Research Use Only
NAD+ 500mg (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is the oxidised form of a coenzyme found in every living cell, supplied in one pre-filled research pen. Every NAD+ pen is prepared to order in the UK and shipped cold chain by tracked delivery.
NAD+ is not a peptide but a dinucleotide, and it sits at the centre of cellular energy metabolism. Read MOTS-c vs SS-31 vs NAD+ for how it compares with the mitochondrial peptides MOTS-c and SS-31, or see 5-Amino-1MQ, a compound studied for its effect on the NAD+ salvage pathway.
How NAD+ is studied
NAD+ carries electrons in glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, cycling between its oxidised (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms. It is also consumed as a substrate by sirtuins, PARP enzymes and CD38, which link it to gene regulation and DNA-damage signalling. Animal studies have measured NAD+ levels in different tissues with age and examined precursors such as NMN and NR.
5 key research areas
- Redox metabolism. NAD+ and NADH are studied as electron carriers in glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and mitochondrial respiration.
- Sirtuin signalling. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent deacylases, so NAD+ availability is examined as a regulator of their activity.
- PARP and DNA-damage signalling. PARP enzymes consume NAD+ when they respond to DNA damage, linking NAD+ levels to genome-maintenance research.
- Age-related changes in NAD+ levels. Rodent studies have measured how NAD+ levels change across tissues with age, and the role of NAD+-consuming enzymes such as CD38.
- Precursors and biosynthesis. The salvage pathway and precursors such as NMN and NR are studied for how they raise cellular NAD+ in animal models.

- Long-term: −20 °C in a temperature-controlled environment
- Short-term: keep cool and stable (2–8 °C) and away from direct light
- Keep the pen sealed when not in use
- Avoid repeated temperature changes (freeze–thaw cycles)
Handling guidance
- Check that the packaging and tamper seal are intact on arrival
- Handle as little as possible, using standard laboratory practice
- Record the batch number for traceability
- Follow any batch-specific guidance supplied with your order
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It carries electrons in energy metabolism and is used by enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs. Apexion supplies it for laboratory research only.
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. NAD+ is a dinucleotide made of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. It is supplied in the same pre-filled research pen format as our peptides.
How much NAD+ is in each pen?
Each pen contains 500 mg of NAD+ in one pre-filled research pen. Every pen comes from a single batch and carries its batch number.
Is NAD+ independently tested?
Every NAD+ pen is made fresh after your order is placed, so each one is prepared and quality checked to order rather than taken from old stock. Independent third-party testing of NAD+ is under way, and the batch Certificate of Analysis will be published as soon as the results are verified. Each pen carries a batch number, so its documentation can be traced.
Can NAD+ be used in humans or animals?
No. This product is not a medicine and is not licensed by the MHRA. It is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research, and is not for human or veterinary use, diagnosis or treatment.
How should NAD+ be stored?
NAD+ is shipped cold chain. On arrival, keep the pen sealed and store it at −20 °C for long-term storage, away from heat and direct light. Handle it as little as possible and follow any batch-specific guidance supplied with your order.
