Dosing Schedule

Administer 25 units three times per week. Inject in the AM or PM, whichever fits your routine. Space your doses evenly across the week to maintain steady NAD+ precursor support.

Day Dose Notes
Monday 25units NR
Tuesday Rest day
Wednesday 25units NR
Thursday Rest day
Friday 25units NR
Saturday Rest day
Sunday Rest day
Tip: The schedule above uses Mon/Wed/Fri as example days. You can adjust to fit your routine. The key rule: keep one rest day between doses and inject at roughly the same time each dosing day.
Do not exceed 50 units per injection. Higher doses do not improve results and increase the likelihood of warmth, flushing, or injection site discomfort. Stay at 25 units unless directed otherwise by your provider.

Timing & Tolerance

Nicotinamide Riboside can be injected in the AM or PM. Many find AM injections energizing and PM injections better tolerated. NR is generally milder than NAD+, but a slow push still helps minimize warmth at the injection site. Rotate sites with each dose.

Inject slowly. A slow push over 30 to 60 seconds reduces any warmth or sting at the site. Rotating between abdomen and thigh prevents irritation and keeps absorption consistent.

Cycling Protocol

Nicotinamide Riboside is administered in cycles. Run the protocol for 12 consecutive weeks, then take 2 weeks off before starting the next cycle. You will need 3 vials to complete one full 12-week cycle.

The 2-week off period lets your cellular pathways reset so the next cycle stays effective. Continue any other protocols you are running as prescribed. The off cycle applies to Nicotinamide Riboside only.

Storage

Store your Nicotinamide Riboside vial refrigerated at 36-46°F (2-8°C) after reconstitution. Keep away from direct sunlight. NR is light-sensitive, so a closed, dark area of the fridge is ideal. Unreconstituted vials can be stored at room temperature.
