Peptide Summary

NAD+: NAD+ is a natural fuel your body uses to repair DNA and create energy, but we lose about half of it by middle age. Taking it gives your cells the fuel they need to act young again, which can clear up brain fog, boost energy, and slow down the aging process.

Peptide Mechanism

NAD+: NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital molecule present in every cell, crucial for converting food into energy. It acts like a shuttle, moving electrons to power cellular processes, supporting DNA repair, metabolism, and protecting cells from stress.

Peptide Recommendations

NAD+: All doses below are for subcutaneous injection. Start low and build up gradually - NAD+ can cause a flushing or warm sensation if you go too fast. Goal | Dose | Frequency Beginner | 10-25 mg | 3 times per week Intermediate | 25-50 mg | 3 times per week Advanced | 50 mg | 3-5 times per week

Peptide Timing

NAD+: Morning administration is recommended, as NAD+ supports cellular energy production and aligns with the body's natural energy cycles. Can be taken with or without food.

Peptide Cycling Protocol

NAD+: Cycling is generally not recommended. NAD+ is continuously consumed by the body and consistent supplementation is preferred.

Peptide Side Effect Notes

NAD+: ⚠️ Spicy injection warning: NAD+ is well known for causing a burning or stinging sensation at the injection site. This is normal and not a sign of anything wrong. To reduce it: let the alcohol dry fully, warm the syringe in your hands before injecting, and consider adding more BAC water to lower the concentration. Other possible side effects include mild nausea, fatigue, or headaches at higher doses. Pairs exceptionally well with SS-31 - NAD+ provides the fuel while SS-31 repairs the mitochondrial machinery to use it efficiently.

Peptide Quick Dose

Peptide: NAD+; Dose Range: 50-200 mg; Frequency: Daily or 2-3x/week; Timing / Notes: Morning. Start low to avoid flushing.

Peptide Stack Protocols

1. The Retatrutide Energy & Mitochondrial Stack Retatrutide + NAD+ + SS-31 (+ optional MOTS-c) The Goal: Combat the fatigue and energy drain that often comes with the calorie deficit caused by Retatrutide, while maximizing fat burning at the cellular level. How it works: Retatrutide handles the appetite suppression and metabolic baseline. However, eating significantly less can leave you feeling drained. NAD+ provides the raw cellular fuel to keep your energy up, while SS-31 repairs the mitochondria so they can actually use that fuel efficiently. MOTS-c can be added to further enhance insulin sensitivity and push the muscles to burn fat for energy. Peptide | Dose | Frequency | Time of Day Retatrutide | 0.5-2 mg (start low) | Once weekly | Any consistent day NAD+ | 25-50 mg SubQ | 3x per week (Mon/Wed/Fri) | Morning SS-31 | 10 mg | Daily or 5x per week | Morning MOTS-c (optional) | 5-10 mg | 2-3x per week | Morning, fasted Day | What to Take Monday | Retatrutide + NAD+ + SS-31 + MOTS-c (if using) Tuesday | SS-31 Wednesday | NAD+ + SS-31 Thursday | SS-31 Friday | NAD+ + SS-31 + MOTS-c (if using) Saturday | SS-31 Sunday | Rest Cycle: Run continuously alongside Retatrutide. NAD+ and SS-31 do not require a break. MOTS-c: 4-8 weeks on, 2-4 weeks off.

Peptide Comparison Notes

5. Cellular Energy & Anti-Aging: NAD+ vs. SS-31 vs. Epithalon NAD+ is the fuel. It provides the raw material your cells need to repair DNA and create energy. SS-31 is the mechanic. It goes into the mitochondria (the cell's power plants) and repairs the machinery so it can use the NAD+ fuel efficiently. Epithalon works on the DNA itself, lengthening the protective caps (telomeres) to slow down cellular aging.
