Overview
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a fundamental coenzyme found in all living cells that participates in hundreds of metabolic reactions. Note: NAD+ is not a peptide—it is a dinucleotide coenzyme. It is sold by some peptide vendors due to its prominent role in longevity, metabolic health, and energy research.
Mechanism of Action
NAD+ functions as an electron carrier in cellular respiration, cycling between its oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms to transfer electrons in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. It also serves as a co-substrate for sirtuins (SIRT1–7), PARP enzymes, and CD38, playing key roles in DNA repair, epigenetic regulation, and cellular aging.
