NAD+: what it is & how it’s tested
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. Unlike the peptides in the range, it is a dinucleotide, not a peptide. It is supplied as a research compound for in vitro laboratory study only.

What NAD+ is
NAD+ is a coenzyme made of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups — one carrying an adenine base, the other nicotinamide. It is a small biomolecule central to cellular biochemistry and is studied as a defined research compound.
Its identity is confirmed analytically and its purity measured by HPLC, so each batch can be reported on an independent Certificate of Analysis.
Where NAD+ appears in research
In the research literature, NAD+ is studied in cellular-metabolism and aging-biology research models. This describes the research domain in which the compound appears, not a claim of any effect. NAD+ here is supplied as a research compound — not a supplement, medicine or cosmetic — and is not approved for human or veterinary use.
How NAD+ should be tested
Quality is a matter of evidence, not the label. A credible supplier tests every batch at an independent laboratory: HPLC measures purity as a percentage (commonly to a ≥99% benchmark), and mass spectrometry confirms the compound’s identity.
The result should be a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis you can verify at source. Learn how to read a COA, or see BioHack London’s independent NAD+ reports.
Storage, handling and reconstitution
Lyophilised (freeze-dried) NAD+ is generally kept cool, dry and out of light. Reconstitution — dissolving it in a suitable solvent such as bacteriostatic water — is done immediately before laboratory use, and the reconstituted solution is typically refrigerated and used within a limited period.
Our reconstitution calculator helps work out solvent volumes, and bacteriostatic water is available in the range.
NAD+: frequently asked questions
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in all living cells, central to many cellular reactions. It is supplied here as a research compound for in vitro laboratory research use only.
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide. It is included in the research range because it is a widely studied research compound, but structurally it differs from the peptides.
How is NAD+ tested?
A credible supplier tests each batch at an independent laboratory — HPLC for purity (commonly to a ≥99% benchmark) and analytical confirmation of identity — and publishes a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis you can verify at source.
Is NAD+ for human use?
No. This NAD+ is supplied strictly for in vitro laboratory research. It is not for human or animal consumption and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Purchasers must be 18 or over.
