NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide - the oxidised form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, central to redox reactions across essentially all cellular metabolism.
NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a peptide - the oxidised form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, central to redox reactions across essentially all cellular metabolism.
It is the most hygroscopic item in the catalogue by a wide margin. Vials should be brought fully to room temperature before opening, since opening a cold vial condenses atmospheric moisture directly onto the powder and will degrade it.
Aqueous solutions are unstable at alkaline pH, where the nicotinamide-ribose bond hydrolyses. Solutions should be prepared fresh and kept at or below neutral pH.

Vials arrive lyophilized and sealed under nitrogen. Bring the vial fully to room temperature before breaking the seal — opening a cold vial condenses atmospheric moisture onto the cake.
Direct diluent gently against the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and allow the material to dissolve without agitation. Vortexing shears longer sequences and introduces air.
Lyophilized: -20 C, tightly sealed, desiccated. Reconstituted: 2-8 C, use within 14 days.

NAD+ is strongly hygroscopic. Opening a cold vial condenses moisture onto the powder and degrades it.
Aqueous NAD+ hydrolyses, particularly at alkaline pH. Prepare fresh where possible.
No - it is a dinucleotide coenzyme. It is stocked because it appears alongside the peptide catalogue in bench work.
NAD+ is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, food or cosmetic, is not approved by the FDA for any use in humans or animals, and no dosing guidance is published for it. Nothing on this page is a therapeutic, structure–function or health claim. Purchasers must be 21 or over and are responsible for compliance with all applicable law. Full terms of supply.
