About NAD+

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a fundamental redox coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays an essential role in cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, sirtuin and PARP signalling, and DNA repair. Optic Labs supplies NAD+ as a high-purity lyophilised powder in 1000mg (1g) vials, packaged for in vitro and preclinical laboratory research. Each batch is independently HPLC-tested for purity and identity, with certificates of analysis available on request.

NAD+ has become one of the most studied molecules in the longevity, mitochondrial biology and metabolic research literature. Published research has investigated NAD+ in models of cellular ageing, sirtuin activation, NAD+/NADH ratio regulation, axonal protection and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Optic Labs supplies the compound for laboratory research only — not for human consumption, clinical use, or any therapeutic application.

Research background

NAD+ was first identified by Harden and Young in 1906 as a "co-ferment" required for yeast fermentation. The molecule's central role in cellular metabolism has driven extensive published research across multiple decades, including:

• Sirtuin (SIRT1-7) deacetylase activation and gene expression regulation
• PARP (poly-ADP-ribose polymerase) DNA repair pathways
• Mitochondrial NAD+/NADH ratio and oxidative phosphorylation
• CD38 hydrolase and NAD+ consumption pathways
• Wallerian degeneration and axonal protection studies
• Cellular senescence and longevity-pathway research
• Metabolic disease models — NAFLD, insulin sensitivity research

Reconstitution and handling

NAD+ is supplied as a lyophilised powder and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before use in any laboratory protocol. A 1000mg vial reconstituted in 5mL of bacteriostatic water yields a working concentration of 200mg/mL; in 10mL it yields 100mg/mL. NAD+ is light-sensitive and pH-sensitive, so reconstituted solutions should be stored refrigerated at 2–8°C, protected from light, and used within approximately 30 days. Our reconstitution calculator guide walks through the maths.

Commonly stacked research peptides

NAD+ is frequently studied alongside other longevity and mitochondrial-research peptides. Researchers may also be interested in:

• MOTS-c — mitochondrial-derived peptide research
• SS-31 — mitochondrial protection research
• Epithalon — telomerase and longevity research
• 5-Amino-1MQ — NNMT inhibition and metabolic research
• Glutathione — antioxidant defence research

Frequently asked questions

Is NAD+ legal in Australia?

NAD+ as a research chemical is not currently approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for therapeutic use in Australia. Optic Labs supplies NAD+ strictly as a research chemical for in vitro and preclinical laboratory research — not for human consumption, clinical use or any therapeutic application. For a detailed overview, see our guide to peptide legality and TGA compliance in Australia.

What is NAD+?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells, central to cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function and DNA repair. In published research it has been investigated for its role in sirtuin activation, NAD+/NADH ratio regulation and longevity-pathway signalling. See our NAD+ longevity research guide for background.

What is the difference between NAD+, NADH, NMN and NR?

NAD+ is the oxidised form of the coenzyme; NADH is its reduced form. NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) are precursor molecules in the NAD+ biosynthetic salvage pathway. Optic Labs supplies the NAD+ form directly. Our research guide covers the differences in the published biochemistry literature.

How is NAD+ supplied?

Optic Labs supplies NAD+ as a lyophilised powder in glass research vials in a 1000mg (1g) size. Each vial is sealed and shipped with a tamper-evident seal. Certificates of analysis showing HPLC purity testing are available on request.

How should reconstituted NAD+ be stored?

NAD+ is particularly sensitive to light, heat, and pH. Unreconstituted vials should be stored at 2–8°C and protected from light. Once reconstituted, the solution should be refrigerated at 2–8°C, kept strictly away from light, and used within approximately 30 days. For full storage protocols, see our peptide storage guide.

Where does Optic Labs ship to?

Optic Labs ships Australia-wide from Sydney, NSW. Standard dispatch is next business day on orders received before the daily cut-off. International shipping is not currently offered.
