NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a dinucleotide coenzyme essential to cellular metabolism and a substrate for several classes of regulatory enzymes. As an electron carrier in the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, NAD+ is directly involved in ATP production in mitochondria. In its role as a substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1-7) and PARPs, it links metabolic activity to gene expression regulation, chromatin remodeling, and DNA repair — functions that have made it a central subject of aging and longevity research.
Preclinical studies have investigated the effects of NAD+ on mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and neuronal survival in animal models. Research has also examined its role in circadian rhythm regulation, with NAD+ levels demonstrating oscillation tied to the molecular clock. Studies examining CD38 as an NAD+-consuming enzyme have informed understanding of NAD+ depletion with age and in inflammatory conditions.
This 1000mg concentration is designed for research protocols requiring high-volume quantities of NAD+ for in vitro experiments, cell culture studies, or extended preclinical investigations. NAD+ is a standard research compound across biochemistry, cell biology, neuroscience, and metabolic disease research disciplines.
