NAD+ Price: Cost per mg at Every Vendor We Review

NAD+ is the odd one on the Bureau's price tracker. It is not a peptide, the vials hold 500 or 1,000 mg rather than 5 or 10, and the price per milligram is measured in cents, so the table on this page shows it to the tenth of a cent. Searches for the price mix three different products: a research vial, a clinic IV drip and an over-the-counter supplement. This page is about the first, priced from each vendor's own store data every morning, with the other two set out below so the comparison is honest.

What You Are Paying For

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme every cell uses in energy metabolism. It is a small molecule, not a chain of amino acids, which is why it is sold in hundreds of milligrams and why it is cheap per milligram. Levels fall with age, which is the basis of the longevity interest; whether giving NAD+ itself raises levels inside cells, and whether that does anything useful, is still being studied. The NAD+ injection guide covers what is known.

Two things make NAD+ different to buy. It is fragile: the freeze-dried powder wants cold, dry storage, and a mixed solution should be kept cold and used sooner rather than later. And a vial's strength is easy to get wrong, because the label is in hundreds of milligrams and a vendor that fills short saves a lot of money. Both argue for paying attention to the batch certificate and to storage and shipping rather than to the lowest price alone.

How to Read an NAD+ Price

Vendors sell NAD+ in 100, 500 and 1,000 mg vials. The price per mg in the table above is the comparable figure; the size table shows the lowest in-stock price at each size. Four things move it.

• Vial size. The 1,000 mg vial is usually cheaper per mg than the 500 mg one. Because mixed NAD+ should be used promptly, a very large vial mixed at once can waste more than it saves; the storage guide covers keeping powder and solution, and the NAD+ dosage page how amounts are usually written.
• Cold chain. NAD+ is more sensitive to heat than most research compounds. A vendor that ships with cold packs and stores the stock cold carries a cost that one shipping in a plain envelope does not.
• Where the vendor sits in the supply chain. Almost no Western research vendor synthesises anything. They buy bulk material, then fill, freeze-dry, label and ship, so a high price is not proof of better material and a low one is not proof of worse.
• Testing. A certificate should state the content in milligrams as well as purity. A vial that is 98% pure but holds 800 mg when it says 1,000 mg is a worse buy than its price suggests.

Research Vial vs Clinic IV vs Supplement

A clinic sells NAD+ as an intravenous drip, usually priced per session, and the price buys the clinician, the infusion chair and a pharmacy-prepared bag. A supplement shop sells precursors such as nicotinamide riboside or NMN in capsules, which are not NAD+ itself. A research vial is a third thing: a powder sold for laboratory use only, with no clinician, no pharmacy and no label claim beyond its certificate. Comparing a vial with a drip on price alone leaves out the column that matters, and the Bureau does not recommend injecting a research vial. Nothing here is medical advice.

How to Check a Vendor Before You Pay

The cheapest listing in the table is only cheap if the vial holds what the label says. Four checks take ten minutes.

• Match the certificate to your batch. A useful certificate of analysis names the lab, the batch or lot number, the date, a purity figure and the content in milligrams. A generic certificate with no batch number proves nothing about your vial. The peptide testing guide shows what a real one looks like.
• Type the address yourself. Popular vendor names attract look-alike domains, some of which take payment and ship nothing. The guide to buying peptides covers how to tell a real store from a copy.
• Pay by card on a first order. Crypto and bank transfer discounts are real, and so is the chargeback right they cost you. Take the discount once a vendor has delivered.
• Read the review. Every vendor in the table links to the Bureau's review or scorecard entry, which says what the vendor states, what the Bureau could verify and what it could not. The 2026 vendor scorecard ranks the ones we score, and the coupon page lists the codes we have seen work.

Doses are outside the scope of this page. Amounts and how they are usually written are in the NAD+ injection dosage page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of NAD+ today?

On 28 October 2026 the lowest in-stock price among the vendors the Bureau reviews was $0.055 per mg (Luv Aminos, 1000 mg for $55.00), the median was $0.135 per mg and the highest was $0.300 per mg (Penguin Peptides, 100 mg for $30.00). Prices are list prices for single vials before any code, read from each store's own data.

How much does NAD+ cost per mg?

A few cents. The table above gives the price per mg at every vendor to a tenth of a cent, refreshed every morning, and the size table gives the lowest in-stock price for each vial size. Prices are list prices before any code.

Is a 1,000 mg vial of NAD+ cheaper per mg than a 500 mg vial?

Usually. The size table shows the lowest in-stock price per mg at each size. A 1,000 mg vial only saves money if you use it before the mixed solution degrades, so a smaller vial or two can be the better buy.

Is NAD+ a peptide?

No. It is a coenzyme, a small molecule made of two nucleotides. The Bureau tracks it next to the peptides because the same research vendors sell it, but it is a different kind of compound, sold in far larger quantities.

Is the cheapest NAD+ listing the best buy?

Not on price alone. A price far below the rest of the market can mean a vendor clearing stock, a vial holding less than the label says, or a product that was not kept cold. Check that the vendor publishes a batch-specific certificate with content and purity before treating a low price as a bargain.

How do I work out the cost of one dose?

Multiply the price per mg by the amount in milligrams. The Peptulator NAD+ calculator does the arithmetic and gives the syringe mark for a given vial and water volume; the dosage page covers how amounts are usually written.
