Independent · NAD⁺ only

NAD⁺, pricedand ranked by whatthe evidence supports.

Independent reviews of NAD⁺ injections, IV therapy, nasal sprays and supplements — scored on evidence, price transparency, and what you actually get.

Scores are computed from a published rubric and never move with who pays us. The option we rate best on evidence is one we earn nothing from — and we say so on the page.

injections

NAD⁺ Injections

Subcutaneous NAD⁺ from telehealth prescribers — what a course actually costs, who ships it, and what the dosing evidence supports.

Explore →iv

NAD⁺ IV Therapy

The most expensive way to raise NAD⁺ and the one with the least outcome data. We price it honestly and say so.

Explore →oral

Oral Precursors

NR and NMN reliably raise blood NAD⁺ in randomized trials and cost a fraction of a drip. The evidence ranking is the inverse of the price ranking.

Evidence

What is NAD⁺? The coenzyme, the claims, and what the trials actually show

NAD⁺ is a coenzyme every one of your cells already uses, and its levels fall with age. That much is settled. What raising it back up actually does for you is a very different question — and the answer explains why the cheapest form has the best evidence.

NAD⁺ benefits: what the trials measured, and the one they tested that did not appear

NAD⁺ is sold on energy, focus, sleep and slower aging. Here is what human trials have actually measured — including a randomized trial where NR did not alter cognition at all.

NMN vs NR vs NAD⁺: what the difference actually is, and which has the better evidence

NMN and NR are not alternatives to NAD⁺ — they are the two common routes to it. Here is what each has been shown to do in human trials, which has more evidence behind it, and why both beat an injection on cost and data.

The NAD Picks standard

The cheapest NAD⁺ has the best evidence. We say so, and we earn nothing from it.

A rank is an output

Scores are computed from a published rubric — evidence, price transparency, value, ordering experience, clinical support. No provider carries a score we typed in by hand.

Blind to who pays

The scoring function does not read commercial status. Partners are shown first and labeled as such; that is display order, and it never touches the number.

Prices read from the seller

Every price on this site was read off the provider's own page, not a program description. The two disagree more often than you would expect.

Where to start

Vetted ways to actually get care.

We rank providers on evidence and transparency. Commercial relationships set the order of partners — never the verdict.

Disclosure: NAD Picks is reader-supported. Some links below are affiliate links — if you start care through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Partners are listed first; a commission never changes what we write about a provider. How we make money.
