π Best Time to Take NAD+
πΉ Morning (Recommended for Most People)
- Why? NAD+ plays a key role in energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and cognitive alertness.
- Taking it in the morning supports:
- Increased mental clarity
- Enhanced energy throughout the day
- Better circadian rhythm alignment
- Best for: Daily wellness, anti-aging, productivity, neuroprotection
πΉ Post-Workout (Optional Timing)
- Some take NAD+ after intense workouts to support:
- Cellular repair
- Mitochondrial recovery
- Best if combining with other recovery nutrients (e.g., glutathione, B12, amino acids)
πΉ Avoid Late Evening
- NAD+ may increase alertness, which can interfere with sleep if taken too late in the dayβespecially in high doses or IV form.

Subcutaneous/IM Injection | Morning or pre-lunch for best mental energy and cell support |
Sublingual | Take on empty stomach, first thing in morning |
Capsules | Morning with or without food (NAD+ precursors like NR or NMN often taken with resveratrol or TMG) |
π Suggested Routine
πΉ Morning: NAD+ injection or sublingual
