NAD+

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) – Oxidized Coenzyme

At a Glance: NAD+ is a fundamental, naturally occurring coenzyme found in all living cells, essential for cellular metabolism and energy production. What it is used for: It is utilized in advanced laboratory research to study cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA repair. In lab rat models, researchers study its ability to rapidly restore cellular energy (ATP) levels, activate longevity pathways, and combat age-related metabolic decline.

Product Overview

NAD+ is the absolute cornerstone of cellular respiration and energy transfer. While its natural synthesis rapidly declines with age, exogenous NAD+ administration in research settings allows for the direct replenishment of cellular reservoirs. Beyond merely serving as an energy conduit, it acts as a critical, consumable substrate for sirtuins (proteins that regulate cellular health and aging) and PARPs (enzymes that facilitate DNA repair). It represents a vital compound for studying how restoring youthful energy metabolism can reverse systemic aging, repair genetic damage, and fortify the central nervous system against neurodegenerative stress in research subjects.

Technical Specifications

• Molecular Formula: C21H27N7O14P2

• Molecular Weight: 663.43 g/mol

• CAS Number: 53-84-9

• Chemical Profile: Oxidized dinucleotide containing an adenine base and a nicotinamide base joined by a pair of phosphate groups.

Mechanism of Action

NAD+ initiates profound systemic effects by functioning as both a universal electron transporter and a crucial signaling molecule:

• Mitochondrial ATP Production (Redox Reactions): Acts as the primary electron carrier in metabolic processes, capturing electrons from nutrients and delivering them to the electron transport chain to generate massive amounts of ATP (cellular energy).

• Sirtuin Activation: Serves as the essential, rate-limiting fuel for sirtuins (SIRT1-7). When activated by NAD+, these epigenetic regulators go to work silencing aging genes, reducing systemic inflammation, and triggering mitochondrial biogenesis (the creation of new, healthy mitochondria).

• DNA Repair (PARP Substrate): It is actively consumed by Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) to quickly detect and repair single-strand DNA breaks, preventing genomic instability caused by daily oxidative stress, toxins, or radiation.

🚚 📦 Availability 

At CNL, we believe quality is worth the wait. Instead of stocking products and have them sit for months, most orders are produced in small batches to maintain the quality and consistency our customers expect.

Production typically takes approximately two weeks. While this isn't the norm in today's world of overnight delivery, it's how we deliver the premium quality we're known for.

Limited inventory may be available for immediate shipment after large production runs or special promotions.

As a thank you for your patience, we offer bundle discounts of up to 50% OFF.
