Longevity & cellular health
NAD+
A coenzyme present in every cell and essential for energy production. Its levels drop with age.
Not a peptide. Included because it is part of the catalog and the dosage sheet.
How it works
A coenzyme every cell needs to make energy, and the fuel for enzymes that repair DNA (sirtuins and PARPs).
What it is used for
Anti-aging, fatigue and recovery from addiction, as offered in clinics.
What the evidence says
Small studies only. Clear health benefits have not been shown, and injected NAD+ is broken down quickly.
Side effects and cautions
Flushing, nausea, chest tightness and cramps, especially if given fast. Injections under the skin can sting.
Half-life
Minutes: it is quickly broken down in the body
Makes sense for
- Adults with fatigue looking to support energy metabolism
Does not make sense for
- Active cancer
- People sensitive to flushing or nausea
Boost the effect
- Exercise: raises NAD+ naturally
- TMG (trimethylglycine): replaces methyl groups the body uses up when clearing extra NAD+ (community practice)
