Understanding your insulin syringe

Disclaimer: This information is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for medical advice. Your prescribed injection method and dosage are determined by your doctor and provided by your pharmacy. Always review the dosing instructions included with your medication and consult your doctor with any questions.

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.


Example: 2.5 mg/ml = 2.5 mg of NAD+ Patches in every 1.0 ml or 100 Insulin Units.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NAD+ and why is it important?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of your body. It’s essential for energy production, cellular repair, and brain function—but levels can decline by more than 50% with age, stress, and illness. Supplementing NAD+ helps restore focus, energy, and resilience.

I don’t feel anything after I apply the NAD+ patch. Is it still doing its job?

Yes — it’s still working, even if you don’t feel immediate effects. NAD+ levels decline with age and stress, so it can take time to replenish your stores before noticeable changes occur. That’s why we recommend starting with one patch per week for four hours.

Many users report feeling more energy, mental clarity, improved mood, better sleep, and faster recovery — but everyone responds differently. Lack of immediate effects doesn’t mean the patch isn’t doing its job. Your body may simply need time to restore NAD+ levels.

What’s included with the NAD+ Patches kit?

  • 6 Iontophoresis Patches
  • NAD+ Solution (400mg/mL) – dropper bottle
  • Sterile Saline Ampules

What is IontoPatch™?

  • A low-level electric iontophoresis device that safely and painlessly delivers medication through the skin into tissue.

How do I use it?

Apply 20 drops of NAD+ solution to the (+) side of the patch and 1 mL of saline to the (–) side. Wear one patch weekly for at least 4 hours. Extended wear may continue for additional absorption, though most delivery occurs in the first 4 hours.

How often should I wear the NAD+ Patch?

Standard protocol is to wear the patch once per week for four hours. Depending on your age, NAD+ levels, and health goals, you may elect to use it more or less often.

Where should I place the NAD+ Patch?

Ideally, place the patch where hair will not interfere with mild adhesive. Common locations are upper arm, abdomen, back, and thigh.

What are potential side effects?

  • Mild skin irritation, redness, or itching at the application site
  • Tingling or warmth during use due to the electric current
  • Rarely, allergic reactions or minor electrochemical burns with misuse

If skin irritation occurs, consider changing placement on the body (for example, alternating arms each week), to minimize irritation, if any. If irritation continues to occur, apply an over-the-counter itch cream, preferably with hydrocortisone.

Can I exercise while wearing my NAD+ patch?

Yes. Our NAD+ patches are highly flexible and adhere well during normal daily activities, including exercise. They're designed to withstand significant motion and weight-bearing exercises.

Is IontoPatch™ hypoallergenic?

Yes, IontoPatch™ is manufactured with latex-free components and is hypoallergenic, though rare skin irritation may occur.

How do I remove an NAD+ Patch?

To ensure it doesn’t come free, the adhesive used for the patch is strong. At the end of four hours, you can soak the patch for a few minutes with warm water to make the removal easier.
