The question I've been getting this week: "Should I be taking NAD+?" And then right behind it: "What's the best way to take it?"
Here's the short on NAD+ — it's a coenzyme every cell in your body needs to produce energy, and it naturally declines as we age. That decline has been linked to a lot of what we associate with getting older — lower energy, slower recovery, and reduced cellular repair.
NAD+ is worth trying. The next question is how: via injection.
Oral NAD+ and its precursors (like NMN and NR) have to survive digestion before they even get a chance to work, and a lot gets broken down or poorly absorbed along the way. Injection skips that problem entirely — it delivers NAD+ in a form your body can actually use.
A few reasons people are asking for it:
Cellular energy— NAD+ is essential to how your cells produce energy, and levels drop as we age.
Supports the aging process— NAD+ plays a role in DNA repair and the cellular processes tied to aging well over time.
Recovery— Popular with athletes and active people looking to bounce back faster.
Which is why we're glad to now offer NAD+ injections here at Blackburn Drug, compounded by our trusted sterile compounding partner.
If you're interested, talk to your doctor about whether NAD+ is right for you — let them know we can fill the prescription.
