Description
NAD+ Overview
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every living cell and one of the most important molecules in cellular metabolism. It is a central subject in energy-metabolism and longevity research due to its declining levels with age.
Central Role in Energy Metabolism
NAD+ acts as an electron carrier in the redox reactions of glycolysis, the TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, making it essential to the production of cellular ATP — a core focus of bioenergetics research.
Sirtuin and PARP Activity
NAD+ is a required substrate for sirtuins and PARP enzymes, which regulate DNA repair, gene expression and stress responses. Research studies how NAD+ availability governs these longevity-associated pathways.
Aging and NAD+ Decline
Cellular NAD+ levels decline with age, and research investigates how restoring NAD+ influences mitochondrial function, metabolic health and age-related cellular changes.

A note on NAD+ purity. NAD+ is inherently unstable and is typically present alongside its own degradation products — ADP-ribose, nicotinamide, NMN and AMP. This is expected for the compound rather than a sign of contamination, which is why NAD+ assays below the purity figures seen for our stable peptides. The lab notes this directly on the certificate.
