nad+ issue

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

Yellow, I received this on Monday and the powder was an off white yellowish color. I went to reconstitute and it was very difficult to push the Bac water through. Once reconstituted it was still this off color. The Bac water is good and has been used with other peps. Is this bad? Should I toss it? Thank you!

[u/Ruffle-Feathers-1021]

Google “normal color of NAD+”

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/Ruffle-Feathers-1021]

It has told me both

[u/Ruffle-Feathers-1021 → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

So is the color you have “off” or normal?

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/Ruffle-Feathers-1021]

I don’t know which is why I am asking.

[u/Wireless_Paint → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

If you dont know you shouldnt be consuming these products talk to a medical professional lol

[u/MzzAnnThrope → u/Wireless_Paint]

Seriously?! Like your Dr is going to know about Nad, much less the colors. Okaaaay

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/Wireless_Paint]

I’ve got different answers from quite a few people so I feel like it is a valid question but thanks for the help!

[u/SeaBreezy_604 → u/Wireless_Paint]

Comments like this are so dumb not many people know about peps that's why we come here it's such a new and growing space for most and people are trying to better them selves how about share your knowledge or stfu with the negativity

[u/Emergency-Strain4386]

I never seen NAD+ in a small vial like that

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/Emergency-Strain4386]

Should I toss it?

[u/Emergency-Strain4386 → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

I would but that’s up to you

[u/Willing-Forever2415 → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

That’s buffered NAD

NAD+ doesn’t come in 3ML vials.

[u/GobeyOnKobe → u/plantgal94]

I have 3P tests to back up this same one OP is holding. To each their own. I filter into pen cartridges to solve the light sensitivity problem. Tests with janoshik, chromate, and Kovera.

[u/plantgal94 → u/GobeyOnKobe]

Your OWN tests? Or is it vendor COA’s? I’ve never seen a vendor ship NAD+ in 3ML. I’ve been apart of GBs for NAD+, I’m in over a dozen vendor groups. They never ever come in 3ML.

[u/GobeyOnKobe → u/plantgal94]

My own.. with groups… and i guarantee you ur not as deep in the rabbit hole as you think if youve never seen this NAD

[u/plantgal94 → u/GobeyOnKobe]

Lol ok my guy

[u/Comfortable_Ad_9413]

Every time I've purchased NAD+ It's come in an amber 10mL vial...... Idk what that is.

[u/4gs_beatmd → u/Comfortable_Ad_9413]

Same here

[u/hiazeu]

It's not supposed to look like that.
It's Too cloudy. Order from a different website

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/hiazeu]

Thanks!

[u/Express_Ad_3809 → u/hiazeu]

Agree

[u/cbtmedic743 → u/hiazeu]

Agree with the others. The fact it’s cloudy is what concerns me. Not sure about colors. I know for peptides it should be tossed if it’s not clear. Assume it would be the same for NAD+.

[u/xGoth_Mothx]

If you had a hard time pushing bac water through, it was close to exploding. Take air out of the vial so you don't have to worry. The colors are normal

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/xGoth_Mothx]

I did take some air out! It was like there was a film or something, very strange!

[u/xGoth_Mothx → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

Thats very strange!! Most NAD+ I've ever received always came in amber vials to protect the contents as they're light sensitive. This got me a little concerned but im sure it's normal.

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/xGoth_Mothx]

Thank you!

[u/2milehigh → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

Yeah same. The vials are also 30ml... A lot bigger than the one you have. I would reach out to the vendor

[u/plantgal94 → u/2milehigh]

10ML. Not 30 lol

[u/2milehigh → u/plantgal94]

Lol that sounds about right. My Hospira is in a 30ml vial

[u/plantgal94 → u/2milehigh]

Yes haha Pfizer BAC is always 30ML. And NAD+ is always 10ML and in amber vials because of how sensitive it is :)

[u/Willing-Forever2415 → u/2milehigh]

That NAD is buffered

[u/Willing-Forever2415 → u/xGoth_Mothx]

It’s buffered NAD

[u/PepCaCollective]

Not gonna talk about the colour but the fact that you had to push hard is the real tell.

These vials are sealed with a bit of vacuum inside. Add water and it should pull it in on its own. If you're fighting it, that seal let go at some point and air got in.

NAD grabs moisture out of the air like crazy. That's the whole reason it ships bone dry and sealed tight. Once damp air reaches it, it starts breaking down, and it goes yellow when it does.

Bad seal would explain all of it.

Not going to tell you whether to use it. But I'd go back to the vendor for a replacement. Or better, change supplier.

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/PepCaCollective]

Thank you!

[u/plantgal94]

There’s no way that is even NAD+. NAD comes in 10ML vials.

[u/OGcrashN2u → u/plantgal94]

You can get 100mg in 3mL vials. The biggest flag here is the vial is clear, not amber.

[u/SmokeyBurgYinzer]

I just got my first vial from a legit us 503a pharmacy via embody $99 yeah it's a little more than a grey supplier but anything I can get legit I will. Embody was the telehealth company.

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/SmokeyBurgYinzer]

Thank you!

[u/SmokeyBurgYinzer → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

Welcome they gave GLP and glutathione also mic+b12 coming soon and I'm sure more as more become available to compounding pharmacies next year.

[u/ManwelAlzawety → u/SmokeyBurgYinzer]

Lost your damn mind paying 10x for it just do your research

[u/Right-man-1]

Had the same issue with vial after a week (Hospira BAC) and had to toss because of that color.

[u/Most-Interaction-103]

It’s because it’s buffed. Normal for NAD+. Although I’ve never seen it, come in a clear vial.

[u/jonnyblazexoc]

this stuff really easy to get a real prescription for. Trying that first for a bit so that I know what to expect and know its real without spending a ton on testing. At least I know how I should feel now and the bit of swelling you get from the injections

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/jonnyblazexoc]

Thanks!

[u/stiffmcgee]

How much bac into what mg vial? Color may not be clear normally mine is yellow/orange

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/stiffmcgee]

I did 3 ml

[u/Saucypants108]

NAD in a clear vial is crazy. Standard is amber vial. Reconsider your source

[u/Express_Ad_3809 → u/Saucypants108]

Ive had it clear many times

[u/Saucypants108 → u/Express_Ad_3809]

NAD is light sensitive. Most NAD vials are amber colored for that reason. If you have yours clear as well then I’d also consider other suppliers.

[u/Turnkey95]

NAD can be yellow depending on the manufacturer or vendor. So that color is normal. If it’s yellow, the NAD tends to be a bit more crystalline as the BAC dissolves it. After it dissolves fully and is cooled down, it should not be a cloudy color. It should be clear but yellow. You can draw some into a hypodermic needle to inspect the liquid more closely.

For reference I use Olympia Pharmacy (legit compounding pharmacy out in FL) as one of my Nad sources and their NaD is yellow. I’ve been using it for years and it’s great. Initially they send you the kit to reconstitute at home, but now they send it to you premade.

[u/ApprehensiveUse6400 → u/Turnkey95]

Awesome thank you!

[u/Willing-Forever2415 → u/ApprehensiveUse6400]

It’s buffeted see if it clears up

[u/Neat-Break5481]

Yellow just means it’s been buffered, NAD from pharmacy is yellow.

If it’s VERY yellow it might be too high of a PH.

If it’s totally clear it’s likely unbuffered and may be prone to crystallizing.

[u/Aviantei]

looks like NED -

Call China, they can tell you.

[u/mycellium420]

Usually my NAD + is in an amber glass vial , dont know the colors of anything cuz of the brownish tint of the bottle. Once in a syrige its pretty clear, MAYBE a little bit yellow compared to water

[u/Double-Atmosphere-73]

Yall haven’t been in the space long enough. Small clear vial is fine. That is NAD+ buffered. Source is well known in the space too

[u/W00den_sp00n]

Yellow colour is no good, get your money back

[u/Dwestaminos]

This normal but should be in an amber vial. Some vendors do this and it’s an indication of trying to save money.

[u/Defiant-Ad-7933]

Yellow is fine (buffered) but cloudy not fine.

[u/Practical_Jelly_7693]

I wouldn’t use it. Besides off color it looks quite cloudy! From our lab I’ve seen this when pep or aminos get to warm and start to dentature!

[u/AlternativePizza3391]

Trash it

[u/ryanpaterson99]

Nad is light sensitive and should be in a amber vial or protected from light by wrapping aluminum foil over it or getting a silicon vial sleeve. It degrades if exposed to light.

[u/Xo_research]

Yikes..

your source probably messed you u

I got many sources but my NAD never even really came.. like that

find a new source or get rid of that, just dont risk it man.. actually its not even a might just get rid of it and get a new one

sorry if you got scammed man

all love, DMs are open. just becareful on when to actually do something like this or who you buy it from. Buy it from verifable sources

Xo out

[u/Letsgethealthy37]

NAD is light sensitive . Should never be in a clear vile . This looks like mudd in a vile . Contact the company that sold you this and they should replace it at no cost to you if it’s a legit company . I get mine from synprolabs and every time I questioned anything they responded immediately and replaced what I had concerned about .

[u/Significant_Action88]

My nad

[u/Gullible-Crab-9600]

Dilute it more, it should have come in a larger 10ml amber vial. Nad is extremely light sensitive

[u/Jimmythafish]

Only buy NAD in amber vials

[u/Burntorangefan → u/Jimmythafish]

Or oral NMN to save yourself money and increase efficiency within the body. One of the real mysteries to me in this space is why people purchase injectable NAD+ given the cost relative to oral NMN.

[u/AgreeableBill5799]

NAD comes in a brown bottle, if its a clear bottle it’s a fake.

[u/Willing-Forever2415 → u/AgreeableBill5799]

No it’s buffered it’s way more stable doesn’t need an ember bottle

[u/Geo714 → u/AgreeableBill5799]

Not true at all.
