What NAD+ Is
Unlike most of our catalogue, NAD+ is not a peptide. It is a dinucleotide: two nucleotides, one containing nicotinamide and one containing adenine, joined through their phosphate groups. In cells it carries electrons in redox reactions, cycling between its oxidized form (NAD+) and its reduced form (NADH), and it is consumed as a substrate by three enzyme families: the sirtuin deacetylases, the PARP enzymes and CD38.
Laboratory applications include measuring NAD+ to NADH ratios, sirtuin deacetylase and PARP enzyme activity assays, and studies of the salvage and de novo pathways that cells use to synthesise NAD+.

Choosing an NAD+ Vial Size
Every size is the same compound supplied to the same specification; the sizes differ only in how much material each vial holds. Larger vials carry a lower cost per mg, and the table above shows the current cost per 100 mg for each size. Smaller vials suit pilot work, or study designs that call for several separately opened vials rather than one large one.
NAD+ and Mitochondrial Research Peptides
NAD+ is often used alongside peptides studied in mitochondrial research, such as MOTS-c, a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA, and SS-31. Our overview of mitochondrial-derived peptides covers that wider group.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is NAD+?
NAD+ is the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a pyridine dinucleotide coenzyme that carries electrons in redox reactions and is a substrate for sirtuins, PARP enzymes and CD38.
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. NAD+ is a dinucleotide made of two linked nucleotides. It is listed with our research peptides because it is widely used in the same laboratories.
What sizes of NAD+ are available?
NAD+ is supplied in several lyophilized vial sizes. The table at the top of this page lists every size with its current price and cost per 100 mg, and each size also has its own product page.
What purity is the NAD+ supplied at?
It is supplied as a lyophilized powder at 99%+ purity, verified by independent HPLC and mass spectrometry testing.
How should NAD+ be stored?
Store the lyophilized powder at −20 °C and protect it from light.
Is this NAD+ for human use?
No. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, diagnosis, treatment or consumption.
Where do orders ship from?
All orders are dispatched from California by UPS or USPS with tracking. Shipping is free on every order.
