Based on your profile, here is the thinking behind your starting dose and how to get going safely.
Safety information
Important medical notice: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) therapy should be approached with care. This calculator is an independent educational utility provided by Vivere and does not constitute prescribing guidance.
Because bioavailability and individual metabolism vary heavily, your specific protocol must be tailored by a medical professional. Do not change your dosing schedule or attempt to inject medication without direct clinical advice.
Why use an NAD+ dosage calculator?
An NAD+ dosage calculator helps you estimate the most appropriate starting point for your therapy based on your unique lifestyle, age and wellness goals. Because NAD+ depletion varies heavily from person to person, a one size fits all dose is rarely the best approach.
Using this tool gives you a proportional understanding of how your daily habits, like sleep, exercise and stress, affect your cellular energy. It serves as an educational foundation, so you can have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider about your longevity and recovery protocols.
Common NAD+ injection conversions
Understanding your cartridge concentration is important for accurate dosing. Vivere NAD+ cartridges contain 1,000 mg of NAD+ suspended in 3 ml of solution. This means every 1 ml of liquid contains approximately 333.3 mg of NAD+.
| Volume (ml) | Approx. NAD+ dose (mg) | Typical use case |
|---|---|---|
| 0.05 ml | ~16.6 mg | Gentle introductory microdose |
| 0.10 ml | ~33.3 mg | Lower maintenance dose |
| 0.15 ml | ~50.0 mg | Standard Vivere dose (15 units) |
| 0.30 ml | 100.0 mg | Advanced NAD+ support |
Master NAD+ dose reference chart
This table breaks down the proportional maths for the standard 1,000mg / 3ml Vivere cartridge, which is designed for use with the Vivere pen. It helps you quickly reference how much to draw, and how many pen clicks that is, for your target dose. The Vivere pen is dialled in units, with one click per unit, and Vivere's guidance sets the standard 50mg dose at 15 units (15 clicks).
| Target NAD+ dose | Volume required (1,000mg/3ml) | Vivere pen clicks |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 0.03 ml | 3 clicks |
| 20 mg | 0.06 ml | 6 clicks |
| 30 mg | 0.09 ml | 9 clicks |
| 40 mg | 0.12 ml | 12 clicks |
| 50 mg | 0.15 ml | 15 clicks |
| 60 mg | 0.18 ml | 18 clicks |
| 75 mg | 0.23 ml | ~23 clicks |
| 100 mg | 0.30 ml | 30 clicks |
The Vivere pen is dialled in whole units, with one click per unit. Vivere's dosing guidance sets the standard 50mg dose at 15 units (15 clicks) from a 1,000mg cartridge. Figures are rounded to the nearest whole click, so always confirm the dose shown on your pen and follow the advice of your healthcare professional.
NAD+ calculator FAQs
How do I calculate my NAD+ injection dose?
To calculate your NAD+ dose, divide your target dose in milligrams by the concentration of your cartridge. For a Vivere 1,000mg/3ml cartridge, the concentration is 333.3mg per ml, so the standard 50mg dose is 0.15ml, which is 15 units (15 clicks) on the Vivere pen. This calculator automates those proportional considerations based on your lifestyle to give you a recommended starting point.
Is it better to inject NAD+ intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SubQ)?
Subcutaneous (SubQ) injections are generally preferred for daily or frequent NAD+ microdosing because they are more comfortable and absorb steadily into the bloodstream. Intramuscular (IM) injections are sometimes used for larger, less frequent doses, though they can cause more injection site soreness.
Does pen or cartridge strength affect my liquid dosage?
Yes. A higher concentration cartridge changes how much liquid represents your target dose. Always check the total milligrams (mg) and total millilitres (ml) on your cartridge. If you switch from another provider to Vivere's 1,000mg/3ml format, the volume you draw and the number of pen clicks will likely need to change.
Can I adjust my NAD+ dose based on how I feel?
While you can track subjective improvements in energy, focus and sleep, you should not drastically alter your dose without medical guidance. We highly recommend using blood NAD+ testing every 3 to 6 months to safely and accurately map your body's specific response to the therapy.
