NAD+
NAD+ is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a redox coenzyme present in every living cell and one of the most studied molecules in biochemistry. It is not a peptide, and we group it under cellular and metabolic compounds for that reason. It cycles between an oxidised form, NAD+, and a reduced form, NADH, carrying electrons between the reactions of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Beyond that classical role it is consumed as a substrate by three families of enzymes, which is what has driven the recent research interest. We supply it as a powder at 500mg per vial with an independent certificate of analysis.
