Also known as · Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide — the coenzyme central to cellular electron-transfer, sirtuin signalling, and redox biology.
Chemistry quick-facts
- CAS
- 53-84-9
- Formula
- C21H27N7O14P2
- MW
- 663.43 Da
- Status
- NAD⁺ is a naturally occurring dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide. Precursor molecules (NR, NMN) are supplement-regulated in most jurisdictions. Research-grade NAD⁺ is supplied by Omega Grade for laboratory work only.
- Purity (HPLC)
- ≥ 99.0%
Mechanism of action
Substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, CD38; central redox cofactor (NAD⁺/NADH) in electron-transport chain.
Research context
NAD⁺ is an essential dinucleotide coenzyme found in all living cells, central to cellular energy metabolism, redox chemistry, sirtuin-mediated signalling, and DNA-repair enzymes (PARPs).
NAD⁺ research has expanded rapidly with the recognition of its role in aging, metabolic function, and cellular senescence. NAD⁺ precursors (NR, NMN) are widely studied as oral bioavailable alternatives.

FAQ
Why isn't this a peptide?+
NAD⁺ is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide. It is included in the Omega Grade catalogue because it is commonly used alongside mitochondrial and metabolic peptides in research protocols.
This page summarises the research literature on NAD⁺ 500 mg kit for in vitro laboratory investigation only. It is not medical advice, not a treatment recommendation, and not a substitute for a qualified physician. Material is sold for analytical chemistry and cell-culture research, not for human or veterinary administration.

- BiomarkerVitamin D 25 ng/mL
25-hydroxyvitamin D at 25 ng/mL meets the standard "sufficient" threshold but sits well below where most contemporary research suggests optimal vitamin D status. What that means and how to interpret your number.
- BiomarkerGGT 60 U/L
Gamma-glutamyl transferase at 60 U/L is mildly elevated and gets routinely attributed to alcohol. Research literature places GGT closer to the metabolic-syndrome / oxidative-stress axis — what your number actually means.
- BiomarkerRDW 14.5%
Red cell distribution width at 14.5% is at the top of the standard reference range. Recent research has identified RDW as one of the strongest single-marker predictors of all-cause mortality — well beyond what its anaemia-screening role suggests.
