View & buy on store →About NAD+
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring dinucleotide coenzyme present in every living cell, with the molecular formula C21H27N7O14P2 and a molecular weight of approximately 663.43 g/mol. It is a coenzyme — not a peptide — though it is commonly studied alongside metabolic research compounds and is handled the same way in the laboratory. NAD+ functions as a central electron carrier, cycling between its oxidised form (NAD+) and reduced form (NADH).
Within the research community, NAD+ is studied in pre-clinical models as a substrate for the sirtuin family of enzymes and for PARP enzymes involved in DNA-repair signalling, and for its role in mitochondrial energy metabolism. The NAD+ salvage pathway and cellular redox state are areas of ongoing published work. NAD+ is supplied by Vital Research Labs strictly as a reference compound for in-vitro laboratory investigation.
Molecular target
- Sirtuins (SIRT1–7) — NAD+-dependent enzymes studied in relation to cellular metabolism and gene-regulation research.
- PARP enzymes — NAD+-consuming enzymes investigated in the context of DNA-repair signalling.
- NAD+ salvage pathway — studied in relation to nicotinamide availability and cellular NAD+ pools.
- Mitochondrial redox — the NAD+/NADH ratio is a standard marker of cellular metabolic state in research.

The Certificate of Analysis for batch CS-NAD20430 confirms content; a purity figure is not stated on the certificate for this batch.
Reconstitution & handling
NAD+ is supplied as a lyophilised powder. For research handling it is typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water; the exact volume depends on the concentration a given research protocol calls for. Handle under appropriate laboratory conditions.
Storage & stability
- Powder — store at -20 °C, protected from light and moisture.
- Reconstituted solution — store at 2–8 °C; more stable in solution than most peptides, typically used within 8–12 weeks.
- Handling — keep vials sealed until use; minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
Quality & testing
Every batch supplied by Vital Research Labs is analysed by an independent third-party laboratory, with purity confirmed by analytical testing. The Certificate of Analysis for this batch is published in our CoA library once received.
Shipping within Australia
NAD+ is dispatched from within Australia to Australian research customers, packaged discreetly and appropriately for a lyophilised research compound. Orders are processed on receipt of payment via bank transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Is NAD+ a peptide?
No. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide. It is commonly studied alongside metabolic research compounds and is supplied as a lyophilised powder for reconstitution in the same way.
Is NAD+ available in Australia for research?
Yes. Vital Research Labs supplies research-grade NAD+ (500mg) to Australian research customers, dispatched domestically. It is provided strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and is not for human or veterinary use.
What is NAD+ studied for in research?
NAD+ is a central coenzyme in cellular metabolism. In pre-clinical research it is studied as a substrate for sirtuin and PARP enzymes, for its role in mitochondrial energy metabolism, and in relation to the NAD+ salvage pathway and cellular redox state.
What purity is your NAD+?
The Certificate of Analysis for batch CS-NAD20430 is published in our CoA library. It confirms content by assay; a purity percentage is not stated on the certificate for this batch, so we do not quote one.
How should NAD+ be stored?
The powder is stored at -20 degrees C, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted for research it is kept at 2-8 degrees C and is more stable in solution than most peptides, typically used within 8 to 12 weeks.
Is NAD+ intended for human use?
No. NAD+ (500mg) supplied by Vital Research Labs is intended strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and development. It is not a medicine or therapeutic good and is not for human consumption, veterinary use, or clinical application.
