Understanding your insulin syringe
Measuring your dose
Insulin syringes are used for subcutaneous injections. They are marked in Units on the insulin syringe barrel (see illustration). Insulin syringes facilitate the precise measurement of tiny amounts of liquids which are ideal for medications such as insulin that require small and accurate dosing. Unit marks are also expressed in mL’s and can be interchangeably referenced. A prescriber may write a prescription in Units or in mL’s.
Within the amount of liquid is the prescribed mg dosage of your medication (see mg chart). Milligrams (mg) is not an amount of liquid, but rather the amount of drug that is within. The conversion between units and milligrams varies depending on the concentration of the product being used.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAD+ Face Cream?
As we age, NAD+ levels in the skin decline—slowing cellular repair and contributing to dullness and fine lines. This high-potency 10% NAD+ cream helps replenish those levels, supporting renewal, energy production, and a visibly healthier complexion.
How do I use NAD+ Face Cream, and how often?
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin once daily—ideally in the evening. Allow it to fully absorb before layering other products. Use consistently for at least 8 weeks for best results.
When will I see results?
Many users notice a subtle glow within 30–60 minutes of application. Improvements in texture, tone, and fine lines typically appear within 4–8 weeks of consistent use.
Can I wear makeup over the cream?
Yes. Once the cream has fully absorbed, it creates a smooth base for makeup—and many users find their makeup applies more evenly.
What are the potential side effects?
Mild tingling or redness may occur when first using the cream—this is generally temporary. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend testing a small amount before full application. Discontinue use and consult a provider if irritation persists.
Who should avoid using NAD+ Face Cream?
It’s not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those with certain skin conditions unless approved by a healthcare provider.
Can NAD+ interact with other skincare products?
Yes, it can generally be used alongside most skincare products. However, when layering with strong actives like retinoids, AHAs, or vitamin C, you may need to adjust timing or frequency to avoid irritation. For personalized guidance, consult your Alan Health provider.
Is refrigeration required for NAD+ Face Cream?
Yes. Store in the refrigerator with the cap tightly closed. Avoid heat and direct sunlight to preserve potency.
