I've been doing NAD+ injections for about 6 weeks now. I'm 38 and was dealing with that 3pm energy crash every day — no amount of coffee or sleep seemed to help.
Started with 100mg subQ every other day. The first few days I felt a bit flushed and tingly (apparently normal), but by the end of week 1 I noticed I wasn't crashing in the afternoon anymore.
Now at week 6, the difference is significant:
- Consistent energy throughout the day
- Better mental clarity, especially in the mornings
- My workouts feel easier (I do hot yoga and strength training)
- Sleeping more deeply
I know correlation isn't causation but the timing is too perfect. This is the only thing I changed. Would definitely recommend trying it if you're dealing with fatigue.

Can confirm the energy thing. I added NAD+ to my protocol a month ago and I'm recovering way faster between BJJ sessions. The flush feeling goes away after the first week.
NAD+ is one of those peptides where the research is really solid. Great for mitochondrial function. 100mg EOD is a good maintenance dose. Some people go higher for the first 2 weeks (200mg/day) as a loading phase.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for sharing your experience with NAD+! It's amazing to hear how it's been a game changer for you, especially with those afternoon energy slumps. We know how frustrating that 3pm crash can be. The benefits you're noticing, like consistent energy and enhanced mental clarity, really highlight how NAD+ can support mitochondrial function and overall vitality.
It's interesting that you felt flushed and tingly at first — that's something a few others have mentioned too when starting NAD+ injections, but it usually subsides as you get used to it. Your dosing regimen sounds solid, and it's great to see how it's positively impacting your workouts and sleep as well.
Have you noticed any additional changes in your fitness since starting NAD+, particularly with your hot yoga and strength training sessions? We'd love to hear more about how it's affecting your performance. Keep up the great progress!
