NAD+ 500 mg
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell. Researchers use it to study how cells transfer energy, maintain metabolic balance and coordinate repair and signalling processes.
Why do researchers study NAD+?
Cellular energy
How cells move energy between metabolic reactions.
Mitochondria
Energy production and the balance between NAD+ and NADH.
Cell maintenance
NAD+-dependent enzymes involved in repair and regulation.
Metabolic signalling
Communication between nutrient status, stress responses and cell activity.
What is NAD+?
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, usually shortened to NAD+, is a small cellular coenzyme rather than a peptide. It can accept and transfer electrons, which makes it central to energy metabolism.
NAD+ also serves as a working material for enzymes involved in DNA maintenance, protein regulation and cellular signalling.
A link between energy and cell maintenance
Cells continually convert NAD+ to NADH and back again while processing nutrients and producing energy. This cycle connects glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle and mitochondrial energy production.
Other enzymes consume NAD+ during signalling and repair reactions. Research therefore examines both the total amount of NAD+ and how it moves between cellular compartments.
What have studies found?
Energy transfer
NAD+ accepts electrons during metabolic reactions and carries them in the form of NADH, helping researchers follow how cells process energy.
Metabolic balance
The NAD+/NADH balance is studied as an indicator of how mitochondria and other cellular systems respond to nutrients and stress.
Sirtuins, PARPs and CD38
NAD+ is used by several enzyme families that connect cellular energy status with DNA maintenance, protein regulation and signalling.
NAD+ homeostasis
Researchers examine how NAD+ production, recycling and consumption change across tissues and experimental models over time.

Product details at a glance
01Research areas⌄
NAD+ is studied in cellular energy transfer, mitochondrial function, redox balance, DNA maintenance and enzyme signalling.
02What the package contains⌄
One sealed laboratory vial containing 500 mg of freeze-dried NAD+ research material.
03Storage of the freeze-dried product⌄
Keep the sealed freeze-dried vial at −20 °C, dry and protected from light. Let the closed vial reach room temperature before opening to limit condensation.
04Storage after mixing with BAC water⌄
After preparation with bacteriostatic water, keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C and protected from light. Do not freeze; minimize repeated warming and cooling.
05Why the vial can look different⌄
Five hundred milligrams of freeze-dried material can form a compact layer or cake at the bottom of the vial. Its appearance can vary with the freeze-drying process.
