Subcutaneous NAD+ injections should be administered under the guidance and supervision of your healthcare professional from IVY RX. It is important to follow their instructions and recommendations for dosage and frequency.

1. Gather supplies: Make sure you have the NAD+ solution, a sterile syringe with a needle suitable for subcutaneous injection, alcohol swabs, and a sharps container for needle disposal.
2. Clean the injection site: Choose an appropriate injection site, such as the fatty areas of the abdomen, thigh, or the back of the upper arm. Clean the area with an alcohol swab and let it air dry.
3. Prepare the syringe: Draw the prescribed amount of NAD+ solution into the syringe, following the healthcare provider's instructions. Ensure there are no air bubbles in the syringe.
4. Pinch and inject: Gently pinch the skin at the injection site. Insert the needle at a 45- to 90-degree angle, depending on the amount of fatty tissue available, and slowly push the plunger to administer the NAD+ solution.
5. Withdraw the needle: Once the solution has been injected, withdraw the needle gently and release the pinched skin. Apply pressure to the injection site with a clean gauze pad or cotton ball, if needed.
6. Dispose of the needle: Safely dispose of the used needle and syringe in a sharps container according to local regulations. Never reuse or share needles.

The benefits of NAD+ injections can vary, but generally, the effects of NAD+ injections may start to be noticeable within a few hours to a few days after the initial treatment. Most patients report feeling increased energy, mental clarity, and improved mood soon after the injection.

NAD+ supplements can have side effects, some of the most common include:

1. Nausea: Some people may experience feelings of nausea when taking NAD+ supplements, especially if they take higher doses than recommended.
2. Headaches: NAD+ supplements can cause headaches, particularly if you are sensitive to nicotinic acid (the component of NAD+ that gives niacin its name).
3. Flushing: NAD+ supplements can cause flushing, a sensation of warmth and redness in the skin, especially when taken on an empty stomach.
4. Diarrhea: NAD+ supplements can cause diarrhea, especially if taken in high doses.
5. Dizziness: NAD+ supplements can cause dizziness, especially in people who are prone to this symptom.

It is important to note that these side effects are usually mild and do not last long. If you experience any adverse effects when taking NAD+ supplements, you should stop taking them and connect to your healthcare provider via IVY RX messaging portal.

While NAD+ supplements have shown promise in supporting cellular health and combating the effects of aging, it is essential to be aware of some important safety information before starting supplementation:

1. Consult a healthcare professional: Before beginning any new supplement, including NAD+, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine if it is appropriate for your specific needs and health conditions.
2. Potential side effects: Some individuals may experience mild side effects when supplementing with NAD+, such as nausea, headache, fatigue, or stomach discomfort. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
3. Drug interactions: NAD+ supplements may interact with certain medications, such as blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or chemotherapy drugs. Consult your healthcare professional to discuss potential interactions before starting NAD+ supplementation.
4. Allergies and sensitivities: If you have any known allergies or sensitivities to ingredients found in NAD+ supplements, avoid using the product or consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
5. Dosage and administration: Follow the recommended dosage and administration guidelines provided by your healthcare professional. Taking more than the recommended dose can increase the risk of side effects and may not provide additional benefits.
6. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety of NAD+ supplementation during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been well-studied. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your healthcare provider before using NAD+ supplements.
7. Pre-existing health conditions: Individuals with certain pre-existing health conditions, such as kidney or liver disease, should consult their healthcare provider before starting NAD+ supplementation to ensure it is safe and appropriate for their specific situation.
