NAD+ (500 IU Vial)

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an endogenous coenzyme found in all living cells. Studied extensively for roles in mitochondrial energy metabolism, DNA repair, sirtuin activation, and cellular aging processes.

Research highlights

An endogenous coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair.
Serves as a substrate for PARP enzymes and sirtuins.
Studied in the context of age-related decline in cellular NAD+ levels.

How this works

NAD+ is a critical cofactor in cellular redox reactions and oxidative phosphorylation. It serves as a substrate for PARP enzymes (DNA repair), sirtuins (epigenetic regulation and metabolic adaptation), and CD38 (calcium signaling). Research links NAD+ repletion to improved mitochondrial function, reduced oxidative stress markers, and modulation of inflammatory pathways.

Storage

  • Lyophilized: store at 2–8 °C (refrigerator) or −20 °C (freezer) in dry, dark conditions.
  • Reconstituted: refrigerate at 2–8 °C; use within 14 days; avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
  • NAD+ is sensitive to light and oxidation — keep vials sealed and protected.
