NAD+
NAD+ — The Coenzyme
- Supports cellular energy production
- Promotes healthy ageing
- Supports DNA repair
Overview
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every living cell, central to the reactions that convert nutrients into cellular energy. It is not a peptide, but it sits alongside them in research on metabolism and ageing. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder in a sealed vial for laboratory and in-vitro research.
PepSource supplies NAD+ in 500mg and 1000mg vials. Every batch is independently third-party tested for HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity, and the certificate of analysis for the batch you receive is published on our lab results page.

Research Focus
NAD+ is one of the most studied molecules in ageing biology. Published research has examined its role in cellular energy metabolism and redox reactions; activation of the sirtuins, a family of enzymes involved in cellular repair and stress response; PARP-mediated DNA repair, which consumes NAD+ directly; and the well-documented decline of NAD+ levels with age, which is the observation most of the field is built around.
Research on NAD+ includes both human studies and animal models. Our summary of the published literature is here: SS-31, MOTS-c & NAD+ Dosage: What Studies Show.
Testing & Certificates of Analysis
Each batch is tested by an independent analytical laboratory for HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity before release. Certificates are published per batch and searchable by lot code on our lab results page — you can verify the exact vial you were sent.
