NAD+

peptide · headline503A compounded

Serves as a coenzyme in redox reactions facilitating ATP production

Summary

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital coenzyme involved in redox reactions, DNA repair, and energy metabolism. NAD+ precursors and NAD+ IV/IM formulations are studied for their effects on aging, mitochondrial health, and cellular stress.

How it works

  • Serves as a coenzyme in redox reactions facilitating ATP production
  • Acts as a substrate for sirtuins and PARPs
  • Regulates circadian rhythms and immune responses
  • Maintains NAD+/NADH and NADP+/NADPH redox balance
  • Activates PGC-1α through SIRT1, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis
  • Supports antioxidant response via FOXO and NRF2 activation
