What is NAD+?

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell, playing a central role in energy metabolism and hundreds of enzymatic reactions. Cellular NAD+ levels are known to decline with age, which has driven substantial research interest in its role in aging and metabolic health.

Areas of Research Interest

  • Cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial function studies
  • Aging and longevity research
  • DNA repair pathway studies
  • Metabolic health and insulin sensitivity research

Regulatory Status

NAD+ occurs naturally in the body and in food. Supplement forms of NAD+ precursors are available over the counter as dietary supplements, but injectable or high-concentration research-grade NAD+ is not FDA-approved as a drug and is intended solely for laboratory research.
