Overview

NAD+ is a fundamental coenzyme in cellular energy metabolism, serving as the primary electron carrier in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and as an essential substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1-7), PARPs, and CD38/CD157 enzymes. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age, impairing sirtuin-mediated gene regulation, mitochondrial function, and DNA repair capacity. The 500mg product contains the same NAD+ compound as the 1000mg biofermented version at a lower quantity. See the NAD 1000mg entry for comprehensive research details on NAD+ biology, the role of NAD+ decline in aging, and the therapeutic potential of NAD+ restoration.

Key Research Findings

  • Yoshino et al. (2011) showed NAD+ restoration normalizes glucose tolerance and mitochondrial function in aged mice.
  • Gomes et al. (2013) demonstrated declining NAD+ causes pseudohypoxia through disrupted SIRT1-HIF1alpha signaling.
  • Verdin (2015) reviewed NAD+ as a central regulator of aging, metabolism, and neurodegeneration.
  • Rajman et al. (2018) comprehensively reviewed the in vivo evidence for therapeutic NAD+ boosting.

Dosage in Research

IV NAD+ protocols in clinical settings use 250-750 mg infusions. The 500mg vial provides a standard research quantity.

Dosage information is derived from published research literature and is presented for educational purposes only. This is not medical advice. All products are for laboratory research use only.

Storage & Handling

Store lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder at -20°C to 4°C in a dry environment protected from light. Unreconstituted peptide is stable for extended periods when stored properly.

Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water or an appropriate solvent, store at 2-8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the Certificate of Analysis. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

A Certificate of Analysis documenting purity, identity, and recommended storage conditions is included with every order.

Frequently Asked Questions
