People Who Should Avoid NAD Injections:
1. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
There isn’t enough research on the safety of NAD⁺ therapy during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It’s best to avoid unless specifically approved by your doctor.
2. People with active cancer.
NAD⁺ supports cell metabolism and repair, which could theoretically stimulate tumor growth in certain cancers. Until more data is available, NAD⁺ therapy is not recommended for anyone with active or recent cancer.
3. Those with severe liver or kidney disease.
The metabolism and clearance of NAD⁺ involve these organs. People with impaired function may have trouble processing the injection safely.
4. People with low blood pressure or heart rhythm issues.
NAD⁺ infusions (and occasionally injections) can temporarily lower blood pressure or cause flushing and chest tightness if given too quickly. Those with cardiac conditions should use extra caution and only under medical supervision.
5. Anyone with an allergy to ingredients in the injection.
Rare, but reactions can occur to preservatives or stabilizers in the solution. Always check the specific formulation with your provider.
