NAD⁺ (β-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is an essential coenzyme present in every living cell, playing a central role in energy metabolism, DNA repair, mitochondrial function, and cellular longevity. Levels of NAD⁺ decline naturally with age and metabolic stress, making it a critical focus area in anti-aging, metabolic, and neuroprotective research.

The Biopeptics NAD⁺ 500 mg formulation is provided in lyophilized powder form to preserve molecular activity and ensure maximum stability for laboratory applications.

For research use only. 

How It Works

1. Cellular Energy & Mitochondrial Function

NAD⁺ is the primary electron carrier in redox reactions essential for ATP production. It participates in key cellular cycles:

  • Glycolysis (glucose to pyruvate conversion)
  • Krebs / TCA Cycle (energy release within mitochondria)
  • Oxidative phosphorylation (ATP synthesis via electron-transport chain)

By maintaining mitochondrial efficiency, NAD⁺ ensures optimal cellular energy output, resilience, and survival under metabolic stress.

2. DNA Repair & Sirtuin Activation

NAD⁺ acts as a substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1–SIRT7) -a family of longevity-associated enzymes that regulate:

  • Gene expression linked to aging and metabolism
  • DNA-damage repair through PARP (poly ADP-ribose polymerase) activation
  • Telomere maintenance and genome stability
  • Cellular stress response and inflammation control

Sirtuin activation via NAD⁺ enhances cellular self-repair and supports youthful metabolic function in research models.

3. Neuroprotection & Cognitive Function

NAD⁺ supports neuronal energy balance and neurotransmitter synthesis. It promotes axon regeneration, stabilizes synaptic signaling, and protects against oxidative and excitotoxic stress. Research shows elevated NAD⁺ levels correlate with improved cognitive performance, focus, and neuroplasticity.

4. Anti-Inflammatory & Metabolic Regulation

By influencing NF-κB and AMPK pathways, NAD⁺ helps:

  • Reduce chronic inflammation at the cellular level
  • Improve glucose utilization and lipid metabolism
  • Support circadian rhythm and metabolic homeostasis

This makes NAD⁺ an integral molecule in aging, metabolic-syndrome, and mitochondrial-function studies.

Research Applications

  • Mitochondrial energy-metabolism research
  • DNA-repair and sirtuin-activation studies
  • Neurodegenerative-disease and cognitive-function models
  • Anti-inflammatory and longevity research
  • Metabolic and fatigue-recovery trials

Possible Side Effects (Observed in Research & Clinical Settings)

Who Should Use with Caution / Avoid in Research Contexts

NAD⁺ is a central metabolic cofactor involved in mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and cellular energy regulation. Use caution or avoid in the following research contexts:

Pregnancy or lactation models (no safety data available)

Severe hypotension-prone models (may further lower blood pressure; monitor closely)

Advanced liver disease or cirrhosis models (impaired nicotinamide metabolism)

Gout or hyperuricemia-sensitive models (high NAD⁺ turnover may elevate uric acid)

Diabetes or hypoglycemia-prone models (monitor glucose due to improved insulin sensitivity)

Active cancer or tumor-bearing models (NAD⁺ supports DNA repair and mitochondrial pathways that may confound proliferation studies)

Summary

NAD⁺ is a naturally occurring molecule with a high safety margin in research when properly diluted and administered slowly. Most reported side effects -flushing, dizziness, mild nausea, or fatigue -are transient and dose-related. Severe or prolonged discomfort usually indicates too rapid infusion, inadequate dilution, or excessive concentration.
