Description and specifications
Description
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme in all living cells and acts as an electron carrier in redox reactions. In research models, the molecule is investigated for its role in mitochondrial energy production, sirtuin activity, DNA repair and cellular ageing. Supplied as a high-purity lyophilised powder for laboratory use. For research use only (in vitro / laboratory use). Not for consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Research summary
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a central coenzyme found in every cell in the body. It is not a peptide, but a small helper molecule that cells use to convert nutrients into energy. NAD+ is also needed by enzymes involved in DNA repair and cellular maintenance. Researchers have taken an interest in NAD+ because levels appear to fall with age, and they are exploring whether this is connected with ageing processes.
Level of evidence: Much of what is described as "NAD+ research" in humans has actually been carried out with precursors such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), not with NAD+ directly. These precursor studies fairly consistently show that NAD+ levels in the blood rise, but the effects on performance, health and ageing remain unclear and partly mixed. Direct NAD+ (for example given intravenously) has very limited controlled documentation in humans. Much of the basic research is also preclinical (cells and animals). The content here is intended for research and education only, and is not health advice.

Read the full guide (13 studies)NAD+, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
NAD+ exists in two forms that cells switch between (NAD+ and NADH), and this switching drives energy production in the mitochondria. In addition, NAD+ is "consumed" by enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs, which help regulate genes and repair damaged DNA. The body makes NAD+ from, among other things, precursors (building blocks) such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). Because the NAD+ molecule itself is large and poorly absorbed through the gut, the vast majority of human studies have used these precursors to raise NAD+ levels indirectly, rather than giving NAD+ directly.
What is being researched?
- How cells convert nutrients into energy (energy metabolism)
- The activity of sirtuins and enzymes that repair DNA
- Changes in NAD+ levels with increasing age
- Whether the precursors NR and NMN can raise NAD+ levels in blood and muscle
- Physical capacity, metabolic markers and safety when using precursors
