What side effects or safety risks should I know about NAD+?
Short answer
Safety data for NAD+ wellness treatments are limited, so the full range and frequency of side effects are not known. Injections can cause local pain, bruising, or infection. Nasal sprays may irritate the nose. Seek emergency care for trouble breathing, fainting, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.
The side effects of NAD+ wellness treatments are not fully defined. Limited research means there is uncertainty about both short-term reactions and longer-term safety. Risks may depend on the delivery method, dose, added ingredients, and your health history.
An injection can cause pain, redness, or bruising where the needle enters. Poor technique or a contaminated product can lead to infection. Nasal products may cause local irritation or discomfort. These are delivery-related risks and are not a complete list of possible reactions to NAD+.
Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and are not FDA-approved. The FDA has warned about adverse events linked to injectable NAD+ products, including severe chills, shaking, vomiting, and fatigue. Contamination is a serious concern with injectable compounded products.
Call 911 for trouble breathing, collapse, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue. Seek prompt medical care for fever, severe chills, repeated vomiting, or spreading redness after an injection. Do not take another dose after a concerning reaction until you have received medical guidance.
