IV NAD+ is the gold standard for serious protocols. Sub-Q is cheaper and easier. For longevity-adjacent goals (not clinical conditions), does Sub-Q cover the use case?

Sub-Q at 100mg 2x/week covers general longevity use. IV is overkill unless you're running clinical-dose protocols for addiction or neurodegenerative stuff.

PK data for Sub-Q NAD+ is limited but extrapolating from pyridine nucleotide class, Sub-Q gives a broader AUC with lower peak vs IV. For longevity use case, probably equivalent or better.

Thanks all. Going to stay Sub-Q. The IV clinics charge 3-5x for a marginal acute difference that isn't the use case I need.
