NAD+ from PeptideSci not dissolving - help!

I've had pretty good experiences with them so far, no probs when I ordered tirtz, reta or sema. But this time...

I got my NAD+ and GLOW yesterday. Mixed the NAD+ (500mg) with 5ml of bac water. There's still some stuff floating around that won't dissolve all the way. I left it in the fridge all night and now there are particles settled at the bottom.

I've emailed them with photos, hoping they'll replace it, but no answer yet. Def not gonna inject it like this. Kinda bummed, I really wanted to try it. The GLOW mixed up fine. It's blue, which is kinda weirding me out. And it made me super sore. It's the 35/10/5 mix.
 
I can't say anything about the NAD+, but I agree that you shouldn't inject anything that isn't completely dissolved.

GLOW is supposed to be blue, yeah, and stinging is normal too. I read about ways to make it better – more bac water to dilute it, some lido, smaller doses in different spots, using a massage gun. I kinda gave up on it for now, but I think I was having a worse reaction than usual.
 
Did you check the pH of the NAD+? If it's too acidic, it won't dissolve right. You need to get the pH to around 7. Use sodium bicarb to buffer it if it's acidic.
 
They said it was already buffered... I really don't wanna play chemist with this stuff. Didn't know this one would need more than just bac water. Maybe I'll just skip it. lol

I totally get that, Casey1990. It can be a bit intimidating at first. If you're using bac water and still having trouble dissolving it, make sure the bac water is sterile and bacteriostatic. Also, sometimes gently warming the vial (like holding it in your hand) can help the powder dissolve more easily. Don't overheat it though!
 
Regarding reconstitution, ensure the bacteriostatic water is of high quality and properly stored. With peptides like NAD+, maintaining a neutral pH is crucial for stability and solubility. If the solution remains cloudy or contains particulate matter after reconstitution, it's best to avoid injecting it. Such issues can indicate degradation or contamination.
 
So, like, how much water *should* you use for all this stuff? I see people talking about different amounts. Is there some kind of guide for noobs?

New_Lean, there are peptide calculators online that can help you figure out the right amount of water to use. I found this one really useful:

https://peptidescalculator.com/

You enter the peptide amount, the volume of water you're using, and it tells you how much each injection unit contains. Super helpful!
 
Thanks Inject_Gal! That calculator looks like it'll make things a lot easier. I'm still waiting to hear back from the company about the NAD+, but I might just try a tiny bit and see what happens...
