NAD+

High-purity, research-grade compound. It is a critical coenzyme found in every living cell, often referred to as the "molecular linchpin" for its role in the mitochondria.

Research Focus Areas

In laboratory studies, NAD+ is used to investigate several key biological pathways:

• Cellular Energy (ATP) Production: It is the primary electron transporter in the Krebs cycle, converting nutrients into cellular energy. Without adequate NAD+, mitochondrial function declines.

• DNA Repair: It is a required substrate for PARPs (Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerases), which are enzymes that detect and repair damaged DNA.

• Sirtuin Activation: NAD+ is the "fuel" for sirtuins, a family of proteins (like SIRT1) that regulate cellular health, aging, and circadian rhythms.

• Neuroprotection: Research focuses on its ability to reduce neuroinflammation and protect neurons from oxidative stress, often studied in the context of "brain fog" or cognitive decline.
