NAD pH level

[HistLady]

I mixed up some NAD that is supposed to be buffered, then checked its pH. The reading came out at 3, which strikes me as quite acidic. I'd appreciate hearing from people with more experience on this.

• pH Sensitivity: Although this molecule is acidic by nature, how well it holds up depends heavily on pH. In solutions that are strongly acidic or strongly alkaline, NAD+ degrades quickly; a neutral pH is where it remains most stable.

No idea on the science, but one thing I can tell you: injecting it stings. I dilute mine heavily and that makes it far more bearable.

Haha, I've nicknamed that one "the stinger". My very first dose came from a 500mg vial mixed with just 2ML BAC. It genuinely stung like a bee. Lesson learned.

I picked up a vial with the same mg amount - how many ml of bac would you recommend for reconstitution?

Using 3ML worked out better compared to 2ML. That's the amount I'd recommend as a starting point, and since these typically come in 10ML vials (I believe that's the standard size), you could increase the volume further if the stinging feels too strong. Also, injecting into the butt hurts less than the belly.
