Brightmeds review
One price, no step-up
A flat $129 a month for compounded NAD⁺ injections, with the labs fee, the consult fee and the renewal increase all explicitly removed.
Our verdict
Brightmeds publishes one price, says what it includes, and puts in writing that it will not go up. Almost nobody here does that. $129 a month covers the compounded NAD⁺, the clinical evaluation, follow-up and shipping. No lab fee, no prescribing fee, no membership, nothing to prepay. We checked that against their own weight-loss page, built from the same template, which does carry a three-month prepay tier — so the absence here is real rather than an omission. What you do not get is a milligram figure. Without it the low price still cannot be compared like for like, and their "$249 elsewhere" benchmark is their own estimate, not a measurement.

Care Bare Rx
Anyone who wants the price up front
Check Care Bare Rx availability →What it is
A telehealth service selling compounded GLP-1s, testosterone, sermorelin, glutathione and NAD⁺, plus branded Zepbound routed through LillyDirect. NAD⁺ is a self-administered injection shipped with instructions and a video, on a schedule the prescribing clinician sets.
How it works
A short online health intake, reviewed by a licensed clinician, with medication compounded by US pharmacies and shipped in unbranded packaging. Dosing guidance, side-effect support and check-ins are described as part of the plan rather than extras. If a clinician decides NAD⁺ is not appropriate for you, the consultation is refunded in full — so the failed-approval path costs nothing, which is not universal here.
Pricing transparency
$129 a month, billed monthly, month to month. The page is unusually explicit about what that does not include: no membership fee, no platform fee, no separate consultation or prescribing charge, no laboratory fee, and no first-month rate that steps up later. Shipping is free and the medication, clinician review and ongoing support are inside the price. There are no packs and no prepaid terms, which is the detail that makes the number trustworthy — the same company's weight-loss page, on the same template, prices semaglutide at $129 month-to-month against $99 on a three-month pack billed at $297 in one go, so they know how to build a prepay tier and simply did not build one for NAD⁺. Two caveats. The $129 lives on a seasonally-branded landing page rather than on the main products page, which lists NAD⁺ with no price at all. And the "save nearly 50%" comparison against "$249 per month" at other clinics is Brightmeds' own figure, footnoted as typical cash prices that may vary, not a survey.
Branded vs compounded
Compounded NAD⁺, injected at home. Brightmeds states the disclosure correctly and repeatedly: compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness, and compounded NAD⁺ is prepared by state-licensed compounding pharmacies. Those pharmacies are described as accredited and US-licensed but are never named. No milligram amount is published for the injection, and neither is the injection schedule — both are set by the clinician after the intake. That is the weakness underneath an otherwise clear offer: a flat monthly price with an unstated dose still cannot be compared against a seller who publishes one.
Pros and watch-outs
What we like
- A flat $129 a month, billed monthly, with no pack or prepaid term to reach it
- States in writing that the price does not step up at renewal
- No laboratory fee, no separate consultation or prescribing fee, no membership fee
- Medication, clinician review, dosing guidance and shipping are all inside the price
- Full refund if a clinician decides the treatment is not appropriate for you
- LegitScript seal issued against its own domain and carried on every page
Watch-outs
- No milligram dose published, so the price cannot be compared per unit
- The injection schedule is not published either — it is set after the intake
- The compounding pharmacy is not named
- The price appears only on a seasonal landing page; the main products page lists NAD⁺ with no price
- The "$249 per month elsewhere" comparison is the company's own unsourced estimate
- State availability is described as varying, with no list published
Best for
Someone who wants a compounded NAD⁺ injection at a predictable monthly cost and is tired of headline prices that turn out to need a quarter paid up front.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who will not inject something without knowing the milligrams, or who wants bloodwork behind the dose — there is no lab fee here because there are no labs.

Frequently asked
- How much does Brightmeds NAD⁺ cost?
- $129 a month, billed monthly. That covers the compounded NAD⁺, the clinical evaluation, clinician follow-up, ongoing support and free shipping. There is no membership fee, no separate consultation or prescribing fee, and no laboratory fee for this program.
- Is $129 an introductory rate?
- No, and they say so directly: "This isn't a promotional first month that jumps later — there are no step-ups, no renewal increases, and no surprise adjustments." We also checked the structure rather than taking the sentence at face value. There is no three-month pack and no prepaid tier on the NAD⁺ plan, while the same company's semaglutide page does have one, at $99 a month on a pack billed $297 at once. A seller that wanted to bury a cheaper prepay tier would have built one here too.
- How is the NAD⁺ given?
- As an injection you administer yourself at home, on a schedule your clinician sets. Everything ships together with step-by-step instructions, and there is a demonstration video. What is not published is the milligram amount per injection or how many injections a month includes, so the monthly price cannot be turned into a cost per dose.
- Are there lab tests?
- No. The page states that no laboratory fee is required for this program, which keeps the cost down and also means the dose is chosen from your intake rather than from bloodwork. Some sellers include labs and use them to guide dosing; this is the cheaper model and it is a genuine trade-off rather than an oversight.
- Is compounded NAD⁺ FDA-approved?
- No. Compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness, and Brightmeds prints that on the page rather than hiding it. The medication is prepared by state-licensed US compounding pharmacies, which Brightmeds does not name, and is prescribed only if a licensed clinician decides it is appropriate after reviewing your intake.
- Is Brightmeds expensive compared with other NAD⁺ injection providers providers?
- Brightmeds publishes a starting figure of $129/mo. Across the 116 NAD⁺ injection providers providers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $17.97 to $799 with a median of $175, which puts Brightmeds below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 33 NAD⁺ injection providers providers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
