NAD+ reconstitution calculator
NAD+ is commonly supplied as 100 mg, 500 mg, 1000 mg vials. Pick a vial size and a water volume to see the concentration and what each syringe mark holds. Enter a target amount to see the draw. This page does not suggest any amount.
Work backwards: pick how many syringe units you want each draw to be, and the calculator tells you how much water gives that concentration.
Example values shown. Larger draws (10 units or more) are easier to measure accurately than very small ones.
Estimate how long a vial lasts and what a protocol costs, from your own price and schedule.
Example values shown. Replace them with your own.

About NAD+
NAD+ is a coenzyme present in every living cell, essential for energy metabolism and for enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs. Tissue levels fall with age in animals. Boosting NAD+ improves several ageing measures in mice, but human trials of precursors have shown modest or inconsistent effects on clinical outcomes.
NAD+ calculator questions
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 100 mg NAD+ vial?
The calculator does not prescribe a volume; the right choice depends on how large you want each draw to be. As arithmetic: 100 mg in 5 mL gives 20 mg/mL, so each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 200 mcg. Use the “Water to add” tab to work backwards from a draw size.
What concentration does NAD+ have after reconstitution?
Concentration is the vial mass divided by the water volume. For example, 100 mg in 5 mL is 20 mg/mL. Check the certificate of analysis for net peptide content, which is usually lower than the label.
