What Is NAD+

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a critical coenzyme found in all living cells, playing a central role in cellular metabolism, energy production, and signaling. As the oxidized form of NADH, NAD+ is essential for transferring electrons in biochemical reactions and supporting a variety of biological processes including DNA repair, immune response, circadian rhythm regulation, and enzyme activity. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, contributing to many age-related conditions and decreased cellular efficiency. Research into supplementation has demonstrated that restoring NAD+ levels can help counteract some of these declines, making it an exciting area of study for longevity and regenerative medicine.

NAD+ Effects and Research

NAD+ has been shown to support a wide range of cellular functions. By activating enzymes like sirtuins and PARPs, NAD+ helps regulate gene expression, repair DNA damage, reduce inflammation, and maintain healthy mitochondrial function. Studies have demonstrated benefits in preserving neuronal health, improving vascular integrity, increasing muscle strength, and even reversing certain signs of aging in animal models. Additionally, NAD+ shows synergistic effects when combined with CoQ10, resveratrol, B vitamins, and alpha-lipoic acid — further supporting cellular resilience and longevity. Research suggests that NAD+ also plays a role in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders, and recovery from addiction by modulating stress and reward pathways.

NAD+ in Aging and Beyond

Recent findings highlight NAD+ as a key molecule in the fight against age-related decline. Mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced cellular repair mechanisms are hallmarks of aging that NAD+ can help mitigate. Supplementation has been shown to improve muscle function, cognitive performance, and overall vitality in preclinical studies. Researchers are also exploring its role in combating neurodegeneration, inflammation, and metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes.

Storage Instructions

All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures that our products remain 100% stable for shipping for up to 3-4 months. Once the peptides are reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), they must be stored in the fridge to maintain stability. After reconstitution, the peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a unique dehydration process, also known as cryodesiccation, where the peptides are frozen and then subjected to low pressure. This causes the water in the peptide vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure known as lyophilized peptide. The puffy white powder can be stored at room temperature until you're ready to reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water.

Once peptides have been received, it is imperative that they are kept cold and away from light. If the peptides will be used immediately, or in the next several days, weeks or months, short-term refrigeration under 4°C (39°F) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks or more, so if they will be utilized within weeks or months such storage is typically adequate.

However, for longer-term storage (several months to years) it is more preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80°C (-112°F). When storing peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability.
