NAD+
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell, central to how cells produce energy. It is offered as a compounded injectable. Here is what it is, what the research does and does not show, and how it works through a licensed physician.

What it is
What NAD+ is
NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a coenzyme present in all living cells. It plays a central role in metabolism, helping cells convert nutrients into usable energy and taking part in many basic cellular processes. Levels of NAD+ are known to decline with age. NAD+ offered through Xceed is a compounded injectable. Beyond that established biology, we make no claims about what supplemental NAD+ will do for you. Whether it fits your goals is a decision for a licensed physician.
The evidence
What the research says, and what it does not
The role of NAD+ inside the cell is well established, and its decline with age is documented. What is far less settled is whether raising NAD+ through injections produces a meaningful health benefit in people. Much of the promising work involves cells, animals, or NAD+ precursor supplements rather than injectable NAD+ itself, and the human evidence is still early. We present the research so you can be informed and ask your physician detailed questions. We make no claims about what NAD+ will do for you.

Safety
Safety and what to discuss with your physician
A licensed physician reviews your history and decides whether NAD+ is appropriate for you, and monitors you while you are on protocol. Reactions at the injection site, such as redness or discomfort, can occur. With NAD+ given too quickly, people have reported sensations such as flushing, nausea, chest tightness, or cramping, which is one reason a physician guides how it is used. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone with a significant medical condition, should review it with a physician first.
The process
How to get NAD+ through Xceed
Tell us your goal
Complete a short medical intake.
A physician decides
If a protocol is right for you, they prescribe it. If it is not, they tell you.
Delivered, with a coach
A US-based pharmacy dispenses it, and the Avida app and a coach come with it.
Is NAD+ FDA-approved?
No. NAD+ offered through Xceed is compounded and is not FDA-approved. It is prescribed by a licensed physician and dispensed by a licensed US-based pharmacy.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is NAD+ FDA-approved?
No. What you would receive is compounded and is not FDA-approved.
What is NAD+?
A coenzyme found in every cell that plays a central role in how cells produce energy. Its levels decline with age.
Does an NAD+ injection work?
The biology of NAD+ is well understood, but whether raising it by injection produces a health benefit in people is not well established. We do not promise a result. Your physician can talk through what is and is not known.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. A licensed physician reviews your intake and decides before anything is dispensed.
How is it taken?
As an injection. Your physician sets the specifics.
How is quality assured?
It is compounded by a licensed US-based pharmacy and, where applicable, batch tested. [[Confirm testing specifics with the pharmacy.]]
