Preparation Wash hands thoroughly using soap and water before handling supplies Clean the vial stopper with an alcohol swab and allow it to air dry Choose an injection site such as the abdomen (at least 2 inches from the navel), outer thigh, or back of the upper arm Clean the selected area with an alcohol swab and allow the skin to fully dry before injecting Needle Selection Use a fine, short insulin syringe (2831 gauge) for comfort and precision A needle length of 5/16 to 1/2 inch (812 mm) is generally suitable for subcutaneous injections Standard U-100 insulin syringes (1 mL) are appropriate for the typical injection volumes used in this protocol Injection Procedure Gently pinch a fold of skin between your fingers to target subcutaneous tissue Insert the needle at approximately a 45 angle into the pinched skin (For very short needles, a 90 angle may be used if appropriate) Do not aspirate when performing subcutaneous injections Inject the solution slowly and steadily over 510 seconds to minimize discomfort After completing the injection, wait a few seconds before removing the needle at the same angle Apply light pressure with a clean swab or bandage if needed avoid rubbing the area Dispose of the used syringe immediately in a proper sharps container Site Rotation Rotate injection sites regularly to help prevent irritation, soreness, or tissue buildup Alternate between different areas (left/right abdomen or different quadrants) when injecting daily The abdomen is commonly preferred due to its consistent fat layer and lower sensitivity The outer thigh and upper arm can also be used as alternative sites Volume Considerations Typical injection volumes range from 0.30 mL to 0.60 mL per dose Subcutaneous tissue can generally accommodate up to 1.5 mL per injection comfortably For higher doses, splitting the dose into two separate injection sites may improve comfort and absorption Recommended Source We recommend Fit Aminos for high-purity NAD+ 500mg Why Fit Aminos
