Embody
Partner
$99/mo
The cheapest NAD⁺ injection price we have found, and one of the few sellers offering a nasal spray — behind marketing that runs a long way past the evidence.
Pick it for: Price, dose transparency, or a needle-free option
Care Bare Rx
Editorial
$199/mo
A telehealth brand that puts NAD⁺ on the same footing as everything else it sells, with the price on the page before you hand over an email.
Pick it for: A calmer page and a provider review inside 24 hours
Our verdict
Embody is half the price at a stated dose and offers a nasal spray; Care Bare Rx costs $199/month, does not state a dose, and has a dedicated NAD⁺ product page. Embody's marketing is the loudest in our roster — 'start aging backwards' — and Care Bare Rx's is comparatively restrained.
What actually separates them
Embody and Care Bare Rx state different things about published price and states a milligram dose. Everything else they publish, they publish the same way.
Care Bare Rx costs $100 more than Embody — 101% more for the same molecule. Whether that buys anything is what the rest of this page is for.
Over twelve months that is about $1,188 at Embody against $2,388 at Care Bare Rx — a difference of $1,200.
| Embody | Care Bare Rx | |
|---|---|---|
| Published price | $99/mo | $199/mo |
| States a milligram dose | Yes | No |
Where they differ on what they tell you
Price is the easy comparison and often the least useful one. These are the places where one of these two answers a question the other leaves open.
- Milligrams
- Embody publishes how much NAD⁺ you get; Care Bare Rx does not, so $199 at Care Bare Rx buys a quantity nobody has told you.
- Routes offered
- Embody also sells a nasal spray, while Care Bare Rx offers only a subcutaneous injection — which matters if you change your mind about the format later.
- The gap, over a year
- On the injection both sell, Embody at $99 against Care Bare Rx at $199 is 101% — about $1200 a year, if you stay on either for twelve months and neither price moves.
What neither of them tells you
A comparison that only reports differences implies everything else is settled. Here it is not.
- Both sell a compounded drug and neither names the pharmacy that compounds it.
- Neither states whether any bloodwork is included, or what it would cost.
- Neither publishes which states it can ship to.
- Neither displays a LegitScript certification.
Before you choose either
Only one of these two publishes a milligram dose, which makes a straight price comparison impossible: you can tell what each costs, but only one tells you what you get. Ask the other what dose its price buys before you commit, then put both numbers through our cost-per-milligram calculator. A seller that will not answer that question has told you something.
Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
