NAD+

Research Peptide

Also known as: Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, NAD

What is NAD+?

NAD+ is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production and is being studied for its potential anti-aging and metabolic benefits.

How It Works

NAD+ is crucial for mitochondrial function, DNA repair via sirtuins, and cellular energy metabolism. Levels decline with age.
