No. NAD+ is not an FDA-approved drug for any use. Injectable NAD+ is prepared by compounding pharmacies under a prescription, and oral forms such as NMN and NR are regulated as dietary supplements, which the FDA does not approve before they are sold.
What this means for you
Not approved means no manufacturer has submitted clinical trials to the FDA showing that NAD+ treats a condition, and no finished NAD+ product has been reviewed for safety and effectiveness. Most human evidence for the benefits people seek is early, and a provider should say so plainly. A compounded prescription gives you a licensed preparer, a labeled concentration and a clinician who is responsible for you, which is the oversight available in the absence of approval.
How it works at Biotech Lifestyle
Our providers describe the evidence and the unapproved status before prescribing. If NAD+ is appropriate for you, it is compounded by a licensed U.S. pharmacy as part of our longevity medicine program.
