Buying NAD+ online might seem easy, but not all options are safe or legal. Learn what to consider before purchasing NAD+ and how to do it the right way.

Key takeaways

Yes, you can buy NAD+ included in supplements online; however, prescription options like injections require a health assessment with a licensed healthcare provider, who will determine whether NAD+ is appropriate for your individual health needs.
Over-the-counter supplements contain NAD+ precursors, not NAD+ itself.
Injectable NAD+ is only available when prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider.
Eden is a platform that connects you with licensed healthcare providers who can determine whether NAD+ therapy is an appropriate treatment for you.
It is recommended to verify the source, ingredients, and obtain comprehensive medical oversight when purchasing NAD+ products.

Why People Are Searching “Buy NAD+”

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in the body’s cells. The coenzyme is involved in key metabolic pathways, including cellular energy production. It primarily functions as a carrier of electrons in redox reactions, for the production and transfer of energy in cells.

The FDA has indicated it does not consider NAD to be a supplement because its precursor, NMN, was first investigated as a drug. However, there is currently no FDA-approved NAD drug on the market.

Online stores offer capsules, powders, sprays—even injectable kits—but not all are backed by science or regulated for safety.

Important safety information

What Are You Really Buying?

Generally, when you search “buy NAD+,” you’ll find two main product types:
‍

NAD+ Precursors (Supplements)

Most over-the-counter products are not NAD+ itself, but precursors like:

NR (nicotinamide riboside)
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide)

These supplements may support NAD+ production, but results may vary.
‍

NAD+ Injections

These deliver NAD+ directly into the body, bypassing digestion. However:

They must be prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider who must first conduct an assessment to determine whether or not it is an appropriate treatment for you.
Licensed compounding pharmacies will then compound NAD+ for you
They cannot be purchased without a medical consultation

Is It Safe to Buy NAD+ Online?

It depends on where—and what—you’re buying.

Safe:

NAD+ supplements from reputable manufacturers
Prescription NAD+ injections from licensed compounding pharmacies (post-licensed provider consult and prescription).

Not Safe:

Sites offering NAD+ injections without medical evaluation
Unbranded NAD+ powders or nasal sprays lacking third-party testing or labeling
Claims that promise to reverse aging or cure disease
