Is compounded NAD+ FDA-approved?
Short answer
No. Compounded NAD+ is not FDA-approved. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. A prescription does not mean the product has FDA approval or that its wellness benefits have been proven.
Compounded NAD+ is not FDA-approved. Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient. Compounding can serve a medical need when a commercially available drug cannot meet that patient's needs, but it does not give a product FDA approval.
The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed. A licensed pharmacy and a valid prescription are important parts of care, but they do not remove all risks. Problems with contamination or incorrect strength can cause serious harm, especially with injectable products.
Ask which pharmacy will prepare your prescription. Review the label, ingredients, storage directions, and beyond-use date with the pharmacist. Do not use a product if the packaging is damaged or if its appearance differs from what the pharmacy describes.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether NAD+ is appropriate after reviewing your health information. Evidence for wellness benefits in healthy people is limited. Results vary. Discuss this uncertainty, possible risks, and other options before choosing treatment.
