The redox pair that shuttles electrons in energy metabolism - research fact, not a Form Labs product claim.
Belenky et al., Trends Biochem Sci, 2007NAD+/NADH coenzyme reference material
NAD+
NAD+ is a coenzyme reference material supplied for laboratory research only.
NAD+ is not a peptide. It is a coenzyme - a small helper molecule that every living cell needs to run its chemistry. The easiest way to picture it is as a courier, carrying electrons from one place to another inside the cell. Supplied freeze-dried, for in-vitro laboratory research only.
Form Labs materials are research reference materials, not the approved medicines; no Form Labs product is approved for human or veterinary use.

Research use onlyWhy this molecule is studied
Why researchers study NAD+ biology.
Every cell in your body is constantly pulling food apart to get energy out of it. That releases electrons, and those electrons have to be carried somewhere useful. NAD+ is what carries them.
When NAD+ picks up a load it becomes NADH. When it drops that load off, it is NAD+ again. Same molecule, two states, going round and round - which is why papers always write it as the 'NAD+/NADH pair'. Researchers watch the ratio between the two, because it tells them how hard a cell is working right now.
Then there is a second storyline. A group of enzymes - sirtuins, PARPs and CD38 - do not borrow NAD+, they spend it. PARPs get called in when DNA is damaged. Sirtuins are studied around how genes get switched on and off. Because these enzymes use up the very thing the energy system relies on, a live research question is what gives when they are busy. That is how NAD+ ended up in ageing research.
One thing worth knowing if you go reading around: most of the human studies in this field did not use NAD+ at all. They used NMN and NR, two molecules the body converts into NAD+. Findings about those do not automatically carry across.
This page describes that research and the batch you are getting. It is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only - not a medicine, not a supplement, and not for people or animals to take.
The research

Plain-language research labels.
NAD+ has two jobs in the research: courier, and currency. Here is what each one means - the science the papers discuss, not a description of what this material does.
The electron shuttle
NAD+ picks up the electrons freed when a cell breaks down food, carries them across the cell, and drops them where energy actually gets made. Nothing exotic about it - it is a delivery job. But without something doing that job the whole process stalls, which is why NAD+ turns up in almost every paper on how cells make energy.
Why it is written NAD+/NADH
Two states of one molecule. NAD+ is empty-handed; NADH is carrying. Researchers track the ratio between them because it is a live readout of how hard a cell's energy machinery is working.
The enzymes that spend it
Sirtuins, PARPs and CD38 do not borrow NAD+ - they spend it. PARPs show up when DNA needs repairing; sirtuins are studied around switching genes on and off. Since they are spending the same NAD+ the energy system depends on, researchers want to know which job has to give when they get busy - the energy machinery, the repair work, or something else.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
NAD+ is supplied as laboratory research material only. It is 21+ only, not for human consumption, and not for veterinary use.
The product page lists catalog lot, appearance and storage notes for NAD+. Available original reports are labelled by sample; matching current certification is unavailable where the compound, lot or amount differs. A heavy-metals screen does not measure purity or confirm identity.
Follow the label and your laboratory's written procedures. Do not treat a historical sample report as current lot documentation. This page repeats 2-8 C storage guidance and light-protection notes before checkout.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. In the research literature it drives redox reactions - the NAD+/NADH pair that shuttles electrons in energy metabolism - and acts as a substrate for enzymes such as sirtuins, PARPs and CD38. It is a molecule studied in cell biology, not a medicine or supplement.
NAD+ is the coenzyme itself. NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and NR (nicotinamide riboside) are precursors - molecules the body can convert into NAD+. Much of the human research on 'raising NAD+' has used those precursors rather than NAD+ directly, so findings about NMN or NR do not automatically transfer to NAD+ itself.
Neither, in the form supplied here. Form Laboratories supplies NAD+ strictly as a reference material for laboratory research. It is not a registered medicine, not a supplement, not a food, and not intended for human or animal use.
No. NAD+ from Form Laboratories is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a medicine, supplement, food, or product for people or animals to consume.
In research, NAD+ is studied in relation to mitochondrial function, DNA-repair enzymes and metabolism, and NAD+ biology is a topic within aging research. That describes a field of study, not an effect this product produces in a person.
NAD+ has no individual entry in the October 2026 Poisons Standard (checked 1 October 2026), and absence from that document is never a permission. Form Labs supplies NAD+ strictly as laboratory research material, not for human or veterinary use.
