Will Qualia NAD+ cause flushing?
The nicotinic acid (niacin) form of vitamin B3 can cause flushing when taken in amounts substantially more than the daily value (DV) amount. Qualia NAD+ contains nicotinic acid, but in an amount below the level where flushing has occurred in studies. The other common form of vitamin B3, niacinamide, does not cause flushing. NIAGEN® Nicotinamide Riboside, a next generation vitamin B3, also does not cause flushing.*

More Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn’t NMN used in Qualia NAD+?
The FDA has determined that NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is excluded from the definition of dietary supplement, which essentially means it is not allowed to be sold as an ingredient used in a dietary supplement. NMN is not in our product because Qualia NAD+ is a dietary supplement.
Is it okay to drink alcohol with Qualia NAD+?
Qualia NAD+ does not contain any ingredients reported to interact negatively with alcohol.*
What time of day is best to take Qualia NAD+?
The best time to take Qualia NAD+ is near the start of your day. Circadian (i.e., body clock) research in animals suggests that NAD+ boosting compounds offer better support for metabolic health when taken at the beginning of the day.
What's the difference between Qualia NAD+ product and Qualia Mitochondria+?
Qualia NAD+ is a 2-capsule-per-day product that exclusively supports NAD pathways and helps bolster NAD levels. Qualia Mitochondria+ requires up to 8 capsules per day and provides support for NAD while offering broader support for mitochondrial function, autophagy, stress management, and cellular metabolism.
What should I expect when I take Qualia NAD+?
Qualia NAD+ is designed to work beneath the surface (it's a cellular health supplement), so its primary purpose is not to deliver results you'd feel.
What is NAD+ and why is it important?
NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell in your body: it’s involved in hundreds of metabolic processes. NAD+ is most well-known for being involved in turning the energy in food into cellular energy (it’s a key player in metabolism) and regulating cellular functions related to maintenance, repair, and stress.
How often should I take Qualia NAD+?
The intermittent fasting window I follow means that the first food I eat isn’t till later in the day. When should I take Qualia NAD+?
It’s fine to take Qualia NAD+ without food, and it contains less than 1 calorie, so it is fine to take before eating your first food of the day.*
Is it okay to split the amount of Qualia NAD+ and take some earlier and some later in the day?
What is Qualia NAD+?
Qualia NAD+ is a daily supplement that is uniquely formulated to support the body's innate capacity to produce, utilize, recycle NAD+, and ultimately sustain healthy NAD+ levels. This is important because NAD+ levels gradually decline with age, and adequate levels of NAD+ are needed to support cellular energy production and to keep cells healthy.*
