NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
THIS IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. SOLD FOR RESEARCH ONLY!
NAD⁺ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme used in laboratory research to explore redox metabolism, mitochondrial energy production, and cellular aging mechanisms. Functioning as a pivotal electron transporter, NAD⁺ cycles between its oxidized (NAD⁺) and reduced (NADH) states to facilitate key biochemical pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis.
In addition to its metabolic roles, NAD⁺ acts as a substrate for regulatory enzymes like sirtuins and PARPs (poly ADP-ribose polymerases), which are involved in DNA repair, epigenetic regulation, and cellular stress responses. These functions make NAD⁺ a central molecule in anti-aging, neuroprotection, and metabolic resilience research. All uses are limited to non-clinical, in-vitro or in-vivo animal models.

6 reviews for NAD+
1. Redox Biochemistry and Energy Metabolism
NAD⁺ is central to mitochondrial energy production, acting as an electron acceptor in the citric acid cycle, glycolysis, and oxidative phosphorylation. Its ratio with NADH serves as a readout for metabolic balance and cellular redox status in experimental systems.
2. Sirtuin and PARP Enzyme Studies
As a required substrate, NAD⁺ activates sirtuins (SIRT1–SIRT7) and PARP enzymes, key regulators of longevity, DNA repair, and apoptosis. Preclinical studies use NAD⁺ to quantify changes in gene expression, chromatin remodeling, and stress response markers.
3. Neurodegenerative and Anti-Aging Research
NAD⁺ is commonly studied in aging models for its role in neuronal protection, mitochondrial maintenance, and NAD⁺-dependent signaling. Restoration of NAD⁺ levels is correlated with improved cognitive performance, mitochondrial biogenesis, and decreased cellular senescence in animal models.
4. Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Profiling
High-throughput omics studies utilize NAD⁺ modulation to examine systemic changes in gene expression and metabolic pathways. This includes pathways associated with immune regulation, cellular repair mechanisms, and oxidative stress resilience.
Q: What is NAD⁺ used for in research?
A: NAD⁺ is used to investigate cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and aging mechanisms in preclinical studies.
Q: Is NAD⁺ the same as NADH?
A: No. NAD⁺ is the oxidized form, while NADH is the reduced form. Both are involved in redox reactions that power energy metabolism.
Q: Why is NAD⁺ important in anti-aging research?
A: NAD⁺ activates enzymes like sirtuins and PARPs that regulate DNA integrity, gene expression, and stress responses, which are critical for longevity studies.
Q: Can NAD⁺ be used in humans?
A: No. This product is strictly for research use in in-vitro or in-vivo experimental models and is not approved for human or clinical applications.
Q: What systems is NAD⁺ commonly studied in?
A: NAD⁺ is frequently examined in neurodegeneration, muscle metabolism, mitochondrial signaling, and metabolic syndrome models.

Storage & Handling
All peptides are supplied as sterile, lyophilized powder and are stable when handled correctly.
- On arrival: Store vials in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
- Long-term (powder): For optimal longevity, keep lyophilized peptides refrigerated to help maintain integrity.
- After reconstitution: Use an appropriate research diluent (for example, BAC water). Store the reconstituted solution in the refrigerator and use within 20–30 days for best stability.
Note: Minimize exposure to moisture and repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Follow your institution's safety procedures when handling research materials.
Peak Lab Peptides maintains quality-control processes and routinely performs third-party testing to support purity and identity verification. COAs are available upon request for applicable batches. Documentation may vary depending on production timelines.
We aim to make batch-level documentation available whenever possible. Our goal is to expand COA access across the full catalog as production capacity grows.
