NAD+
Product Description
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a ubiquitous coenzyme central to redox reactions and cellular energy metabolism. In research settings, NAD+ is examined for roles in mitochondrial ATP production, DNA repair signaling, and stress-response pathways.
This page is a neutral, research-oriented overview. It does not include reconstitution or dosing information.
Overview
How Might NAD+ Work?
NAD+ cycles between oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) states to shuttle electrons in metabolic pathways such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. It also serves as a substrate for enzyme families including sirtuins and PARPs that regulate chromatin state, DNA repair, and cellular stress responses in research models.
Potential Mechanistic Themes Under Investigation
- Mitochondrial function: electron transport and ATP generation.
- Genome maintenance: PARP- and sirtuin-mediated DNA repair and chromatin regulation.
- Cellular stress & metabolism: redox balance, metabolic flexibility, and signaling crosstalk.
- Aging biology: age-associated NAD+ decline as a research target in longevity pathways.
Observational Milestones
- 1–2 weeks: Redox/energy metrics commonly monitored; questionnaires where applicable.
- 4–8 weeks: Trends in mitochondrial function proxies and attention/focus measures are often evaluated.
- 12+ weeks: Broader panels (metabolic, inflammatory, or performance-related) assessed for durability and safety signals.
Research Notes
- Domains of interest: cellular energy metabolism, neurocognitive research, recovery from cellular stress, and aging biology.
- Form: studied in various research formats; availability/specifications vary by jurisdiction and supplier.
- Monitoring in studies: GI tolerance, flushing, sleep/alertness, and broader lab markers per protocol.
- Data caveats: external validity and long-term effects remain active areas of investigation.
