NAD+ 1,000 mg reconstitution calculator
How much bac water for NAD+ 1,000 mg?
There’s no single right amount: the water sets the strength, not how much NAD+ is in the vial, so use the volume on your pharmacy’s instructions. For example, 5 mL makes 200 mg/mL and 10 mL makes 100 mg/mL; the table below shows what each volume means on a U-100 syringe.

The volume printed on the vial or its box, not the mg. We’ll tell you if the water won’t fit.
What each volume makes
| Water | Strength | Each unit | 1 mg is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mL | 200 mg/mL | 2 mg | 0.5 units |
| 10 mL | 100 mg/mL | 1 mg | 1 unit |
Examples; use the volume on your pharmacy’s instructions. Units are on a U-100 syringe: 100 units = 1 mL.
5 mL and 10 mL need a vial that holds at least that much. Check the size printed on your vial, in mL, before adding water (how much water a vial can hold).
About the 1,000 mg vial
Same water, twice the strength of a 500 mg vial
With 10 mL of water this vial is 100 mg/mL (1 mg per unit), the same strength as the 500 mg vial with 5 mL. With 5 mL it’s 200 mg/mL: each unit holds 2 mg and a full 100-unit syringe holds 200 mg. So the same 5 mL gives 100 mg/mL in a 500 mg vial and 200 mg/mL in this one, and the same syringe reading holds twice as much here. Units carry over between the two vials only when the strength matches. 10 mL is 1,000 units on the U-100 scale, so check that your vial can take that volume before you plan the water (how much water a vial can hold).
Check whether yours is already a liquid
NAD+ injection is also made as a ready-to-use liquid. FDA recall listings include NAD+ injection at 50, 100 and 200 mg/mL in 10 mL multi-dose vials, and 100 mg/mL in prefilled syringes (FDA Enforcement Report). A 10 mL vial at 100 mg/mL holds 1,000 mg, so a “1000 mg” label can describe a liquid as well as a powder. If your vial already holds liquid and its label gives a strength in mg/mL, don’t add water: extra liquid dilutes it, so the label’s strength would no longer be true. Enter the labeled mg/mL in the units converter instead.
Recalled NAD+ injections
FDA enforcement reports list recalls of compounded NAD+ injections: a Class I recall of 100 and 200 mg/mL vials for “elevated endotoxin levels”, and Class II recalls of vials and prefilled syringes for “Lack of Assurance of Sterility” (FDA Enforcement Report). The recalled products include 10 mL multi-dose vials at 100 and 200 mg/mL, the same strengths this vial makes with 10 or 5 mL of water. The FDA’s warning about food-grade NAD+ in compounded products is on the 500 mg page. If your vial holds multiple doses, ask your pharmacist how long it lasts once opened.
Less water won't stop it dissolving
NAD+ dissolves very easily: PubChem lists its water solubility as 752.5 mg/mL (PubChem). Even the stronger example here, 1000 mg in 5 mL (200 mg/mL), is far below that, so a 1000 mg vial doesn’t need extra water just to dissolve. Choose the volume from your pharmacy’s instructions, not from how the powder looks. If the liquid stays cloudy or shows particles after gentle swirling, more water isn’t the fix: don’t use it, and call your pharmacy.

About NAD+
US regulatory status
Compounding restricted
No NAD+ injection is approved by the FDA. NAD is in Category 1 of the FDA’s interim 503A policy (list updated May 14, 2026), so state-licensed pharmacies may compound it under certain conditions while the FDA evaluates it; that is not an approval, and the FDA has warned compounders against making IV NAD+ from food-grade ingredients.

How this NAD+ calculator works
This calculator starts from the 1,000 mg in your vial. Add the water you mix it with and the dose your prescriber gave you; it divides the mg by the mL to get the strength, then turns your dose into mL and units on a 30, 50 or 100-unit syringe.
Peptinote never suggests a dose or a water volume. The example volumes are there to make the math easy to check, not as advice. For the full method, see the peptide calculator.
Questions people ask
How much bacteriostatic water for 1000mg NAD+?
There’s no single right amount: use the volume on your pharmacy’s instructions. The water only sets the strength; the vial still holds 1,000 mg however much you add. With 5 mL it’s 200 mg/mL (2 mg per unit) and with 10 mL 100 mg/mL (1 mg per unit). Enter your volume and prescribed dose above to get the units. This product isn’t FDA-approved, so no official label sets a water volume and its contents aren’t verified.
How do I reconstitute NAD+ 1000 mg?
Wipe both stoppers with alcohol and let them dry. Draw the volume of bacteriostatic water your pharmacy specifies into a new syringe, add it slowly down the inside of the vial, then swirl gently until clear; don’t shake. Label it with the strength: 1,000 mg in 5 mL is 200 mg/mL. Full steps: how to reconstitute peptides.
What are the steps to reconstitute NAD+ 1000mg?
Mixing your NAD+ 1,000 mg vial takes the bacteriostatic water your pharmacy specifies and a new sterile syringe. Add the water slowly against the glass and swirl, never shake, until the liquid is clear. If it stays cloudy or has particles, don’t use it; call your pharmacy. Then write the strength and date on the vial and store it as the label says (how to store peptides).

Can Peptinote tell me how many units to take?
No. Peptinote never suggests a dose. Enter the dose your prescriber gave you, and the calculator shows how to measure it: the units, the mL and where the line sits on your syringe, with every step of the math. If you aren’t sure what your dose is, ask your prescriber or pharmacist before drawing anything. How our calculator works.
