NAD+

Technical Monograph

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) is an essential coenzyme present in all living cells. It is central to cellular energy metabolism and serves as a critical substrate for sirtuins and DNA repair enzymes.

Mechanism of Action

NAD+ acts as a primary electron carrier in mitochondrial redox reactions and facilitates the activity of SIRT1, which regulates cellular DNA repair and circadian rhythm-related signaling.

Pharmacological Detail

Parenteral NAD+ increases systemic availability, supporting mitochondrial function and addressing the documented age-related decline in cellular NAD+ levels.

Pharmacodynamics

Directly influences SIRT1-mediated deacetylation of metabolic regulators, modulating antioxidant defense and cellular resilience pathways.

Pharmacokinetics

Parenteral application ensures 100% bioavailability. Rapid tissue uptake observed in IV/IM research models.

Preclinical Observations & In Vitro Data
