletes in Bismarck/Mandan looking for faster muscle recovery.

• Professionals dealing with high stress and cognitive fatigue.

• Anyone interested in Anti-Aging and proactive longevity.
