NAD+
Also known as Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Central redox coenzyme studied in mitochondrial function, sirtuin signalling, and aging research.
- Classification
- Dinucleotide coenzyme (not a peptide)
- Supplied form
- Lyophilized powder, research vial
- Storage
- Store lyophilized powder cold and dry, protected from light. NAD+ in solution is comparatively labile and is generally prepared fresh.
- Solubility
- Highly water soluble.
What NAD+ is
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell, functioning as an electron carrier in redox reactions and as a substrate for sirtuins, PARPs, and CD38.
Research context
Research examines cellular energy production, DNA-repair enzymes, mitochondrial biology, and the decline of NAD+ levels associated with aging.
Handling in the laboratory
Listed in 500mg and 1000mg research vials. Larger vial sizes mean higher reconstitution volumes are common when targeting a given mg/mL concentration.
Concentration reference
Working concentration is determined solely by the solvent volume added to the vial. The Lucent Life reconstitution calculator converts vial strength and solvent volume into mg/mL and U-100 syringe units. It performs unit math only and does not recommend any dosing, administration, or frequency.

Frequently asked
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme, listed in the catalog alongside peptides as a laboratory reference material.
